Abstract: From the perspective of the development of the geography discipline and taking Sun Yat-sen University(SYSU) and the Chinese University of Hong Kong(CUHK) as an example, this paper explores the similarities and differences of undergraduate education of geography in Guangdong and Hong Kong. SYSU has more advantages in terms of the number of faculty member, while CUHK is ranked higher. In curriculum design, both universities exhibit their own characteristics, i.e., SYSY attaches great importance to integrating ideological and political elements into the teaching practice, while CUHK implements "the biliterate and trilingual" education policy, attaches great importance to improving students' knowledge and understanding of the city and region where they live, and offers courses that fully reflect local culture and regional characteristics. In teaching practice, CUHK pays more attention to student participation and contribution than SYSU. Our research results will help to understand the characteristics of higher education of geography in Guangdong and Hong Kong, further promote the integrated development of geography higher education in the Greater Bay Area, and provide a decision-making basis for the construction of an international education demonstration region.
