Yim Tin Tsai

ABOUT THE ARTS FESTIVAL

The village of Yim Tin Tsai in Sai Kung has a history of nearly three centuries. Inhabited by villagers surnamed Chan, the island exemplifies the peaceful co-existence of Roman Catholicism and Hakka culture. In parallel with Hong Kong’s urbanisation, villagers gradually moved out, and fortunately, the valuable natural ecology and heritage are both well-preserved. The conservation of St. Joseph’s Chapel and the revitalisation of the saltpans have won the Award of Merit and Award of Distinction presented by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2005 and 2015 respectively, affirming Yim Tin Tsai’s cultural value and characteristics.
