Antiquity
Yim Tin Tsai: discover secluded island's salt-making past and contemporary arts and culture
Written by South China Morning Post ( Morning Studio )
Artworks including a larger-than-life wooden sculpture and a colourful birdhouse tower greet visitors at the tiny, once abandoned island of Yim Tin Tsai, near Sai Kung Peninsula. The island, once the site of a Hakka Catholic village, has an almost 300-year history. Today it is home to numerous unique cultural heritage sites, including two UNESCO award-winning attractions — the salt pans (or yim tin, in Cantonese), which inspired its name, and the elegant century-old St Joseph's Chapel. Dozens of artworks, co-created by artists and villagers for the Yim Tin Tsai Arts Festival since 2019, have helped it become a dynamic open museum and hotspot for Instagram-worthy photographs.

Yim Tin Tsai has a village store and a kiosk near the pier selling drinks and local snacks, such as Hakka dough dumplings and tofu custard.
