Yim Tin Tsai Village

#HongKongInDepthTour Yim Tin Tsai is located off the coast of Sai Kung. It is a Hakka village that was once abandoned and later revitalized. The small island was originally a settlement for Catholic villagers who made a living from salt production. Today, it preserves the old salt fields, a Catholic chapel, and some ancient houses. St. Joseph's Chapel has been declared a statutory monument, blending Chinese and Western architectural styles, showcasing the unique fusion of local religion and traditional culture. What makes Yim Tin Tsai especially unique is its combination of cultural preservation and ecological education. Many schools and groups organize guided tours and experiential activities here, such as "Salt Field Reclamation" and "Nature Guided Tours." Visitors can explore the island at a leisurely pace, feeling the tranquility and traces of past times. The entire trip is educational and also ideal for photography, history, or ecology enthusiasts. If you want to avoid crowds and deeply connect with local culture and history, Yim Tin Tsai is definitely worth a visit.
