Yim Tin Tsai 鹽田梓

It’s a small offshore island under Sai Kung District. The only salt pans in Hong Kong, and an island filled with swampy mangroves and Hakka cultural. Former villagers returned to the island to preserves their traditional way of life and way of making salt. We took a trip to Yim Tin Tsai before the “5th wave”. It’s a 15 minutes boat ride from Sai Kung Pier to Yim Tin Tsai. Arriving at 9:30 in the morning, we have plenty of time to explore the island. Hence, decided to take a hike around the island, passing St Joseph Cathedral where the museum dedicated to Hakka life is right next to it, heading uphill to the Twin Pavilion, downhill to a T junction, we stop by Jade-Girdle Bridge that’ connects Yim Tin Tsai island to The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course before returning to the junction and heading back to the pier. Our tickets includes the entrance to cultural museum and salt pans. It’s easy to understand, my k2 boy and p1 girl definitely learn something out of it, and got to see the tools used in old days for real. We traveled with 好姐 at the pier, her booth is close to the restaurant. Charging $70 per adult, $50 for kids age 4-12 and senior age 65 above. There are restaurant and public toilets at the pier. For those who’s interested to visit the Salt & Light Preservation Centre (鹽光保育中心）, take note that they closed on Monday.
