Trip Moments Recommendations
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.

鹽田梓藝術節開催
鹽田梓又名「鹽田仔」，從前島上村民設鹽田以曬鹽維生。隨著製鹽業式微、村民移居他方，島上一片荒涼。眼看著這裡豐富的歷史就要被世人遺忘，一群有心人於2000年開始復興社區運動，讓小島許多動人的故事與文化得以保留了下來。鹽田的修復工作不只獲得聯合國教科文組織的獎項，也讓小島成為香港碩果僅存的產鹽地。
第三階段活動「鹽田梓藝術節2021」於4月17日至7月16日舉行。延續過去兩屆藝術節「天」和「地」的概念，今屆藝術節以「人」為主題，透過多元及不同形式的藝術作品，展現鹽田梓島上「天、地、人」三者和諧共存的一面。
如何前往: 大家可於西貢碼頭乘搭街渡前往鹽田梓, 船程約15分鐘。一般每小時一班船, 船費每人$50(來回)。
