After a 20-minute boat ride from Sai Kung New Public Pier, the island comes into view. Unlike other tourist attractions in Hong Kong, this island is the only place that combines Hakka culture, Catholic religion, and beautiful natural environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1670, a Hakka couple surnamed Chan moved to Hong Kong from the area of present-day Shenzhen. They accidentally discovered this small island and settled there. The island is low-lying so seawater can be retained on the island during high tide and dried in the sun, making it perfect for salt production. The salt is not only used by the villagers themselves, but also sold to Sai Kung and other nearby areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1rrbthFiH9Tddfl8F5glL7k5BbcxIvK8&#038;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1841, European missionaries came to Yim Tin Tsai to preach. By 1875, all residents of Yim Tin Tsai had received baptism and converted to Catholicism, so the village became known as the \u201cCatholic Village\u201d. Later, St. Joseph\u2019s Chapel was built in 1890, which now stands as the island\u2019s most renowned landmark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Hong Kong Tourism Board, over the past century, the salt pans on Yim Tin Tsai had gradually become deserted. By the 1920s, no salt pans were left there. The main reason is that the salt produced here cannot compete with cheaper products from the Chinese mainland and Vietnam. Although there were still about 1,000 people living on the island in the 1940s, the population dropped significantly in the following decades as villagers moved away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<iframe src='https:\/\/cdn.knightlab.com\/libs\/timeline3\/latest\/embed\/index.html?source=v2:2PACX-1vRjGfPa_sRqbm3R1QoU6zecKzBKxUdCLkZaq6V26mqXAfpwfKPAE9rtYrkCkDMagujrWmlDOA9t1Tf5&#038;font=Default&#038;lang=en&#038;initial_zoom=2&#038;height=650' width='100%' height='650' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen frameborder='0'><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAround 1997, the last family on the island moved away\u201d, said Chan Chung-yin, the head of Yim Tin Tsai Village, also the eighth generation of the Chan family. \u201cIn 1998, I was elected as the village chief and the idea of reviving the village started to emerge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chan and his nephew started with the township teahouse in 2008 and used it as a base to revitalize the village.

According to Chan, to maintain the island&#8217;s daily operations, fees are charged for services like boat trips, group arrangements, and tour guide services. He said, &#8220;The government doesn&#8217;t provide any funding, so it&#8217;s entirely reliant on our center. We hope to break even, but at the moment, it&#8217;s still losing money every month.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/jmsc6110a.com\/2025b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/\u4e49\u5de5\u5de5\u4f5c\u65e5\u7a0b2.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;\u4e49\u5de5\u5de5\u4f5c\u65e5\u7a0b2&#8243; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;zoom&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;1300ms&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; src__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; src__hover=&#8221;https:\/\/jmsc6110a.com\/2025b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/\u4e49\u5de5\u5de5\u4f5c\u65e5\u7a0b2.png&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#1C1C1C&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-25px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily records of staff making salt in Yim Tin Tsai (Source: Lanqing Mao)<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its establishment, the core team of the conservation center has never exceeded 10 people. In Chan&#8217;s words, there are currently only six, so a large part of the work relies on recruiting and training volunteers. They have held three phases of volunteer recruitment, with the number gradually decreasing from 90 to 60, and then to 25. The fourth phase has not been launched due to a lack of resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Windy said, &#8220;Now there are only about 30 volunteers who are relatively stable, but they\u2019re not always available every day.&#8221; <span> Also, most of the volunteers are older, and Chan feels helpless about this.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8220;I would definitely hope for more younger people to come in and help us, as they bring fresh ideas.
