Tin Hau Temple at Yim Liu Ha Tsuen
Hoklo fishermen 鶴佬 from Chiu Yang 潮陽, Jieyang 揭陽 and Shanwei 汕尾 moved to the Sha Tau Kok area and settled in the Yim Liu Ha Village around 1898. The majority of these settlers were worshippers of Tin Hau. It is believed that the Tin Hau Temple in Yim Liu Ha was originally built during the early Qing dynasty. Over time, the temple underwent several renovations, and the villagers relocated to the Sha Tau Kok Estate. The current appearance of the temple is the result of a renovation in 1990. A deity-thanking ceremony is held once every decade here, with celebratory traditions including dragon and lion dances, the Tin Hau parade, basin feasts 盆菜 and the unique Sha Tau Kok on-land dragon boat parade, attracting many villagers who have moved overseas to return to Hong Kong for the celebrations.

Meet’n Meal
O&O Studio, REhyphenation
When nature nurtures every household on Yim Tin Tsai, the Hakka villagers cherish simple yet precious moments gathered around the dining table, enjoying the gifts of nature.
“Meet’n Meal” symbolises this connection among people, nature, and traditional Hakka cuisine, serving as a place for villagers to reunite and engage in casual conversations. Despite the simplicity of Hakka dishes, the villagers of Yim Tin Tsai create flavourful dishes with limited resources.
As the village’s lifestyle evolves, the artwork aims to preserve traditions while showcasing the new generation’s aspirations. It provides a venue for global villagers to come together, reconnect with family, and relish heartwarming moments on the dining table.
Let’s gather around “Meet’n Meal” in Yim Tin Tsai and relish in the joy of coming back home together around the table.

Sanctuary of Salt by Homan Ho Man-chung
“Sanctuary of Salt” is a laboratory that studies salt as a creative medium. It exhibits the forms and records of salt crystals, along with a series of works on the relationship between human and salt as well as nature at large. This year’s work presents three people who are indissoluble with Yim Tin Tsai, from salt workers to scientists, collaborating to explore the possibilities of salt, recording the process and the story, and documenting their common endeavour in search of tales of salt in future.
Excerpt from the plaque:
Twin Pavilions
The “Sheung Chi Ting” (Twin Pavilions) consists of two pavilions, named after their pose: one high, and one low. Located at the highest point of the island, it offers panoramic views of Yim Tin Tsai and is a great place for visitors to relax while enjoying the natural scenery. There are many different plants in the surroundings, such as Baeckea myrtle, which is native plant species to Hong Kong. In the past, villagers of Yim Tin Tsai used it to make brooms.
Not sure if this was something left by one of the original occupants, or by a later visitor, but whichever it was, it felt both poignant and a little creepy.
The village, on an island in the New Territories, was first settled in the Nineteeth century by Hakka people who were later converted to Christianity by missionaries. The community gradually diminished and was completely abandoned 20 or 30 years ago, with the houses left to rot. In recent years it has become something of a tourist attraction.
The saltpans from the Ching 清 Dynasty are revitalized in 2011 under the Yim Tin Tsai Saltpan Revitalization Project. In 2015, the project received the Award of Distinction 卓越獎 from UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation Programme 聯合國教育科學文化組織亞太區文化遺產.

New piece I've been working on to be displayed in a Juice Bar in Brighton town. Still not sure if I'm feeling it. Good or bad comments welcome!

Jade-Girdle Bridge
The “Yuk Dai Kiu” (Jade-Girdle Bridge) was built in the early 1950s. With a dearth of living resources for villagers in Yim Tin Tsai back in the day, they had hoped to explore resources and farming on the adjacent island Kau Sai Chau. They mobolised all manpower and resources to build a bridge connecting the two islands. Since it was mainly the Hakka women doing the farm work on the islands, the Jade-Girdle Bridge not only provides a passageway for the village residents, but also symbolise the characteristics of Hakka women who are tenacious and hardworking. It is the mark of the Hakka women’s dedication to the village and their family, even the scene of Hakka’s women shuffled their way on the bridge is seldom seen every day presently. Over the years, the bridge has undergone repairs by three generations of villagers. Although its appearance has changed, it still links up the memories of three generations of Yim Tin Tsai Village.

Big Sister Hau is in control, and her motor boat is the only means of transportation between the island and the fishing town.
In the past, the villagers made a living by salt-making, fishing and farming. During the late 19th century, the whole island was converted into Catholicism with the arrival of Western missionaries. Nowadays the island is maintained with the help of volunteers from the Church for historical preservation and tourism.

It's a real shame that the exterior of this temple does not light up at night. It would have been a stunning sight if the facade is fully lighted especially at the blue hour. Being a tourist attraction, the authorities should consider highlighting this iconic temple to the delight for all visitors in the evenings...
