With the rapid development of society, natural resources are gradually decreasing. People seem to forget about the close connection between nature and human life. It is important to remember that nature not only gives us challenges, but also brings us numerous opportunities.
To this day, Yim Tin Tsai preserves traces of the coexistence between villagers and the natural environment. Let us take a walk in Yim Tin Tsai together. Explore the attractions that exhibit the close relationship between villagers and nature in the past, and experience this ancient but flexible folk wisdom.
The guided tours of Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival are organised by the curator and “Kaifong Tour” together. Various parties including The Salt & Light Preservation Centre, Hong Kong Architecture Centre and Hong Kong Geopark, also provided assistance during the process of route design.
The guided tours will cover four different themes, to provide a more comprehensive experience for the visitors to explore Yim Tin Tsai and Sharp Island. The tours will focus on interactions and experiences, with an objective to encourage the participants to further explore the fascinating cultures and histories of the isles upon completion of the tours.
Founded in 2016, Kaifong Tour is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting meaningful connections and engagement in Hong Kong’s local communities. It designs and organises tours, which takes place at the heart of communities as “the scene of action”. Through community building, education, sustainable tourism and other community projects, Kaifong Tour aims to create a people-oriented and sustainable environment for our communities to develop.
