Everything is in order – from the light and darkness, the blossoming and wilting, the gathering and scattering of people, to the changing of the seasons. All of these are ordered in everyone’s life. In this Festival, six artists have responded to the theme of “Sequencing” with their artworks, bringing the audience to connect with nature, cherish the relationship with others, find the true meaning of religion, and review and reacquaint themselves through the joy of reunion.

This year, three groups of artists have responded to the shocking power of nature by creating artworks at Sharp Island. Through the appreciation of the artworks, the audience will learn about the ebb and flow of tides and the unique ecological features of Sharp Island, such as the tombolo and the pineapple rocks, which were formed more than 140 million years ago.

A bridge away from Yim Tin Tsai, Kau Sai Chau, an almost uninhabited island of 6.5 square kilometres which is now known for its public golf course, was also home to hundreds of fishermen and some Hakka people in a small village – Kau Sai Village. The tranquility offered by the abundance of bays and inner ports has made Kau Sai Chau an ideal and popular anchorage for fishermen.
In 2023 and 2024, Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival will extend the joyful art journey to Kau Sai Chau and High Island. Please stay tuned!
Today, the “island” of 8.511 square kilometres at the south of the High Island Reservoir – High Island could be accessed by land and sea. Prior to the construction of the dams of the Reservoir, High Island used to be the largest and the fourth largest island of Sai Kung Port and Hong Kong respectively. The Chinese name of High Island translates literally to “the bay of a food-carrying vessel”. Legend has it that High Island used to be a pit stop for replenishment; another saying suggests the existence of a food-carrying vessel-making factory on the Island during the Qing dynasty.
