Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival is a three-year arts project organised by Tourism Commission, supported by Hong Kong Geopark and curated by One Bite Design Studio. In the second year, the Festival extended from Yim Tin Tsai and Sharp Island to Kau Sai Chau and High Island. Through art, the Festival allows visitors an opportunity to appreciate the rich natural resources and the long and deep history as well as culture of the four isles and turn Sai Kung Hoi into an open museum.
