Yim Tin Tsai Arts Festival commenced in 2019 and was a three-year pilot arts cum cultural, historical and green tourism project organised at Yim Tin Tsai, Sai Kung by the Tourism Commission through collaboration amongst artists, youngsters and Yim Tin Tsai villagers.
In view that the three-year pilot project was well received by visitors, the Tourism Commission has rolled out between 2022 and 2024 the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival as the second phase of the Yim Tin Tsai Arts Festival. The coverage of the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival has been gradually expanded from Yim Tin Tsai to Sharp Island, Kau Sai Chau, and High Island.
The first year of the Arts Festival was held on Yim Tin Tsai and Sharp Island and the second year of the Arts Festival was organised on Yim Tin Tsai, Sharp Island, Kau Sai Chau and High Island. For the third year of the Arts Festival, it was held on the above four islands from 13 November 2024 to 12 January 2025.
Other than displaying artworks, guided tours and public programmes of various themes were offered to visitors free of charge during the Arts Festival. Most of the artworks are retained for visitors’ enjoyment after the Arts Festival.
