点评:We went particularly for the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival, but took the kaito (ferry) ride to Sharp Island or Kiu Tsui Chau and Yim Tin Tsai, and did some hiking on both islands.
We found this Frenchy Cafe in Sai Kung Town, and tried their pasties, and they are totally out of this world. You can buy some to eat them as snacks en-route, and make sure you buy some more before leaving Sai Kung.
We bought tickets to go to Sharp Island and Yim Tin Tsai on a kaito (ferry) to see the arts festival from a very friendly volunteer (?).
The first stop was to Sharp Island, and the most important thing to see was the tombolo. On low tide, this land strip connects Sharp Island to Kiu tau, and you can walk over there in about 15 minutes. Just watch your steps because there are lots of stones and boulders to avoid trip and fall. The view of this strip is beautiful. You can climb up a hill on Kiu Tau to go to the other side. I had to return before I got to the top to catch the other kaito to Yim Tin Tsai. It is just too bad.
The most important thing to visit I believe on Yim Tin Tsai is St. Joseph's Chapel, a Catholic Church beautifully renovated. The salt pans are quite interesting too, and make sure you stop and learn some history of salt making.
There is a trail that you can hike while on Yim Tin Tsai, and there are some nice viewpoints, and the trail should take about 45 minutes to complete.
I also like the art displays along the trails on both islands. In my opinion, they are quite whimsical and nice, with explanations to tell the stories of the pieces on display.
Too bad the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival had just completed their 3-year run, and they don't know if the funding will be extended for future years.
The only neglect is that there are too many things to see, and there is simply not enough time, I think, to do all the islands (Kau Sai Chau and High Island, in addition to Sharp Island and Yim Tin Tsai) on the same day.
After a day of sightseeing, you may also consider staying for the seafood dinner on its seafood street in Sai Kung Town.
翻译:我们特意去参加西贡海艺术节,但乘街渡(渡轮)前往桥咀洲或桥咀洲和盐田仔,并在两个岛上徒步旅行。
我们在西贡镇找到了这家法式咖啡馆,品尝了他们的馅饼,味道好极了。您可以买一些作为途中的零食吃,离开西贡之前一定要再买一些。
我们从一位非常友好的志愿者那里买了乘街渡(渡轮)前往桥咀洲和盐田仔观看艺术节的票。
第一站是桥咀洲,最重要的是要看连岛沙洲。退潮时,这片陆地将桥咀洲与桥头连接起来,步行约 15 分钟即可到达。小心脚下,因为那里有很多石头和巨石,以免绊倒。这一带的景色很美。你可以爬上桥头的一座小山去另一边。我还没到山顶就不得不折返,赶上另一趟去盐田仔的街渡。这真是太遗憾了。
我认为盐田仔最值得参观的地方是圣约瑟夫教堂,这是一座经过精心修缮的天主教堂。盐田也很有趣,一定要停下来了解一下制盐的历史。
盐田仔有一条可以徒步的小径,那里有一些不错的观景点,走完这条小径大约需要 45 分钟。
我也喜欢两个岛上小径上的艺术展览。在我看来,它们非常奇特和精美,还有解说来讲述展出作品的故事。
可惜西贡海艺术节刚刚结束了为期 3 年的展览,他们不知道未来几年是否会继续提供资金。
唯一不足的是要看的东西太多了,我觉得一天的时间根本不够游遍所有岛屿(滘西洲和粮船洲,以及桥咀洲和盐田仔)。
游览了一天后,您也可以考虑在西贡镇的海鲜街上享用海鲜晚餐。
