Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yim Tin Tsai is a small offshore island in Sai Kung, Hong Kong. There is no permanent population on the island. The island was settled by members of the Hakka Chan clan during the 19th century (other sources mention 300 years ago). The Chans came from Yim Tin, now part of the Yantian District of Shenzhen. The new settlement was called Yim Tin Tsai in its memory. Other members of the clan settled in Yim Tin Tsai in Tai Po and Ping Yeung, in Ta Kwu Ling, North District. At its peak, Yim Tin Tsai had 500 inhabitants (other sources mention 1, 200). Villagers lived on farming, fishing and salt-making. They farmed 6 acres of salt field, the smallest of the five salt fields in Hong Kong at the time. Other salt fields were in Tai O, Lantau Island, San Hui and Wong Ka Wai in Tuen Mun, Yim Liu Ha in Sha Tau Kok and Yim Tin Tsai in Tai Po.
