- Abstract
This study examines the efforts made by the Yim Tin Tsai Village in Hong Kong's Saigon district to foster the growth of arts and culture. With the support of governmental leadership and the active involvement of indigenous communities, the village aimed to revitalize its cultural landscape and stimulate economic growth by transforming the arts and culture. Yim Tin Tsai, formerly devoid of human habitation, has undergone a significant transformation and is currently recognized as the only salt flat in Hong Kong. The area is commonly referred to as the "backyard of Hong Kong" by locals, serving as a popular destination for recreational activities and visits. The Hong Kong Government has implemented conservation policies to restore the natural ecological environment and promote economic and cultural recovery. The incorporation of art and culture has the capacity to elicit a profound sense of identity and pride among local communities, fostering a stronger connection to their cultural heritage. Simultaneously, this integration possesses the capacity to allure tourists and artists to engage in the production of art and culture actively. The resurgence of art and culture fosters the advancement of cultural media, cultural tourism, cultural education, and related sectors, continually injecting fresh energy into the growth of the rustic. As an innovative factor of production, arts and culture serve as a significant catalyst for enhancing the productive ability of individuals residing in the Yim Tin Tsai region. They also contribute to the transformation of the village industry. The enhancement of individuals' quality of life, including sentiments of acquisition, happiness, and security, is greatly augmented.[1]The growth of economic efficiency within the realm of art and culture serves to react to the transformative effects on art culture. These two entities are mutually influencing each other, resulting in a progressive trajectory towards positive development. This paper aims to examine the efficacy of arts and culture in facilitating the regeneration of villages and to propose relevant recommendations and prospects based on the practical application and case study of village revitalization in Yim Tin Tsai District, Hong Kong.
