The workshops event starts with a guided tour of the 400-year-old coastal village of Shui Hau. During the tour you will discover stories about the village's traditional architecture, rituals, worshipping and ecology. Situated by the mountains, Shui Hau boasts a rich traditional culture where agricultural activity has played an important role for the villagers' livelihoods.
Demonstration of Traditional Clam Harvesting
The participants will use the unique tool "chi hau lim" ( 翅口鐮 ) traditionally used by Shui Hau villagers and learn how to look for clams using a sustainable method. Chi hau lim is a hook connected to a long shaft, which makes the harvest gentle on the marine biodiversity as it leaves little trace in the sand. Traditionally, Shui Hau villagers would go clam harvesting around the 1st and 15th day of the Lunar Month. Join us to rediscover the sustainable clam harvesting method!
The workshop is a part of "Regenerating Shui Hau", a project by The School of Architecture, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, funded by Lantau Conservation Fund.
