The “Yuk Dai Kiu” (Jade-Girdle Bridge) was built in the early 1950s. With a dearth of living resources for villagers in Yim Tin Tsai back in the day, they had hoped to explore resources and farming on the adjacent island Kau Sai Chau. They mobilised all manpower and resources to build a bridge connecting the two islands. Since it was mainly the Hakka women doing the farm work on the islands, the Jade-Girdle Bridge not only provides a passageway for the village residents, but also symbolise the characteristics of Hakka women who are tenacious and hardworking. It is the mark of the Hakka women’s dedication to the village and their family, even the scene of Hakka’s women shuffled their way on the bridge is seldom seen every day presently. Over the years, the bridge has undergone repairs by three generations of villagers. Although its appearance has changed, it still links up the memories of three generations of Yim Tin Tsai Village.
