After the first edition of the festival wrapped in 2021, some of the artworks from it were selected to remain permanently installed on Yim Tin Tsai.
Building on the successes of this pilot project, another three-year Tourism Commission-run festival, supported by the Hong Kong Geopark, was launched in 2022. Called the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival, the event is aimed at inspiring visitors to explore "the unique culture, ecological treasures and heritage of the islands within the Sai Kung district", per its website.
