西貢鹽田梓村 地處牛尾海滘西洲北面，百多年前是海鹽產地，今天鹽田荒廢多時，村內只剩一兩戶人家，隨著鹽田梓村落實復修工程，港人將可在今年九月重訪傳統的鹽田，一嚐赤腳製鹽的儉樸生活。         鹽田梓村於百多年前以傳統方法製鹽，盛極一時，惜這傳統工業早已式微，但在各方努力下，復修鹽田梓村的首期計劃正式落實，耗資約五百萬元，面積約三萬平方呎，佔整個活化工程面積的三分一，料今年九月竣工。         鹽田梓村村務委員表示，復修工作完成後，會交由鹽光保育中心負責營運。該中心主席陳子良指，將復修八個鹽池；而製鹽過程需時二十多天，為令日後來訪市民感受各個製鹽程序，每個鹽池會代表不同製鹽階段，務求令到市民體驗整個製鹽的過程。陳子良表示，日後製鹽活動將會收費，但目前未有確實定案。         九月竣工 每日接待300人         鹽田梓村務委員會指，盼隨鹽田修復，令市民進一步認識該村；但委員會擔心，鹽田荒廢多年，土質或已改變，未必能可再次產鹽，會就此先作研究。首期工程料九月完工，每日可接待最多三百名遊客。昨天的復修動土禮，由政務司司長林鄭月娥、天主教香港教區副主教陳志明等主持。         位於西貢內海的鹽田梓村，風景怡人，每逢假日吸引不少港人乘船登村遊覽。鹽田梓村之名由來，源於村民利用土地產鹽；他們主要運用水流，潮漲時海水經水閘入內，多餘水份靠另一水閘排流，經過日曬，產生大量海鹽。一座建於十九世紀的聖若瑟堂，是該村標記之一。 Restoration of Yim Tin Tsai Village Yim Tin Tsai is a Hakka village, located in the north of Kau Sai Chau in the Port Shelter, Sai Kung.
