Ah Cai, Our Watch (door) Dog, in a Sunday afternoon conundrum. Ah Cai is not allowed in the house, and a big black bumble bee just snuck past him into the door. The question in his mind is: to-be or not-to-be? Is it better to be a bad-watch-dog and do nothing, knowing a bee is in the house; or be a bad-dog and go into the house to chase the bumble bee out? What would you do ? -- on a Sunday afternoon.

Sam Nga Hau Beach -- Yan Tian Zai island was settled by members of the Hakka Chan (陳) clan during the 19th. The Chans came from Yan Tian (鹽田 ), now part of the Yantian District of Shenzhen. The new settlement was called Yan Tian Zai in its memory. At its peak, Yan Tian Zai had 500 inhabitants. Villagers lived on farming, fishing and salt-making. They farmed 6 acres of salt field. Baptism of the island's residents started in 1866, and by 1875, all villagers on the island were baptized. In 1879 the chapel was set up by Joseph Freinademetz (who was canonized in 2003). Ching Po School, the village school closed down in the 1990s due to a lack of students. Now only one family lives on Yan Tian Zai in a beautifully renovated village house along with their talking birds.

St. Joseph’s Chapel was built in 1890.
