Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, reservoir in Hong Kong

Pok Fu Lam Reservoir is an artificial lake in western Hong Kong created to supply fresh water to the city. The water body is framed by wooded hills and remains one of the older water storage facilities in the region.

The reservoir was built in the 1800s and ranks among Hong Kong's earliest water infrastructure projects. Its creation proved essential as the port city expanded and required reliable freshwater supply.

The area is easily accessible by foot with walking paths around the water's edge. The best time to visit is during the cooler months when air clarity improves and pathways are more comfortable to explore.

The reservoir serves as a quiet refuge within densely built Hong Kong, offering visitors a rare break from urban activity. The contrast between the calm water and the bustling city creates a memorable experience.
