Tai Tam Reservoirs, Group of four reservoirs in Eastern and Southern Districts, Hong Kong.

The Tai Tam Reservoir Group consists of Upper, Byewash, Intermediate, and Tuk reservoirs, storing 9 million cubic meters of water.

The construction of these water storage facilities began in 1872, with the final Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir completed in 1917 at 2.46 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail features twenty-two protected structures, including masonry bridges, dams, and pumping stations from the colonial period.

Multiple hiking paths connect the reservoirs, offering routes of various difficulty levels through Mount Butler, Jardine's Lookout, and Mount Parker areas.

The reservoirs encompass one-fifth of Hong Kong Island's total land area, providing habitat for Chinese Leopard Cats, Hong Kong Newts, and Romer's Tree Frogs.
