Kowloon Group of Reservoirs, group of reservoirs in Kowloon, Hong Kong
Description
Kowloon Group of Reservoirs comprises several interconnected dams and water bodies in Hong Kong's New Territories. The complex holds the region's water supply and spreads across valleys surrounded by forested hillsides and rural land.
History
The reservoirs were built during the mid-20th century to supply drinking water to Hong Kong. The project proved crucial to the city's growth during its expansion as a modern center.
Practical
The reservoirs are ringed by walking trails that wind through the hills and along the water's edge. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water, especially on warm days.
Did you know?
Although primarily serving water supply, the reservoirs have become a refuge for birdwatchers and photographers who often spot rare species here. The waters attract migrant birds seasonally, particularly during spring and autumn migration periods.
