Aberdeen Reservoirs, Reservoir in Aberdeen, Hong Kong Island, China

Aberdeen Reservoirs are water storage structures on Hong Kong Island, consisting of an upper and lower reservoir surrounded by dense forest. The site features walking trails, a dam crossing, a valve house with castle-style architecture, and a European-style stone bridge.

The Lower Aberdeen Reservoir began in 1890 as a private reservoir of the Tai Shing Paper Factory, which also supplied water to nearby residents. In the 1920s the government bought it for HK$460,000, expanded it to 486,000 cubic metres and built the Upper Reservoir above it, holding 773,000 cubic metres. Governor William Peel opened the combined works on 15 December 1931, the last reservoir group built on Hong Kong Island.

The reservoirs take their name from Aberdeen, the district they supply. The surrounding area became Aberdeen Country Park in 1977, one of Hong Kong's first country parks. Four waterworks structures here were declared monuments in 2009, including the upper reservoir's dam, valve house and bridge, and the lower reservoir's dam.

The walk from the bus stop is steep but takes about five minutes, with the full trail lasting around two hours. Broad shaded paths, toilets, a refreshment kiosk, and a barbecue area are available throughout the park.

The park is home to wild boars that pose no danger if you keep your distance, with signage reminding visitors to avoid feeding them. This offers an opportunity to observe local wildlife in their natural habitat.
