Tai Lam Chung Reservoir

The reservoir encompasses multiple small islands formed from submerged hills and maintains a storage capacity of 21 million cubic meters of water.

Construction of this first post-World War II reservoir in Hong Kong began in 1952 and required the relocation of four villages to Tai Uk Wai.

The reservoir and surrounding Tai Lam Country Park attract visitors who engage in outdoor activities while learning about water resource management.

The facility operates as part of Hong Kong's water supply infrastructure, receiving water imports from Dongjiang in China since the late 1960s.

During periods of low water levels, visitors can observe the remains of submerged villages that were relocated during the reservoir's construction.
