Tai Lam Country Park, Country park in New Territories, Hong Kong.
Tai Lam Country Park is a large protected area in the New Territories spread across three districts. It features wooded slopes, numerous walking trails at varying difficulty levels, and a reservoir with scattered islands across the water.
The park was established in 1979 to protect land that had been illegally occupied before formal conservation efforts began. This conversion marked one of Hong Kong's early steps toward preserving natural spaces.
Traditional villages around the park show how people have lived here for generations, with local farming communities still shaping the landscape. Walking through these areas reveals how communities and nature coexist in the New Territories.
The park is accessible on foot from surrounding towns, with entry points scattered around the perimeter. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as some trails are steep and offer limited shade in exposed areas.
The reservoir here is sometimes called "Thousand Island Lake" because of the countless small islands rising from the water. This scenic view has become a popular spot for visitors seeking landscape photography.
