Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail, Heritage trail in Southern District, Hong Kong
The Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail stretches 5 kilometers through the country park, featuring 22 preserved waterworks structures near the reservoir group.
Built between 1883 and 1888, the Tai Tam Reservoir became the second major water infrastructure on Hong Kong Island, constructed by the British administration for 1,250,000 dollars.
The trail presents 41 pre-World War II waterworks monuments, including dams, valve houses, and bridges that reflect Hong Kong's water management development.
Ten information stations along the path provide details about each structure, with the walking route starting near Hong Kong Parkview and ending at Tai Tam Bay.
The Tai Tam Tuk Raw Water Pumping Station from 1907 displays red brick walls and Chinese tiled roofs, combining Eastern and Western architectural elements.
