Sham Shui Po Fresh Water Break Pressure Tank, Service reservoir in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong.

The circular water tank features 100 stone columns and brick arches, with 22 columns inside the tank and 78 visible from the exterior.

Built in 1904, this Grade I historic structure became the second oldest water reservoir on the Kowloon Peninsula after the Jordan Road Service Reservoir.

The architectural design of the reservoir shares similarities with the underground cisterns of Istanbul, reflecting colonial engineering influences in Hong Kong.

The Water Supplies Department offers guided tours on weekends from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, requiring advance registration and a minimum age of 8 years.

The reservoir contains internal stone pillars and red brick archways supporting the tank ceiling, demonstrating early 20th-century construction techniques.
