Reservoir -> Kowloon Reservoir -> Tai Po Road
The whole journey takesabout 2
hours. |
| Getting off the bus, you can
see a statue of a monkey. There is a chance to meet wild
monkeys on this route. Remember to put food and water in
your backpack to avoid snatching by monkeys. The monkeys
here are not afraid of people and need to be careful. |
| Go down along Cheung Yuen Road. |
| Walk along the left and the picnic
area on the right. |
| Soon we reach the "Kowloon
Byewash Reservoir". In winter, there is less rain and there
seems to be not much water in the reservoir. |
| The "Kowloon Byewash Reservoir" was
constructed in 1929 and completed in 1931. |
| After passing the "Kowloon Byewash
Reservoir", follow the small road on the right. |
| You can see the start and end
points of the "Kowloon Reception Reservoir" jogging track.
You can walk on both sides, and you will reach the branch
road to the "Shek Lei Pui Reservoir" faster when you walk on
the starting point, but this time I choose to start from the
end point. |

jogging track end point. |
| "Kowloon Reception Reservoir" |
| "Kowloon Reception Reservoir" was
completed in 1926. |
| Next, we need to walk a
forest path. Fortunately, there is less rain at this time.
If it is rainy season, the road will be muddy. |
| After seeing
the signs, go up the steps to the "Shek Lei Pui Reservoir". |
| Look into the direction of "Kwai
Chung". |
| The monkey sits on the side of the
road, and as long as it sees food, it will snatch it. |
| When walking along the "Shek
Lei Pui Reservoir", you will find that some roads can walk
directly to the side of the reservoir. |
| Get close to the reservoir. |
| I don't know where this duck came
from. |
| Continue to follow the path
to "Golden Hill Road ", which leads directly to "Kowloon
Reservoir". |
| On the "Golden Hill Road" picnic
location, the two monkey statues fully reflect the situation
here. |
| "Kowloon Reservoir" was completed
in 1910. |
After passing the main dam of
"Kowloon Reservoir", continue along " Golden Hill Road " to
"Tai Po Road" and
take the bus back. |
