| Lau Shui Heung Reservoir is also
called the mirror of the sky. The surrounding trees and the
sky are reflected in the water, so beautifully. |
| The beauty of this mirror of the
sky , deserves to be called Hong Kong Little Guilin, with
beautiful mountains and clear waters. |
| Go straight up the stairs next to
the reservoir to return to the main road. |
| When you come here, you can see the
two entrances of the Lau Shui Heung Country Trail. We choose
to enter from the entrance directly in front (not the
entrance to the mountain) to e njoy the red leaves. |
| After entering the country trail,
you can see a row of pine trees in the distance, officially
the destination we are going to. |
| The barbecue site next to the
country trail is temporarily closed due to the epidemic. If
you grill here, it must feel very special. |
| Flowing Water Bridge , this name is
quite poetic. |
| The front row is planted with
Melaleuca, and the back row is pine. |

enjoy the red leaves, many people still come to take

enjoying the red leaves, return to the minibus station on
the same route. |

the mirror of the sky. |

walk with your partner. |

the highest point of the mountain from the starting point of
the country trail. |

see a mirror in the mountains, that is the "Hok Tau
Reservoir". |

close to the "Hok Tau Reservoir". |
