Thousand-island Lake of Hong
Kong
| Thousand-island Lake is actually Tai Lam Chung
Reservoir. Tai Lam Chung Reservoir was the first reservoir
built in Hong Kong after the Second World War. Since the
original site of the reservoir was in the hills and valleys,
as water fills the area, islands of varying sizes emerge, so
it also known as Thousand-island Lake. |
