High Island Reservoir
Provided by http://visithkplace.blogspot.com/During autumn, it is good time for hiking as the weather is very nice. Today, my friends and I go to the High Island Reservoir, located in the Sai Kung Country Park. We meet in Diamond Hill MTR station around 9:00am. Then, we took 96R bus (only provide service on weekend & public holiday) in the bus terminal to Pak Tam Chung.
Around 10:00am, we arrive the entrance of Pak Tam Chung Country Park. Then, we walk along Pak Tam Road for a few minutes, turn right, pass a bridge and go to Sheung Yiu Folk Museum. We make a brief stop at the Sheung Yiu Folk Museum - a typical late 19th century Hakka Village. This small museum allows us a glimpse into how people used to live in Hong Kong’s New Territories.
Then, we went back to Pak Tam Road and start our hiking towards High Island Reservoir. It was quite easy for this trial as we walk in a well-paved road. However, the scene was pretty beautiful. We can see great views over many islands off Sai Kung. After walk for 3 hours, we reach the east main cofferdam of High Island Reservoir protected

The surrounding of east main dam and Po Pin Chau by the queer looking hexagonal tuff is also a grandeur.
We had brought our lunch box and enjoy it in the main dam. I had quite a good feel of refreshment surrounding by such lovely natural environment.
