Tai Lam Chung Reservoir hike
How to get here
The easiest way to get here is by taking the metro to the Cheung Sha Wan station. From there you can switch to a bus to the Tuen Mun Road Interchange. From there it is around a 15 minute walk to the starting point of the hike.
What to do
You do a hike at the reservoir, which is also known as the “Thousand Islands Lake “. You can decide for yourself how long you want to walk. There is the option to walk around the whole reservoir, or you can do a smaller loop.
We decided to walk a smaller loop to the Reservoir Islands Viewpoint, and backtrack from there to the starting point. For this loop we walked around 13 kilometers with 430 meters elevation.
Weather and clothing
Bring good shoes if you are planning on walking a long time. Also bring sunscreen and enough water.
