Kowloon Reservoir — Attraction in Hong Kong

This is a cluster of four small reservoirs found in the southern section of the Kam Shan Country Park north of the Kowloon Peninsula. Collectively they have a capacity of 2.9 million cubic metres of fresh water. You can visit the reservoirs and their respective dam structures while hiking and sightseeing in the country park.

Historically, the Kowloon Reservoir was constructed in 1910, making it the fourth man made lake in Hong Kong and the first in the New Territories. The Shek Lei Pui Reservoir was completed in 1925, followed by the Kowloon Reception Reservoir (1926) and Kowloon Byewash Reservoir (1931).

Interestingly, there are 5 historic structures at the Kowloon Reservoir that are Declared Monument buildings in Hong Kong. These include the Main Dam, Main Dam Valve House, Spillway Dam, Spillway Dam Recorder House and the Recorder House all of which were completed in 1910 and designated as declared monuments in Hong Kong in 2009.
