Reservoir Island view in Hong Kong
Reservoir Island is located in the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir in the northwest of the New Territories. Because there are dozens of small islands in the pond, with different shapes and sizes, it is called the Hong Kong version of "Thousand Island Lake".
Since the road is smooth and easy to travel and the scenery is beautiful, many families will go to the reservoir Terrace of lake during the holidays to see the whole picture of lake. Whether you choose Tuen Mun or Yuen Long, the entrances on both sides are all along the concrete road, which is an easy route.

Tai Lam Country Park | MacLehose Trail Section 10, Thousand Island Lake, Qingjing Terrace
🔍 Search for "Tai Tong Shan Road" bus stop. We took K66 from Long Ping. After getting off the bus, walk back to the first intersection and turn right. Walk up the slope along this road, and you will see "Tai Lam Country Park" and a road sign. You can choose from three routes: 1. Tai Lam Country Park 2. Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail 3. Tai Lam Nature Trail + MacLehose Trail Section 10. I chose the third one.
⚠️ Notes
1⃣️ After the Nature Trail is the Sweet Gum Woods. You can refill your water bottle and use the toilet before the trail starts. There are many barbecue sites, and there is a store at the start. There are also some simple public toilets along the way. The maple leaves have turned a little red.
2⃣️ It is recommended to check the weather of each trail on the Hong Kong Observatory before setting off. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. If you are prone to mosquito bites, remember to bring mosquito repellent. Bring some filling food and enough water.
3⃣️ There are road signs all the way. You will pass by the Thousand Island Lake Qingjing Terrace. Climb up and enjoy the great view. As long as it is not too foggy, everything will be fine.
4⃣️ The first half of MacLehose Trail Section 10 has uphill and downhill paths, while the second half is flat. There are some fitness facilities along the way. The sunset is great. If you are too tired to walk, you can go directly to Golden Beach to watch the sunset.
4⃣️ The exit of MacLehose Trail is in Tuen Mun. You can have dinner here before going home. We walked 17 km today, which is enough exercise.
