the time we hike there was a bit foggy but it still a good experience. Tai Tam area is in the south end of Hong Kong Island. At 1,315 hectares (3,250 acres), the park consists of one fifth of Hong Kong Island's land mass.[1] During World War II, the Japanese encountered strong resistance from British defence forces here. So that the park preserves bloody memories from that period.

Hong Kong Hiking at Tai Tam Country Park

It's hiking season again, and before the kids' summer vacation ends, we took them for an 8-kilometer hike at Tai Tam Country Park. Transportation: Start from Sai Ying Pun MTR Station, take the Island Line to the terminal station Chai Wan, find the bus terminal at Exit C, and transfer to bus 16X or 16M to Tai Tam Country Park. Tai Tam Country Park is quite large, covering about one-fifth of Hong Kong Island. There are many hiking trails, and we chose the Tai Tam Reservoir Road - Mount Parker Trail, which is about 8 kilometers long. We walked, played, and had a picnic along the way, taking about two and a half hours. There are 21 declared monuments along the Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail, including dams and ancient stone bridges. The path is mostly flat, with some gentle slopes leading to Tai Fung Au, making it not too strenuous. The scenery along the way is pleasant, with green lake water and shimmering lake surfaces. The cool breeze on the dam is very relaxing. There are no shops or vending machines along the way, so be sure to bring enough water and food before setting off. The cement road from Mount Parker to the hiking trail is easy to walk, mostly downhill. The path is shaded by dense trees and has several viewing platforms. Near the end, you can overlook the urban scenery of Quarry Bay and Taikoo.

Autumn has arrived and it's the best hiking season in Hong Kong. We hiked the Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail last Sunday. We walked along this five-kilometre trail for a look at 21 declared monuments. From bridges to aqueducts, arches to dams, you could get a good look at the engineering and architectural styles dating back over a century. This trail is mostly flat and is covered by trees. You can bring a stroller if you have an infant or small toddler with you. We began our journey from Hong Kong Parkview at 10am. Walked via Tai Tam Reservoir Road to Tai Tam Upper Reservoir and then to Tai Tam Waterworks Heritage Trail. We arrived at Tai Tam Road (End Point) at around 12:30pm. You can take the bus (no 14) back to Grand Promenade from there. The whole journey lasted around 2.5 hours for us and our kids enjoyed the hike very much. #hiking

Tai Tam Reservoir is one of the easiest trails in HK hiking scenes. It is a circular family walk that can be done in an hour. It starts off in Parkview and you do a round and ends back at Parkview. Along the way to the reservoir, you’ll see a bridge that leads into a narrower road that leads to Violet Hill and Twin Peaks which leads to Stanley, but that’s a more challenging hike. There are wild boars along the way but don’t approach them closely or feed them!
