The only century-old water distribution reservoir remaining in Hong Kong.

Address: Bishop Hill, Shek Kip Mei Average cost per person: Free Itinerary: Reservation for guided tours can be made on the Water Supplies Department website Recommended reason: Grade I historic building Before 2021, the Sham Shui Po water distribution reservoir was confirmed as a Grade I historic building, and it is now open to the public on a limited basis. During the initial opening period, reservations were often full, and I finally managed to book a spot recently. The guided tours are government-funded and free of charge, with groups of about thirty to forty people led by several guides. Visitors climb over three hundred stone steps to reach the reservoir, which has a history of over a hundred years. The entire building was constructed before the war, featuring a grand Roman-style architecture with over a hundred granite columns, presenting a magnificent scene. The guides provide a very detailed explanation of the history, and the whole tour lasts about an hour. At the end, there is even a small gift given away, making it a very worthwhile visit.
