Hong Kong's Top Ten Scenic Spots: The Hong Kong Version of Thousand Island Lake

👀 Attraction Name: Thousand Island Lake Scenic Platform 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: The Thousand Island Lake Scenic Platform is the perfect spot to capture the stunning panoramic view of Tai Lam Chung Reservoir. 💞 Recommended Reason: Tai Lam Chung Reservoir is the largest reservoir in the northwest New Territories and the first reservoir built after the war. Within the reservoir, there are dozens of small hill islands and four large dams, earning it the nickname "Hong Kong's Thousand Island Lake." During the rainy spring and summer seasons, the reservoir overflows, revealing the islands and creating breathtaking scenery. 🗓️ Itinerary: There are two main routes: 💖 Route 1: Start from Yuen Long Tai Tong. Take Exit B at Long Ping MTR Station and connect to bus K66 or the Maple Bus to Tai Tong Lychee Garden. From there, hike up via Barbecue Site No. 6 in the Country Park. Alternatively, take the red minibus from Yuen Long Hung Min Wai to Wong Nai Tun Village, then walk for 10 minutes to Yeung Ka Tsuen to start the hike. 💖 Route 2: Take Exit D at Tuen Mun West Rail Station. Board minibus 43 to Tuen Mun So Kwun Wat Terminus. The hike takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. 📷 Photography Spots: To capture the beauty of Thousand Island Lake, it's best to climb to a higher vantage point. However, even from different angles, you can still take stunning photos. While photographing, you might also find a spot to sit down and quietly enjoy the picturesque scenery. 👍 Tips: There are many nearby attractions. If you can start your trip early, you might catch the red leaves during their blooming season at the nearby Maple Forest. On the other side, you can also walk to Golden Beach to watch the sunset.
