The Reservoir Islands Viewpoint boasts breathtaking vistas across Tai Lam Chung Reservoir and the ‘thousands’ of islands dotting its surface. A 200-metre climb will bring you to a rocky outcrop, which offers a wonderful panorama of the reservoir as its shimmering surface changes in shades that match the mood of the sky above. You can stop to rest and enjoy the view from seats located along the trail and at the viewpoint. The islands below were the peaks of hills in what were once open valleys before the area was flooded to create the reservoir. If there’s been recent rainfall, you can see waterfalls from the runoffs in the lush, green hills to the left. Look right to gaze out over Tuen Mun towards Lantau Island, and further on to spot the airport on the island of Chek Lap Kok.
