Hong Kong version of Istanbul Basilica Cistern 🕌~ Bishop Hill Water Reservoir 💧

Today, I want to introduce you to a first-class historical building that is very popular in recent years🕌, and it is also one of the most beautiful places to take pictures🥰. It is the Bishop's Hill Water Supply Reservoir located in Sham Shui Po, known as the Hong Kong version of Istanbul Underwater Palace🤗 Bishop Hill Water Supply Reservoir due to an accident in 2020, the Heritage Office mistakenly thought it was just an ordinary water tank and demolished 🚧, but unfortunately destroyed part of the top of the reservoir during the demolition process to make this characteristic historical building see the light of day🙈 Since the discovery of Bishop Hill Water Supply Reservoir, the government has been sealing off the water The reservoir is not close to the public, if you want to see the beauty of this historical building, you can only participate in the tour organized by the Water Department🙈, but the tour tickets are really hard to get😟, and I was lucky to grab two tickets in early May🤩, today we will take you to visit the Bishop's Hill Water Supply Reservoir🤗 What's special about the Bishop Hill Water Supply Reservoir tour? 1. Hong Kong version of Istanbul Underwater Palace🕌 (I believe many people are here to see this Roman-style round arch ceiling😁, red brick round arch ceiling plus granite stone columns, really comparable to Istanbul underground water palace in Turkey😍, and has more than 100 years of history ga la😆, here to play a beautiful card can really cheat abroad😜 2. Touch the reservoir components 🔧 (because some of the ceiling of the reservoir was destroyed during the demolition, so some of the ceiling components are also laid out for you to enjoy up close, just like the red brick arch coupon part in the photo, you can also reach out ✋ touch it ga😆) 3. Water Department staff explain in detail💁‍♂️ (Each group will have two Water Department staff explain in detail the history of the reservoir, the principle of operation, the structure of the building, etc. The explainer will also bring some teaching gadgets 📐 so that we can easily understand the operating principle of the reservoir😂 4. The aqueduct is a photo spot😆 (Don't ignore the sewer in the reservoir and the sewer cover on the reservoir when taking pictures 🤣, because it is a place worth taking pictures of ga😄, the sewer/drain cover is engraved with the year of manufacture and the words British, and it is also the only passage into the reservoir for previous workers) 5. After visiting the reservoir, there will be a lecture explaining the history of the Bishop Hill Water Supply Reservoir 6. A beautiful souvenir 🎁 (Don't leave so quickly after listening to the lecture, because after completing the questionnaire 📃 you can also get a beautiful reservoir pattern file prepared by the Water Department 🤗, and there are also some leaflets for you to review the knowledge we talked about today's tour, very meaningful 👏) 小贴士: 1/6 Wednesday at 9 o'clock Water Department opened a new round of tours in July for you to register, interested friends remember to register on time 1/6 to the Water Department official website, then give you some tips, if you want to increase the chance of winning 🎁, remember to computer 🖥️ open more A few browsers and ask the same friends to get the ID 🪪 number for easy entry, even if the first 10 minutes can not report do not be discouraged 😉, because the server can not load so many people apply at the same time, some applicants will put back a vacancy out ga😃 Want to know more good things to do in Hong Kong? Remember to like 👍 + follow us 😁, with your support we will have the motivation to continue to discover the special places of Hong Kong for you 😚🥰 #Bishop's Hill Water Supply Reservoir #Bishop's Hill #Sham Shui Po #Wo Tsai Hill #Water Reservoir #Kowloon Reservoir #Water Department #Historic Building #Grade 1 Historic Building #Roman Style Architecture #Granite #Stone Column #Tour #Turkey #Istanbul #Underground Palace #Photo
