First, you pass the Shing Mun Reservoir, then visit the Shing Mun Fort, then go up to the 369m Jinshan, then go down the mountain and pass the Shek Lei Pui Reservoir and Kowloon Reservoir. If you want to take a closer look at the City Gate Reservoir, it is recommended that you return directly after visiting the City Gate Fort, so that the entire trip will not be so complicated. 💥Before the outbreak of World War II, the British Army built many fortifications in Hong Kong, some of which are located in country parks and are still well preserved. The Shing Mun Battlefield Trail was an important stronghold in the Drunken Bay defense line during the Battle of Hong Kong. It was called the "Shing Mun Bastion" and many wartime relics are still preserved. ☮️When I walked into the tunnel, I was shocked because I could see that the military battlefield at that time was still so well preserved, and people could enter and exit freely for visits. The area of ​​the trenches here was not large, and the British army surrendered to Japan in about six hours. Seeing these real scenes reminded me of movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Fury". I haven't experienced war yet, but I know it is very cruel. In the new year, I wish the world peace and everyone safety.

actually. . Every time I go to the same place at different times⌚️, different seasons🍂☀️❄️🌈, different moods😁😔🤢, and with different people traveling with me🙍‍♂️🙍‍♀️👵🧓👴, I also have different memories. Just like recently due to a construction project 🏗, the water 💦 in the pond needs to be temporarily drained, and because of the lack of rain recently 🌧 the water 💦 in the pond is only about 2%, which has caused cracks. Because you rarely have the opportunity to see this kind of scenery, so come here to take photos as a souvenir like me. But everyone should be aware that if you step on the cracks 👟, there is a risk of slipping 🦵 and falling, so please be more careful when walking here ❣️.

I have heard of the fame of Shing Mun Reservoir for a long time, so I took some time to go and take a look, and it really lived up to its reputation. The blue-green pond is as quiet as a gem inlaid on the earth, and the winding waterside looks graceful. It is very pleasant to admire the white stone forest in the tree-lined mountain path and feel the cool breeze blowing on your face. Call three or five good friends and go!

I miss autumn in Hong Kong! Because you can go hiking, the reservoir will not be dry, it is beautiful to take pictures! Shawn's first hike, lasting four hours, can complete by himself 👍🏻 Shing Mun Reservoir flat and easy to walk, suitable for couples, friends, families and families short trip, difficult a star, hiking good place. Shing Mun Reservoir has a large 1000-storey forest, with the beautiful view of the reservoir, which makes people never tire of it. 😍 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This time we recommend this family-friendly route. The Pineapple Dam Nature Education Trail is located in Shing Mun Country Park. It is about 800 meters long and takes about an hour to walk. It is definitely suitable for parents, children and beginners. 🌲This nature education trail has a guided tour, mainly introducing information about Shing Mun Reservoir and plants along the way. But walking along the flat forest path along the west bank of Shing Mun Reservoir, you will see the roadside covered with fine-leaf banyan trees, which turn to red maple in autumn. There are also interesting plants such as lichen, moss and nine knots to bring your children to take a nature observation lesson while hiking. 🐒 However, you see a lot of monkeys along the way, do not scare or feed them, and bring your own water and food to replenish your stamina, because there are no resupply points along the way. If you want to continue the challenge, you can also walk clockwise along the Li Chengmen Reservoir, which is about 8.5 kilometers long, which takes about 3 to 4 hours. There are many people hiking during the holidays. It is recommended that parents take their children to challenge the following routes on weekdays. Remember to "take your own garbage, take it away yourself" and be a responsible hiker, so that we can go to more beautiful places. 👍🏻 🚙Transportation: Take minibus No. 82 at Siu Ho Street in Tsuen Wan, get off at Shing Mun Reservoir at the terminal, go up the stairs to enter the Pineapple Dam Nature Education Trail, and walk along the stairs and signs. There are stream canals and tree shade along the way, which is very comfortable and relaxing. ❤️ Check-in hotspots: 1️⃣ Hundred thousand layers of forest 2️⃣ Hundred thousand layers of pondside 3️⃣ Ocheng Cascade 4️⃣ Site 12 Large grassland by the reservoir 5️⃣ Main dam #shawnsplanet #Sights Photography Guide #Parent-Child Weekend #White Layer of Shing Mun Reservoir #LocalTour #ParentFunTravel #Hiking #ParentFunFood #I miss #picnic spots

#Hike at Shing Mun Reservoir, be careful not to be robbed of ice cream by monkeys! 🐒 🍦😆 Last time we mentioned we went to the Lower Shing Mun Reservoir Dam to see the remote control aircraft ✈️, in fact, we still have a trip afterwards, so after leaving the Lower Shing Mun Reservoir Dam, look at the map and follow the instructions to continue on, along the countryside of Shatin Trail (Tai Wai New Village to Shing Mun Reservoir section) all the way! But for some reason it just feels a little different from before, like going the wrong way🤔! Not many people passed by all the way, and the road was strange, like Lufei Road. 😅 But we have full confidence in our father 🧑🏻 👍🏻😂, although the 3 children 👦🏻🧒🏻👧🏻 feel scared, but we can only keep following! The 5 of us continued to walk in the direction of the Shing Mun Tunnel from a distance, walking through the small waterfall, the small water gate, the water guide, the bottom of the reservoir. After walking and walking through a strange long staircase, we finally found the waypoint W069! It's so touching...! 🤪 After successfully reaching the section that looked like someone was walking, walking a little further and seeing the sign for "Wei Yi Sin Trail", then seeing the "M Map" and the temporarily closed barbecue area, we knew the target was in sight! 🤩 A little further ahead is the junction of the Wai Yi Sin Trail and the MacLeod Trail, which means you have reached the Shing Mun Reservoir! 。 3 can rest assured to unwind 🥳, walk around the Shing Mun Road next to the reservoir, take pictures, see the scenery .... suddenly ....! 3 👦🏻🧒🏻👧🏻 said they heard some strange sounds 🥶, at first I thought they were talking about some animal sounds, but it turned out to be a snowmobile 🍦🚖 playing music 🤣, their hearing must be good, I knew where the car was before I saw it, so my father 🧑🏻 took a few to buy it. Who didn't know that they told them all the numbers and prices they wanted, 1st 12 dollars, 2nd 10 dollars, 3 $9 for No. 9, $9 for No. 4 😂! Scared! ? It turns out that I remembered the price tag of the ice cream 🍦 car after I bought it while cycling with them! 🤣 。 There are many monkeys here🐒, plus they will snatch food from hikers at any time. Fortunately, there are many of us, so we can eat with peace of mind🍦 each person looking in one direction However, then we saw a little sister snatched away from a cup of ice cream🍦 by a monkey🐒, and she was stunned, miserable! 😥 (Be careful, everyone) 。 After eating ice cream 🍦, we walked down the road through Pineapple Au before it got dark. Unfortunately, we couldn't go directly to the City Tunnel Interchange, so we had to walk to Wo Yi Hop Road to catch a bus home... 。 P.S. Before cycling, they often saw helicopters 🚁 fighting fires in the Shing Mun River. This is the first time they see water in the reservoir. We really need to protect nature and be careful of fire these days. In addition, wild boars 🐗, monkeys 🐒 have been captured in the wild before hiking, this time I am looking forward to seeing other wild animals, I did not expect to see cows and cows 🐂 up close on the way back It's so festive... it's the Year of the Ox! 😂 。 This time we walked 12 kilometers! 。 PS: This route is more suitable for experienced people, due to a certain difficulty. If you really want to go to Shing Mun Reservoir, you can actually drive or walk up from the Kwai Chung area, it's much easier, it's a BB-class section! ——————————— 。 #HongKongMom #MomBlog #ParentBlog #12km #MountainFun #ParentFun #ParentFun #ParentFun #HolidayActivities #HolidayActivities #WeekendParentFamilyActivities #Hiking #LocalTravel #ParentFunTravel Guide

[Kiss the monkey 🐒 relaxing tour] #Shing Mun Reservoir #Easter Good Places #Family Good Places #Lazy Mom Family Tour Series #Family Tour #Holiday Good Places Zhe Zhe, who loves small animals, started to be interested in monkeys after reading a drawing book about monkeys🐒! Seeing that Easter is coming soon, and the weather is not too hot, my father decided to take Chet Cheet to get close to nature and go to Shing Mun Reservoir to find monkeys! But because Lazy Mom’s belly is 8 months old, Dad chose a very relaxed route. Our whole trip including rest took about 3 hours round trip, walking from the visitor center to attraction 5, then return trip, in which we sat down to rest twice for lunch and snacks. 2 and a half year old Zhe Zhe is very good this time, 90% of the time walking by himself, but I insisted on dragging him, because there is not much fence near the reservoir, afraid of accidentally dropping. But Zhe Zhe was too excited to ask, "What about the monkey 🐒? What about the monkey 🐒?", and I asked him to pay more attention to the environment and trees around him to have a chance to see him! The monkeys at Ocean Park are different this time. They are really jumping up and down in the trees! ✴️Easy route recommended by Lazy Mom✴️: First, go to Exit B of Tsuen Wan MTR Station, walk to the junction of Siu Ho Street and Tsing On Street, take green minibus No. 82, or taxi (fare about HKD70) to Shing Mun Country Park Visitor Center (attraction 1). Attractions 1. Shing Mun Country Park Visitor Center Attraction 2. Butterfly Garden Attraction 3. Shing Mun Reservoir flooded with white millet Attraction 4. Ayutthaya Stone Attraction 5. Semi-idle pavilion Lazy Mom skipped the butterfly garden (attraction 2), walked directly from attraction 1 to Shing Mun Reservoir flooded white millet (attraction 3), Zhe Zhe walked by himself, it took about 30-45 minutes, then sat down to eat lunch, rest for about 30 minutes, then walked to the big city stone space (attraction 4). It took about 30 minutes, by the way to the washroom, then down the slope to the half-idle pavilion grass and rest, walked about 10-15 minutes, rested 20 minutes, then directly from (attraction 5) walk back to (attraction 1) on the minibus, return walk about 50-60 minutes. At first get off the bus then go up the stairs, probably up the stairs for about 10 minutes, then mostly a relatively flat concrete road with lots of chairs for rest along the way. 💖Attraction 3: Shing Mun Reservoir flooded white thousand layers It turns out that Shing Mun Reservoir has many white millet trees from Australia. They are not easy to burn, so they can reduce the spread of wildfires! It also likes to grow in swamps, has a strong vitality, and is not easily damaged by water. We didn't see the phenomenon of flooded white millet that day, but the exposed roots of millet are very characteristic, great for taking pictures! 💖Attraction 4: Ayutthaya Stone Walking from attraction 3 to attraction 4 on the way, started to see the little monkey, Zhe Zhe first meeting, very excited! We had a great time that day, and in addition to the monkeys, we also saw two cows. 💖Attraction 5: Semi-idle pavilion When you walk inside, there will be a large grassland, and many monkeys gathered there. A monkey snatching bananas from visitors was staged at the scene! We went over to the other side of the stone to sit, no monkeys, and some fallen big tree photo spots. 💖Warm reminder from Lazy Mom💖: *When you go on your way, remember that there is a reservoir on the right hand side so you can't go wrong! *Before taking out food, check to see if there are any monkeys nearby. #parents and children #hiking

Shing Mun Reservoir is an easily accessible hiking spot that even those who don't hike often can reach with ease. If you're looking for a low-effort, low-difficulty hike with various photo spots, consider taking a loop around Shing Mun Reservoir. Along the way, you'll pass by the Butterfly Garden, the Melaleuca forest, and the impressive main dam of Shing Mun Reservoir. (I think the main dam looks better in photos when taken from a distance 😂). Standing on the main dam, feeling the breeze while looking at the reservoir, is very relaxing 😌. Surrounded by lush green forests, the sound of birds complementing the flowing water, and the low-cost beauty of the scenery, chatting with a few close friends about life's little things—what an easy way to de-stress, right? 🙈 You might even occasionally encounter a few mischievous monkeys 🐒. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Do not make eye contact with them. Last time, one slipped on the railing and got angry at us 😂😂, very fierce. Do not feed the monkeys 🐒 Do not touch or attack the monkeys 🐒 Keep food and plastic bags in your backpack. 🌟🌟🌟 Everyone is responsible for protecting the environment. Take your trash with you 👍🏻 🌟🌟🌟 Route: Start hiking behind the Pineapple Dam minibus stop, follow the signs, and don't take any forks in the road. The route is simple, and you'll pass by the Melaleuca forest where you can stop for photos before continuing. If you don't start in the morning, it's recommended to take a loop around the reservoir, which takes about 3 hours. Transportation: 🚌 Bus: 1. From Tsuen Wan MTR Station Exit B1, walk to Siu Wo Street and take minibus 82 to the terminus (Pineapple Dam). Hike to Shing Mun Reservoir. 🚌 Buses from various districts: 32, 36, 40X, 47X, 48X, etc. Get off at the "Ho Fung College" stop, walk forward, and follow Shing Mun Road uphill for 15-20 minutes to Pineapple Dam, then hike to Shing Mun Reservoir.

Melaleuca alternifolia, also known as Melaleuca alternifolia, is a plant species that grows in Australia. Of the 236 known species, 230 are native to Australia. Wild Melaleuca trees mainly grow near water or on the edge of swamps. In Hong Kong, there is also a patch of Melaleuca alternifolia surrounding the Shing Mun Reservoir. Today's weather is cloudy and dry for a long time, so you can walk through the wooden steps and take a close look at the Melaleuca tree. The texture of the Melaleuca root is peeling off layer by layer, which is unique. (I believe it will be more beautiful if the weather is good and the sun is shining.) It is said that if it rains continuously, the water level of the pond will rise and will soak through the roots of the Melaleuca alternifolia, resulting in a reflection of the sky mirror of the Melaleuca alternifolia. (Be sure to come back to see it in the rainy season 🙈.) 🌟🌟🌟 There are many monkeys near the pond on foot. If you are not careful, you may be scared by the large number of monkeys. But it doesn't matter. As long as you don't disturb the monkeys, they will not actively attack humans. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Remember to meet monkeys Do not touch/attack monkeys Do not feed the monkeys Avoid eye contact with monkeys Put the food/bag in the backpack to prevent monkeys from snatching the food. Route: Pineapple Bus Station - Walk along the road until you reach a signboard with Melaleuca Alpinia, which is the Melaleuca check-in point. 🌟It is very easy to get there. If you have limited time, you can easily check in and leave by the same route. It is a B B level hike. 🌟If you have enough time, you can continue walking, go around Chengmen Reservoir to the main dam of the reservoir, and then return. 🌟One day, if you set out early and don’t want to go back, you can retreat via the 7-section hiking route of the MacLehose Trail. (The journey is long and takes a long time. It requires very good physical strength and leg strength.🙈) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Everyone has the responsibility to protect nature, do not destroy it, do not pollute it, and take away your own trash. transportation: 🚌Bus: 1: Exit B1 of Tsuen Wan MTR Station, walk to Siu Wo Street, take minibus 82 to the terminus (Pineapple King) Buses from various districts: Take buses 32, 36, 40X, 47X, 48X, etc. at the "Ho Fung Middle School" stop, walk forward, and walk along the slightly uphill road along Cheng Mun for 15-20 minutes to Pineapple House. #Mealela #Shing Mun Reservoir #Hong Kong Places to Go #Weekend Places to Go #Hiking Places #Hong Kong
