Tai Tam Country Park to Quarry Bay
Built between 1883 and 1917, the Tai Tam Reservoirs were vital to the city’s urban development. Steady freshwater supply enabled industrial development to flourish. The area was so strategic that it became a battleground during World War II. Today, you can still find remnants of the war, such as pillboxes, bunkers and wartime communal stoves hiding in tranquil woodland.
