香港仔 Aberdeen
The first stretch of Aberdeen Nature Trail is super easy and relaxing – just a flat path hugging the Lower Reservoir! Once owned by a papermill, it got a government makeover in 1932. You'll love the gorgeous views of Aberdeen typhoon shelter, spot cool plants like Sasagrass and Chinese Cane, watch Black Kites overhead, and peek at a unique Chinese-Italian convent. Don't miss the cute old rain gauge monument at the end – it's a gem!

Starting from Aberdeen Country Park entrance, follow the shaded path past facilities like Kids Walk, Tree Walk, and PHAB Barbecue Area. Along the catchwater, reach a junction: proceed to Wan Chai Gap or turn right to Aberdeen Reservoirs (Lower). This lush trail holds WWII history, featuring reinforced concrete "Type A" shelters near a pavilion—built by British forces in the 1930s as command posts, quarters, or storage.
Hey, check out Aberdeen Reservoirs in Aberdeen Country Park – there's an Upper and Lower one! The Lower was built in 1890 for a paper factory, but the gov bought it in 1929, added the Upper, and spruced both up by 1932. Hop off at Yue Kwong Road, stroll up Reservoir Road through shady woods, and you'll hit the gorgeous dam with cool historic bridge and valve house – super fun to explore!
