城門水塘 Shing Mun Reservoir
Shing Mun Reservoir Walk loops from Pineapple Dam, starting at the Visitor Centre’s park history exhibit, then to the year-round Butterfly Garden buzzing with Lantana and Crotalaria-fed species—perfect for photographers. Admire waterside paperbarks’ stunning flooded spectacle in wet season or artistic exposed buttress roots in dry times. Halfway offers fresh reservoir vistas, panoramic views of Kwai Chung, Tsing Yi, Tsuen Wan, and Lantau from the Leisure Deck, or Tai Mo Shan-framed scenery at the Viewing Point. Don’t miss the iconic main dam, valve house, bellmouth overflow, and a quick detour to the War Relics Trail for a historical finale.

Unlike Hong Kong's pineapple bun sans fruit, Pineapple Dam Nature Trail boasts a genuine pineapple link—named after fields near Shing Mun Reservoir, once Hakka lands. This erosion-preventing plantation features Brisbane Box, Sweet Gum, Taiwan Acacia, and dangling-rooted Chinese Banyans. Year-round visuals delight: spring greens, summer's purple Hog Plum and fragrant Desmos blooms, rainy submerged Paper-barks, autumn Sweet Gums from pavilions, winter bird flocks. Spot macaques peacefully for true nature harmony.

Discover the haunting 250-metre WWII relics trail on Smuggler’s Ridge in Shing Mun and Kam Shan Country Parks. Part of the historic Gin Drinker’s Line, it preserves British-built pillboxes, the Shing Mun Redoubt, London-named tunnels (Oxford, Regent, Shaftesbury), and bullet-scarred observation posts. Ambushed by Japanese forces in December 1941, the site still echoes the grim brutality and sorrow of war.
