Ho Pui Reservoir in Tai Lam Country Park, Pat Heung, Yuen Long, is a small mountain lake feeding northwest New Territories fields. High water reveals submerged forests and islets like an emerald turtle. The easy, level muddy trail ends at a rare S-shaped dam blending artificial and natural beauty, with a 17.4m outfall and watery oasis. Nearby campsites and organic farms make it family-friendly for nature escapes.
Tai Tong Sweet Gum Woods sparked Hong Kong's love for these trees. Winter brings fiery red foliage visible along the nearby Tai Tong Nature Trail, which overlooks sprawling Yuen Long Plain and distant Tin Shui Wai. Stone-filled cage retaining walls line streams, curbing erosion while nurturing plants in their gaps. The path links to the historic Yuen Tsuen Ancient Trail, once vital for villagers hauling produce to Tsuen Wan. Once barren borrow pits, lush forests now thrive thanks to dedicated afforestation. Hikers beware: the undulating route demands good fitness.
