How it's used
Locals often refer to this area simply as the reservoir when context is clear, but using the full name is necessary to distinguish it from other reservoirs in the city. It is a popular spot for weekend leisure activities and is historically significant as the first reservoir built in Hong Kong. Note that the area encompasses both an upper and lower reservoir, though the name is used collectively for the park and trail system.
