How it's used
This is a major reservoir located in the northeastern part of the New Territories. It is unique because it was originally a sea inlet that was dammed off and drained to create a freshwater lake, making it the only reservoir in Hong Kong built from a bay. Locals often refer to it simply as 船灣 when the context of it being a reservoir is already clear.
