Lam Tei Reservoir

Lam Tei Reservoir, also known as Tiger Pit Reservoir, is a funnel-shaped irrigation reservoir located at the back hill of Lingnan University in Fu Tei, Tuen Mun, Hong Kong. The reservoir covers an area of 17,000 m² and was officially opened in 1957 by then Governor Alexander Grantham. Originally built for irrigation purposes, it has become a popular hiking destination and Instagram hotspot in recent years due to its distinctive green water and scenic surroundings. The reservoir is accessible via hiking trails and is considered a beginner-friendly hiking route, often serving as a stop along the Tuen Mun Trail. Visitors can enjoy walking across the bridge and taking in panoramic views towards Kau King Shan mountain.
