Shum Shui Po ex-Service Reservoir
Visited this dug into a hill reservoir that was built a hundred years ago to supply water to residents in that area. It stopped function in 1970 when a much bigger underground reservoir was built to serve the expanded residential area.
A long flight of steps goes up to the top of this hill, then more steps to get down to this dug out space. The reservoir is supported by 105 granite pillars, reminded me of Moorish palaces I have visited in Spain, in a smaller scale.
