The Aberdeen Reservoirs are two small lakes (Upper and Lower Reservoirs) located at the heart of Hong Kong Island. OUR HIKE: Our hike starts from Wan Chai Gap Road up to Aberdeen Reservoirs only 5-minute walk from Wan Chai MTR, making it very convenient. The first part of the hike (Wan Chai Green Trail) was quite a climb as there’re steps and steep road up the mountain for about 1.4 km. Once you get to Aberdeen Reservoir Road, the hike is a lot easier and the view is slightly better. Today these two lakes are incorporated in the Aberdeen Country Park and are surrounded by easy hiking trails as well as BBQ and recreational areas. The trails are nicely paved and very much family-friendly, good chance of seeing birdlife and lots of butterflies in the autumn. These are worth a quick look-see if you are planning to hike the lakes area and are interested in preserved historical buildings. #insidehongkong #hikinghongkong #hkhiking #hkiger #hkdaily #explorehk #hongkong
