Best known for its magnificent architecture, the Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir is one of the most beautiful landmarks in Hong Kong. Although it is no longer in operation, the reservoir still stands tall and proud, now serving as a unique piece of the city’s history and culture. Here is our guide on how, where, and when you can visit this special monument. Why is the Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir famous? Completed as early as 1904, the reservoir was originally called the Kowloon Tong Service Reservoir, and it was part of the old Kowloon Waterworks Gravitation Scheme. It was one of the largest reservoirs in service at the time, holding nearly 2.18 million gallons of water. Originally used for short-term storage of fresh water, the distribution system provided safe drinking water to residents in Kowloon. The reservoir, later known as the Ex-Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir, was retired in 1970 but was rediscovered by the Water Supplies Department during land renovations in 2020. As the first circular underground reservoir and one of the oldest to exist in Hong Kong, it was rated as a Grade I historical monument by the Antiquities Advisory Board in 2021.  The reservoir is incredibly well-preserved, with functional components such as exhaust pipes, ventilation shafts, as well as water inlet and outlet pipes still kept in amazing condition, – but the most impressive of all is its architecture. Designed to resemble ancient Roman engineering, the historic site is decked out in
