Lau Shui Heung Reservoir in Hong Kong

Situated in the west of scenic Pat Sin Leng Country Park, near the border with China. Lau Shui Heung is a picturesque reservoir, often referred to by locals as 'the mirror of the sky', That moniker arose from the vivid reflections of the surrounding environment on the surface of Lau Shui Heung's calm waters, visible all year round. The reservoir is particularly popular around late December/early January. During these few weeks, the reflections become even more evocative, due to the reddening leaves of the cypress trees on the reservoir's western edge. Lau Shui Heung translates to 'the sound of flowing water', which is quite often the only sound to be heard at this peaceful location. During weekdays, the reservoir is a picture of calm and tranquility, granting visitors the opportunity to hike and bask in the splendour of the surrounding woodlands.
