Pfigaron Cruising Hong Kong Tai Tam Tuk

Tai Tam Tuk (大 潭 篤)

The Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir is one of the oldest reservoirs in Hong Kong, and the construction work was completed in 1918. The dam is part of Tai Tam Road linking the Eastern and Southern District. Many people focus to the narrow road on the dam ridge, in fact, the dam base can be accessed by car and is a good place for joy ride.
