High Island Reservoir is at the end of Sai Kung. The water is impossibly blue.
The Hike
The trail goes along the reservoir dam. hexagonal rock columns on one side, blue water on the other.
These rocks are volcanic - formed millions of years ago when lava cooled. Nature is the best architect.
The Water
The blue here is different from the ocean. Its deeper, calmer, more mysterious. Like looking into another world.
I found a spot, sat down, and stared at the water for a long time. No thoughts, just watching.
Geo Park
The area is a UNESCO Geo Park. Hexagonal columns, sea caves, volcanic structures. Walking through is like being in a geology textbook.
Conclusion
High Island Reservoir is one of those places that makes you feel small in a good way. Nature reminds you that human concerns are tiny compared to geological time.
