Travel back in time to 1904 at Shek Kip Mei’s historic reservoir—which will be open for tours starting from December 15
After declaring Skek Kip Mei’s historic underground reservoir as a Grade 1 historic building back in March this year, visitors will finally be able to tour the site in-person from December 15 for six months.
Located in Bishop Hill, the underground reservoir was discovered back in December 2020 when the Water Supplies Department was preparing the site for demolition work. The reservoir was later spotted by citizens and the demolition works were put to a stop.

Now, visitors can finally see the underground reservoir in-person by booking free guided tours on the Water Supplies Department. Individual and group tours will run daily from December 15 to June 14, 2022, with English tours available every Saturday. Sessions will last 90-minutes, with each group tour accommodating up to 14 people. Only 1,000 people will be allowed to register and view the reservoir each month at the moment but this may be changed depending on the public’s response to the opening.
