Shing Mun Reservoir Background
Shing Mun Reservoir is a reservoir in the southwestern part of the New Territories. It is located in the Shing Mun Valley area of Tsuen Wan District ( Shing Mun Country Park). It is the first reservoir to transport the stored water from the New Territories to Hong Kong Island. In order to distinguish the Lower Chengmen Reservoir, the Shing Mun Reservoir is also known as the Shangchengmen Reservoir. For this reason, in the broad sense, the Shing Mun Reservoir is the Upper Shing Mun Reservoir and the Lower Shing Mun Reservoir. In the narrow sense, the Shing Mun Reservoir is the real name of the Upper Shing Mun Reservoir. Since the fall of the year was the 25th year of Emperor George V's ascension, the Upper Shing Mun Reservoir was also known as the Silver Jubilee Reservoir. As the entire Shing Mun Reservoir Group is situated on the boundary between the Eastern and Western New Territories, the Sheung Shing Estate Reservoir is bounded by the boundary of the boundary (in the Tsuen Wan District) and the Lower Reservoir is bounded by the boundary (in the Sha Tin District). The Shing Mun Reservoir is located in both the New Territories West and the New Territories East.

Journal review
The shing Mun Reservoir is located in Shing Mun Country Park and is one of the suburban areas familiar to Hong Kong people. The scenery is pleasant, and visitors who like butterflies can enjoy many varieties of butterflies. There are nature trails, barbecue pits, hiking trails In the country parks, and the traffic is convenient. Many people will go on a barbecue hike on holidays.
I heard that there has many monkeys , so I specifically invited my friend to come here. The traffic is very convenient and soon arrived at the starting point. The entire road section is mainly flat. On the way, the scenery has high trees - white layer and the pond. There has birds and flowers everywhere. Under the foil of the stone and the white Layered trees. The calm lake surface is beautiful and beautiful and it seems to be in the lakeside of another country.
You can see the monkeys after a long road, and you can see the size of the monkeys as you can see the monkey which is the king of monkey but I should be careful. Because If monkeys see the plastic bags as food, they will snatch them. We need to pay attention to these situations and don't try to anger the monkeys since when the monkeys are threatened, they will also attack humans.
It took about two and a half hours to complete the entire journey, which was very easy. You can also try it, suitable for novices to get close to nature.
