Hidden underground palace in Hong Kong

Wo Tsai Shan (also known as Bishop Hill) used to be a paradise for explorers. It hides the once forgotten former Sham Shui Po Reservoir and is a private check-in spot for ruin explorers. At the end of 2020, someone discovered that excavators were demolishing the ruins, which immediately attracted attention in the media. After some negotiation, the Hong Kong government finally decided to stop the project and protect the historical monument. This early 20th century building thus survived and was rated as a Grade I historic building in Hong Kong. It was opened to the public a year after the incident. Now, this place has become a new blogger spot, and weekend visiting sessions must be booked a month in advance. This Byzantine underground water palace-like reservoir, with its granite columns and red brick arches that carry a sense of historical vicissitudes, is being visited, remembered and cherished by more and more people. Transportation: Exit A of Shek Kip Mei Station and walk to Bavet Street. It takes 10-15 minutes to go up the mountain. Make an appointment for a visit: There are two ways to make an appointment for a visit on the official website of the Water Supplies Department: 1. For guided tours, reservations must be made one month in advance; 2. Self-guided tours, 3 time slots available for reservation each day: 8:45-9:45, 11:30-12:30, 13:00-14:00, you can listen to the commentary online yourself. #HiddenAreas#GoodPlacesToCheckIn #Don'tTellYouYouDon'tKnow
