Weekend Macau Cross-Border Dash to Hong Kong! Explore the Anime-Style Century-Old Water Palace Former Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir Check-in Guide

🇭🇰 Sham Shui Po Hidden Gem|The Century-Old Water Palace Gets a Second Life Ex - Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir The former Sham Shui Po Service Reservoir, built in 1904, was once part of Hong Kong’s first gravity-fed water supply system. It has now been decommissioned and revitalized as a historic building. The reservoir’s architecture is designed as a Romanesque underground palace, supported by 108 granite columns holding up a 9-meter-high vaulted ceiling. It is modeled after Victorian-era waterworks buildings in the UK and is the only remaining example of this design in Hong Kong. It has a strong vintage industrial vibe. It was almost completely demolished before being discovered and exposed in time, then urgently designated as a historic protected building. After restoration in 2021, it was opened to the public for visits 💁🏻‍♂️ 📍 How to get there 🚇 MTR Sham Shui Po Station, Exit B2, about a 15-minute walk (along Pei Ho Street to Wo Tsai Shan) ⚠️ No reservation is needed now, but there is a limit on the number of visitors allowed inside #ShamShuiPoHiddenGem #ExploreCitySecrets #ThisIsNotARuin #OffTheBeatenPath #UrbanExplorer #HongKongStyle #AlvinASP
