【Tsuen Wan Shing Mun Reservoir Melaleuca Avenue】Hong Kong’s Forest-Themed Photo Hotspot! Amazing Photos Guaranteed

Sleepyhead Looking for a place that feels like you’ve traveled to Japan’s Karuizawa forest without taking a flight? We recommend coming to the “Melaleuca Forest” at Shing Mun Reservoir! Rows of swaying trees make it perfect for photos, walking, and picnics. Best of all, the transportation is super convenient, and you can complete the whole trip in under two hours~ ⸻ 🧭 Transportation 📍 Location: Melaleuca Avenue, Shing Mun Reservoir, Tsuen Wan 🚆 Transport: From Tsuen Wan MTR Station, transfer to Green Minibus No. 82 / take a taxi directly to “Shing Mun Reservoir Terminus” ⸻ 🌳 Highlights of the Trip: • 🌲 Melaleuca Forest Avenue: Super artsy vibe, feels like walking through a Japanese or European forest trail~ perfect for photos! • 🐒 Monkeys are everywhere: Remember not to bring food/plastic bags to avoid attracting them 😅 • 💧 Scenic reflections: There are quiet spots by the reservoir where you can sit and relax while gazing at the water~ • 📸 Recommended photo spots: • The curve at the entrance of Melaleuca Trail (sunlight shining through the trees is stunning) • Leaf-covered paths (artsy forest vibes) • Reservoir dam with a distant water view ⸻ 🍙 Recommended Activities: • Family outing 🧒👵: This path is flat and easy to walk, and you can picnic near the dam after the walk • Couple date 💑: The dappled sunlight through the trees is very romantic, and you can grab a bite in Tsuen Wan afterward • IG photo shoot 📷: Remember to bring a tripod or a friend to help take photos~ a little post-editing light boost makes the photos pop! ⸻ 💡 Tips: • Best to go early on weekdays for fewer people + beautiful slanting sunlight • Wear comfortable sneakers/sports shoes as the ground has some gravel • No restrooms or vending machines, so prepare before entering • Autumn and winter (Nov–Feb) have the most fallen leaves and are the most beautiful! ⸻ 🏷️ Hashtags: #HongKongForestPhotoSpot #KaruizawaVibes #TripcomShare
