The Hok Tau Valley was once an area of streams and
marshes. Nowadays, it is covered with secondary
forests. This verdant valley with plentiful water
supply is where the Hok Tau Reservoir Family Walk is
located. Taking the minibus to Hok Tau Wai and
walking another 15 minutes or so along the road,
the hiker reaches the dam. Here you can follow
the trail to the left or climb up the steep rocky
steps to the right, the latter of which is known
as the "68 steps". Then you can walk
around the reservoir where you will enjoy the view
of the entire Hok Tau Reservoir and the small experimental
woodlands in the vicinity.
The barbecue and
picnic sites around the reservoir allow the visitors
to take a break and relax, enjoying the breeze and
listening to the sounds of the birds and insects.
