Aberdeen Country Park

Introduction
Aberdeen Country Park is situated on the southern slopes of Hong Kong Island, stretching north to Wan Chai Gap and bordered by Aberdeen and Wong Chuk Hang to the south. Covering an area of approximately 423 hectares, it is one of the earlier established country parks in Hong Kong.
The park surrounds the “Aberdeen Reservoirs,” which consist of the Upper Aberdeen Reservoir and the Lower Aberdeen Reservoir. The Upper Aberdeen Reservoir was the last reservoir to be built on Hong Kong Island, and the combined capacity of the two reservoirs is 12.5 million cubic metres.
Aberdeen Country Park boasts beautiful surroundings, making it ideal for hiking or leisurely walks—especially during spring when the hillsides are covered in blooming flowers and shaded by lush greenery, offering visitors a refreshing experience. The shaded paths enjoyed by visitors today are the result of post-war afforestation and the regeneration of various broadleaf tree species, including common ones such as red redbud, Schima superba, Gordonia axillaris, Schefflera heptaphylla, and Camellia granthamiana. Common birds found in the forested areas include the crested goshawk, bamboo partridge, Chinese hwamei, magpie, greater coucal, and black drongo. Visitors may occasionally spot pangolins or squirrels darting through the woods. Transportation
