Tai Tam Country Park

Tai Tam Country Park is a country park in the Tai Tam area in the south end of Hong Kong Island. At 1315 hectare, the park consists of one fifth of Hong Kong Island's land mass. During World War II, the Japanese encountered strong resistance from British defence forces here. So that the park preserves bloody memories from that period.

The park was designated in 1977 with attractions like:


 * Jardine's Lookout
 * Tai Tam Upper Reservoir
 * Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir
 * Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir
 * Tai Tam Intermediate Reservoir
 * Tai Tam Forts
 * Mount Parker, the second highest peak (531 m) on Hong Kong Island
 * Mount Butler

Granite rocks in the north and volcanic rocks in the south form the geological composition of this area.

Another country park adjacent to it, named Tai Tam Country Park (Quarry Bay Extension), was designated in 1979.
