The Plover Cove Reservoir is the world’s first reservoir formed from the sea. It is Hong Kong’s second-largest reservoir by storage capacity with the longest main dam, spanning about 2km. Built in the 1960s when Hong Kong suffered severe water shortages, it was formed by joining two islands in a bold and innovative design that cut Plover Cove off from the sea, enabling it to be drained and filled with fresh water. Now celebrating its 55th anniversary, it’s the location for Walkathon 2015.
There are two routes, the Inclusive Route at 4.2km and the Discovery Route at 7km.
