Kung Peninsula of Hong Kong. It was opened in 1978 and is the largest
reservoir in Hong Kong.
The east dam is also the place where most typical hexagonal columnar joints and rocks can be observed.

This can be regarded as man-made wonder.

This
picture shows how large each piece of concrete dolosse unit is. To walk
in the east dam, it is like to enter an area of the giant.

the weather in March is not sunny enough, it does not affect our mood
at all. When we arrive at the east dam, we are shocked a bit by the
hexagonal rock columns and concret dolosse units. At the same time, we
admire this man-made and natural wonders. Bear in mind, the
