Eagle’s Nest, also known as Tsim Shan, is located within Lion Rock Country Park. The hill is frequently visited by Black Kites, a common raptor in Hong Kong. Adult Black Kites are dark brown with a pale patch at the base of their primaries. There is a particularly dark patch by the ear, which gives the bird its name. The Eagle’s Nest Nature Trail is close to the urban area, making it suitable for family outings. Near the starting point of the trail, you can see the Kowloon Reservoir, which was completed in 1910. The dam of the reservoir has a unique curved design. Three other reservoirs were built near the Kowloon Reservoir afterwards. They are the Shek Lei Pui Reservoir, the Kowloon Reception Reservoir, and the Kowloon Byewash Reservoir. The four reservoirs have a total storage capacity of 2.87 million cubic metres. Midway through the trail, you can see Shiuying Bamboos, named after botanist Professor Shiu-ying Hu. Shiuying Bamboo was first discovered on Eagle’s Nest in 1981 and is endemic to Hong Kong. Further along, you can enjoy the expansive views of the Kowloon Peninsula's urban landscape and even the mountain ranges across the harbor on Hong Kong Island. You may encounter monkeys on the Eagle's Nest Nature Trail, please remember not to feed any wild animals.
