There is a crossroad at the entrance of Aberdeen Reservoirs, leading to the Upper Reservoir and the Lower Reservoir respectively. This time, we start from the left road to the Upper Reservoir and will pass through several barbecue areas. The whole road is rather flat, with only a few gentle slopes. Some sections are shaded by trees, and wheelchair users can complete the whole journey easily. The dam of the Upper Reservoir, the stone bridge, the valve house and the dam of the Lower Reservoir are all listed in Declared Monuments. The stone bridge adopts the European style and is very distinctive. The valve house is influenced by the Renaissance style. Looking down from the dam, you can see the stone bridge. It takes about 1 hour for the whole trip. As Aberdeen Reservoirs are close to the urban area and its route is simple, many citizens come here for hiking on the holiday to get out of the bustle of the city.

Hint:

At the end of the dam of the Upper Reservoir, the uphill road is very steep and there are anti-slip pits on the ground. Therefore, wheelchair users are not recommended to continue to move forward. After visiting the main dam, they can turn back along the road.

Address: Aberdeen Country Park

The Aberdeen Nature Trail orbits around southern to eastern rim of Aberdeen Lower Reservoir and extends to the Upper Reservoir. The entrance is located at the end of the dam of the Lower Reservoir, with a total length of about 1.2 km. The common plants in the Nature Trail include Brisbane Box, Schima superba, Hong Kong Gordonia, Ivy Tree, Rose Myrtle and other vine plants. Along the road, there are some signboards which can be used to deepen the understanding of the natural environment.

Short comments:

The Aberdeen Nature Trail is only about 1.2 kilometres long and can reach to the Upper Reservoir via the Lower Reservoir. You can enjoy the scenery of the two reservoirs along the way. But unfortunately, there are many steps along the way which will stop wheelchair users.

Address: Aberdeen Country Park

Aberdeen P.H.A.B park is located in Aberdeen Country Park. It is less than 10 minutes of walk to the left from the entrance that can reach Aberdeen P.H.A.B Park and Aberdeen Wheelchair Course. The park is equipped with a number of barrier-free facilities, including barbecue stoves suitable for wheelchair users, a wheelchair trail, accessible toilets, as well as a tai chi platform, a fitness trail, children's recreation facilities and a tree trail. You can not only enjoy the fun of barbecue, but also throw yourself in the Nature, learning knowledge of different plants around you.

Move forward along the fitness trail and you will arrive at No. 2 and No. 3 barbecue area. The barbecue stoves in three barbecue areas are different in designs, and only some of them are suitable for wheelchair users.
