The anti-clockwise walk around the reservoir is flat and largely shaded, making for a pleasant amble all year round. That doesn’t mean the hike is any less exciting though—the scenery changes at every bend to keep you engaged and interested throughout. In some sections, you are offered front-row seats to the tranquil waters of the reservoir, while in others, you are completely immersed in verdant woodland.
Along the trail, you will encounter little streams, waterfalls, and even a mystical bamboo forest tunnel to satisfy your wanderlust! With dense thickets of bamboo flanked on both sides of the dirt path, this gorgeous stretch of the hike looks like it came out of the famous Arashiyama bamboo grove in Kyoto. Go ahead—snap a few shots for Instagram and fool a few of your friends!
The trail also serves up an additional treat for those who visit during late autumn or winter, namely oh-so-photogenic silvergrass fields. Feathery, graceful, and sparkling under the sun, these ornamental grasses imbue the environment with such serenity that you are guaranteed to feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after the hike.
