Beneath the tranquil surface of High Island Reservoir lies a hidden history. This is the story of Lan Nai Wan. Lan Nai Wan was once a vibrant bay nestled in the Sai Kung Peninsula. Imagine a bustling village, the Lan Nai Wan Village, alive with the rhythms of daily life. The community thrived here, their lives intertwined with the sea. But the 1970s brought a dramatic change. The Hong Kong government decided to build the High Island Reservoir. This decision meant progress for the city, but it also meant the end of Lan Nai Wan as they knew it. The rising waters of the reservoir claimed the bay, submerging Lan Nai Wan village and several others. The villagers were relocated, their homes lost beneath the waves. The once lively bay became part of the reservoir. Lan Nai Wan, once a place of community and tradition, now rests silently beneath the water. The reservoir stands as a testament to Hong Kong’s growth, but also as a reminder of the sacrifices made in its name. Lan Nai Wan’s story is a poignant echo of a time gone by, a hidden history beneath the surface.
