早前強颱風韋森特吹襲本港，除了為香港帶來自一九九九年以來的首個十號風球之外，連續幾天的暴雨，亦為香港帶來可觀的雨水。城門水塘的水位經過此次風暴之後進帳不少。趁著早前颱風過後的僅有晴天，決定來到這兒，欣賞隨著水塘水位上升，才可以形成的水浸白千層美景。水上的白千層景象，與下方的平靜倒影，互相交映著，虛實交融，似實還虛，實是特別！可惜同日於白千層那處逗留得太久，沒有去到水碗口那兒，拍下過多存水排放出水塘的一刻。看著網上照片，動人震撼。

城門水塘，不得不提的是城門水塘的一道石屎橋，於下方乃是大城石澗。途中應該會找到很多拍攝流水的好地方。有興趣者可留意留意。但切記要注意安全，注意天氣變化。一般來說夏天雖然會比較多水，所見到的流水會比較壯麗。但是陰雨不定時，還是比較危險。

去拍攝白千層的路不難走，在荃灣兆和街乘小巴 82 到總站城門水塘。經過菠蘿壩自然教育徑，後沿著畔塘徑，一直走下去就會發現到一些拍攝白千層的好地方了。

Paperbark tree at Shing Mun Reservoir, Hong Kong. After the strike of Typhoon Vicente, which brought a lot of rainfall to this city, the water level at the Shing Mun Reservoir rose a lot. Therefore it formed a special scene – some parts of the paperbark trees were covered by water. A mix of reality and reflection of trees on water creates a very special scenery in this place.

If you know more skills of hiking, you could also try Tai Shing stream, which supplies water from hill like Tai Mo Shan to Shing Mun Reservoir. But you must be very careful and cautious about the weather as it may change suddenly in summer. Such condition may put your life at risk.

It is easy to reach Shing Mun Reservoir. Take minibus 82 from Tsuen Wan Shiu Wo Street and get off at the terminus.
