Tai Tam Intermediate Reservoir
Interesting pic, thanks for posting. Judging by the shape of the empty reservoir, I think this is Tai Tam Intermediate Reservoir. The difference between the shape of the dam wall in the photo and as seen today is probably explained by the lowering of the north section of the spillway in 1977 as reported at Para. 48 of www.aab.gov.hk/form/AAB138-14-B-eng.pdf .
