Hong Kong may be famous for shopping, but it also boasts stunning swimming pools that will take your breath away. From rooftop pools with breathtaking cityscape views to sleek modern pools like The Mira Hong Kong’s sleek modern pool which features a purple ceiling lit to mimic starry night skies; day passes can even be purchased to take advantage of The Mira’s pool as well as other wellness services such as sauna, steam bath Jacuzzis and aromatherapy showers – Hong Kong truly is home to something for everyone.
Many of Hong Kong’s pools were constructed during the 1960s and 70s when funds from Hong Kong Jockey Club were donated for their construction. As a result, numerous triangular-shaped pools with spectator stands at either end were created across the city; others had glass walls for added beauty or were covered completely – many older pools have since been torn down to make way for newer facilities.
During the 2017 typhoon, some pools were closed due to fears that their water may contain vomit or faeces from residents, prompting fears that some may reopen afterward and the LCSD announced that inspections of swimming pools will increase to ensure their safety for public use.
