The newest addition to the list of Hong Kong’s best public pools, this stunning facility is set in the midst of the city’s famous shopping district and offers incredible views from both inside the pool and around it. The massive glass windows give you a view of the stunning Victoria Peak while the pool is designed with a curved roof that allows swimmers to look up at the skyline while they enjoy their dip.
While many of the city’s pools have reopened since last Thursday under the phase-two easing of social distancing restrictions, there are still a number that remain closed for cleaning and regular maintenance. We recommend checking each pool’s website and individual schedule before heading out for a swim!
