Doing a lap in Hong Kong pools is an effective way to beat the heat or unwind after a hard day’s work – public pools, residential complexes pools and member’s clubs (with someone usually available to lend you their pass). And let’s not forget the ultimate swimming pool: our ocean. It is never far away.
Public swimming pools provide an affordable and easy way to stay cool when temperatures soar, with adult admission costs at just HK$17 during weekdays and 19 on weekends/public holidays – students and senior citizens enjoy discounted admission rates as well. But for an unforgettable pool experience, look no further than Rosewood Hong Kong’s Asaya Pool: its 25-meter infinity pool allows guests to experience Victoria Harbour from all sides while taking a refreshing dip or simply lounging around; after your swim or just lounging around is complete, head next door for refreshments at their Asaya Kitchen before heading back home again!
Kerry Hotel in Hung Hom offers another hotel pool with stunning city views; their modern outdoor pool boasts unobstructed views of Victoria Harbour and neighboring skyscrapers, making it one of the most Instagrammable pools in Hong Kong. To enhance your visit further, come at sunset for an extra luxurious afternoon of sunbathing while sipping cocktails on their pool deck or snacking on snacks served from their pool bar!
For something more daring and thrilling, why not try cliff-jumping at Shueng Luk stream in Sai Kung? This spot provides the ideal setting to perform an eight-meter jump into its crystal clear water of its natural pool – complete with sandy bottom and lush vegetation that draws swimmers alike?
As a tourist, make sure you bring along both your passport and a Hong Kong swimming pool monthly ticket ($150), which allows unlimited visits for one year at all public swimming pools in Hong Kong (both locals and visitors). Purchase it at any LCSD-approved venue or online – just remember to double-check its hours prior to visiting, since some pools close temporarily due to staff resources being diverted elsewhere!
