Hong Kong may bring to mind shopping and dim sum, but swimming pools might not. Yet this city boasts picturesque pools including the world’s highest pool and an infinity pond on a mountainside – perfect for impressing out-of-town guests or beating summer heat! Here are some of Hong Kong’s finest pools.
Rosewood hotel features an exquisite luxury pool that provides breathtaking views of Hong Kong.

Pao Yue Kong Swimming Complex was opened as a public pool in 1977 in Southern District and offers one of Hong Kong’s only public pools with spectator stands and other pools designed for training or teaching, toddler’s pool featuring whimsical water installations like mushroom and tree-shaped fountains, four of Hong Kong’s fastest waterslides as well as other amenities designed to keep children cool while they have some fun.
As well as boasting an inviting pool, this complex features a fitness center equipped with showers and changing rooms as well as shower stalls for guests. There’s also a snack bar and outdoor terrace where guests can appreciate breathtaking views of both city and seascape.

Hong Kong boasts many public swimming pools, but they can become overcrowded at times. Furthermore, Hong Kong uses a lottery system to select students for government-subsidized classes; due to this lengthy waiting list many parents opt for private swim schools such as Stanford Swim School which boasts 12,000 students across 21 pools.
Hong Kong pools draw people with their stunning views and comfortable temperatures – it’s no secret why so many are drawn here! So plan a pool day with friends or family and don’t forget your sunscreen!
