During the summer in Hong Kong, temperatures reach a staggeringly high level. The blazing sun combined with the insufferable humidity can leave you feeling sweaty and sticky all over. However, luckily, there are plenty of options to cool down in Hong Kong. You can take a dip in the ocean, head to a public swimming pool or even enjoy some swank hotel rooftop pools. But, let’s face it, some of these pools can be pretty pricey – especially if you’re only there to do some laps and guzzle your body weight in champagne.
But what if there was a more affordable way to get your swim on in the heart of the city? Introducing the hk pools, an affordable solution that’s perfect for anyone looking to escape from the heat. Typically running $45-$48 (if the auto cover is involved) these pools are designed to be installed on an existing concrete deck and provide both a safe pool area and a stylish alternative to traditional fiberglass pools.
The hk pools are made from a durable, high quality fiberglass and come with a three year warranty. They are fully insulated to help keep the pool warm and also feature an auto cover for added safety. They can be shipped across the country or even internationally but, depending on location and size of pool it may add $10k to the cost.
In addition to the hk pools, you can find a number of other ways to escape the summer in Hong Kong. Whether it’s heading to a local shopping mall to cool down in the air-conditioned mall, or taking a dip in one of Hong Kong’s many public swimming pools.
There are 44 public pools in Hong Kong, many of which boast tropical bliss ambience, Jacuzzis and an abundance of loungers to make you feel right at home. The Sai Kung Public Swimming Pool, for example, is well known among water slide fans, with a number of slides suitable for various age groups to keep the kids entertained while mum and dad can do their laps in the main pool area.
But, if you’re looking for some swank and privacy, Hong Kong has some beautiful hotel rooftop pools that can be found in some of the city’s most luxe hotels. The Rosewood’s Asaya Pool, for example, offers a stunning one-of-a-kind view of Victoria Harbour’s calming waters and is the perfect place to relax after a long day at work or a long, lazy afternoon in the sun. The pool is open to both residents and non-residents and is a must visit for any visitors. It’s best to head there during sunset, when you can soak up the atmosphere and watch the blazing sunlight sink into the Hong Kong skyline. It’s simply magical.
