1. Kennedy Town Swimming Pool
There are 44 public swimming pools in Hong Kong, and while we haven’t taken a dip in all of them, we do think that the K Town one is pretty amazing. Located by the pier overlooking Victoria Harbour, this facility has both indoor and outdoor pools that are situated inside a futuristic building with a curved, triangle-shaped rooftop. Not only is this one of our favourite public swimming pools in Hong Kong, it costs less than $20 to use – talk about cheap and easy ways to cool down!
