Hong Kong residents seeking relief from the scorching summer heat can escape to public swimming pools or relax with refreshing beverages at cozy cafes, while those seeking something luxurious and relaxing should visit hotels offering breathtaking city skyline views from their pool decks.

Furthermore, salary has been raised for seasonal lifeguards while staff was recruited on two-year contracts by increasing salaries accordingly.
