The Best Hong Kong Pools

Wednesday, June 25th, 2025

Hong Kong is famous for many things – shopping, dim sum, skyscrapers – but what many don’t realize is its incredible pools – from world’s highest pool to natural infinity ponds on mountainsides; Hong Kong offers beautiful swimming spots!

Hong Kongers love public swimming pools for more reasons than one; not only are they an oasis from the intense summer heat, but they’re a gathering point for social activities with families converging at weekends and holidays to take a dip and spend quality family time. Public pools also play an essential role in encouraging a healthy lifestyle and maintaining high levels of physical fitness among their communities.

While pools are an integral component of daily life, they’re not without their problems. Recently it has come to light that some private swimming pools in Hong Kong employ unqualified lifeguards; as reported by Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department officials recently ordering one pool to close after discovering its credentials did not match official records.

Though it is regrettable, the pool had to close, it does show the importance of Hongkong’s pool industry being subjected to regulations. Accordingly, F&EH will take additional measures to ensure only qualified lifeguards are hired for private swimming pools by reviewing current training and certification systems as well as developing technologies capable of verifying identity of lifeguards.

Hong Kong has become well-known as an ideal location for swimming thanks to the diverse array of pools available here! If you want to make your visit even better, book one of Klook’s excellent hotel packages on Hong Kong as part of your visit and staycation package.

Cordis Hong Kong provides an idyllic escape from Mongkok’s hectic streets through their rooftop pool. Spanning 42nd floors high, guests can either swim laps or relax in one of their nearby cabanas to find peace and serenity – swimmers should try getting there early to ensure uninterrupted laps!

Or for an unforgettable pool experience, head up to Hotel Indigo’s rooftop pool on the 29th floor – it features a glass-bottomed swimming experience! While swimming underwater you will be able to see directly down onto the streets below! For those not inclined to swim there’s also plenty of deck chairs offering amazing views where you can sit back with cocktails or light bites!

These beautiful pools serve as a reminder that this magical city offers much more than skyscrapers and shopping malls alone, so be sure to stop by when planning a visit!

How to Play Poker Online

Wednesday, June 4th, 2025

Poker online is an engaging and lucrative pastime that can be enjoyed for real money, providing great returns. Professional players often make a living from this activity; amateur players can still generate substantial earnings through learning the nuances and practicing regularly. Patience and an in-depth knowledge of rules are crucial components to succeed at poker; emotional control must also be maintained to avoid becoming frustrated or making poor decisions; it’s also wise to know when it is necessary to withdraw from losing sessions as well as take regular breaks for rejuvenation and concentration.

American poker has experienced a resurgence in popularity as more states legalize it, though perhaps never to the heights it reached during its heyday in early 2000 when Chris Moneymaker, then only 27-years-old accountant from Los Angeles won World Series of Poker Main Event via $40 satellite tournament. Still immensely popular today with millions of players worldwide!

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an upsurge in online and app poker play, as more people than usual opt to play instead of visiting casinos or other forms of live entertainment venues. Some sites cater specifically to novice players in order to provide them with a safe learning environment without risking too much of their hard-earned cash; others target recreational gamers by offering low stakes games with potential big prize opportunities.

Interacting with other online poker players in a social environment is key to an enjoyable online poker experience, be it through chat features, forums, or social media channels such as Twitter. Communities provide insight and strategies while keeping players motivated and inspired – both key components for an enjoyable poker experience!

One key component of an enjoyable online poker experience is the quality of software used for running the games. For maximum player safety and fairness, top poker rooms use software certified by independent auditors like eCOGRA which ensures it does not rig hands fairly and can be relied upon.

Finally, the best online poker sites provide their players with a wide range of payment options to select from – credit cards and bank transfers are most often the go-to choices, while some accept PayPal too. All payments are processed securely according to industry standards and players should note that their information won’t be shared with third parties without their express authorization – an integral component of responsible gaming that must be respected when choosing an online poker room.
