Recently, the Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Kangqiao made waves with
its swimming pool, perched atop the 24-story building.Impressively, part
of the indoor pool hangs out past the building’s edge, and is
constructed with a glass bottom.Hotel guests describe a delirious sense
of swimming in the sky – like flying.
Exactly 30 meters long (about 98 feet), six meters wide (20 feet) and
1.5 meters deep (5 feet), the swimming pool is the first of its kind in
China. Swimming in such a radical pool, with just a glass pane between
you and a 24-story drop, is really an exciting experience.
No doubt the swimming pool has exceptional views, from the inside and
outside. The glass-bottom section allows swimmers to see the street
below, and conversely, people on the street can look up and watch the
swimmers. While not splashing in the water, guests can enjoy Pudong
urban views stretching as far as the Lujiazui skyline at the poolside
lounge.
