Sai Wan Swimming Shed - 西環鐘聲泳棚

The Sai Wan swimming shed has a history of more than 100 years in Hong Kong. Following the end of World War II, people started to seek pleasure through leisure activities, and swimming was one of the activities at that time. As Hong Kong had not developed well in the 1950s, and transportation was not inconvenient, it was difficult for people to swim in beaches far away from the city such as Repulse Bay. Therefore, more swimming sheds were gradually built in various towns in Hong Kong, including Kennedy Town, Lai Chi Kok Bay in Kowloon etc. At that time, the swimming shed was built out of bamboo and wood, and the fee was two cents per swim, which showed that Hong Kong society was not rich. However, due to the increasing number of public swimming pools, the swimming sheds gradually declined, and only the Sai Wan swimming shed was left in the city. The swimming shed witnessed the change in Hong Kong, from the colonial period to the handover of Hong Kong. Standing here, you can imagine the lively times of Hong Kong back in the 1950s and watch the beautiful sunset. Many people come here to take wedding photos in memory. I believe that the scenery of the swimming shed will definitely surprise you and give visitors a relaxing time.
