One of Singapore 's most famous landmarks is the pool on the roof of the skyscraper Marina Bay Sands. It, like many things in Singapore, is "the most-most": it is the largest roof-top swimming pool (its length is one and a half hundred meters), located at the highest altitude - almost 200 meters. It is called SkyPark. This hotel with a swimming pool is the most expensive in Singapore - and so far in the world (for its construction it took about 4 billion pounds - and the numbers in it cost from 350 pounds sterling per day). The hotel is considered one of the best hotels in Singapore and represents three skyscrapers, united on top by a platform in the form of a boat on which there are a swimming pool and a park, which also impresses with its size - it covers an area of 12,400 square meters.
The construction of the hotel lasted 4 years and was completed in 2010, and since then the pool at the height in Singapore has become the visiting card of the city, and the whole region. Most tourists visiting Singapore, stop at the hotel with a swimming pool at least for a short while - despite the impressive prices, because at the moment only guests can swim in the pool.
The sides of the pool are not visible, but if you look at the pictures taken in a certain perspective, it seems as if the water breaks straight into the abyss, and the unlucky swimmers can simply be washed away! However, there is still an edge, and besides, another level of protection is provided, so that even if someone decides to jump out of the edge - this level will "catch" the swimmer-jumper along with the splashed water.
Total information
The pool in the skyscraper in Singapore is made of stainless steel - it took 200 tons to make it! The swimming pool is equipped with a double water circulation system: the first one is used for filtration and heating in the pool itself, the second one for filtration and heating in the drainage system and return of water to the main pool. The towers of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore have some mobility (equal to 0.5 m); The pool is equipped with special deformation seams that allow it to withstand this movement, and for visitors it remains invisible.
The time of this most famous pool in Singapore is from 6am to 11pm, so you can enjoy the spectacle of sunset or sunrise, which differs little from a similar spectacle on the ocean coast, as well as a laser show that takes place every evening on the waterfront near a skyscraper.
