(2020·安徽省合肥市八校高三第一次联考)If you're a design enthusiast, you're sure to feel dizzy over these jawdropping pools.
SkyPark Infinity Pool, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Located on the SkyPark above Singapore's most famous hotel, Marina Bay Sands, this is the world's largest rooftop pool. Offering amazing views of the city's skyline, the pool is at least three times the length of an Olympic swimming pool. As visitors swim toward the edge, they face an illusion that they'll float into the skyline. It's quite a heartbeaten rush!
The Red Pool, The Library Koh Samui, Thailand
This bloodred pool is perhaps one of the most special hotel pools on the list. Set against the backdrop of Koh Samui's Chaweng Beach, the fascinating colour isn't the result of using artificial dye. Rather, the mosaic tiles (马赛克瓷砖) of orange, yellow and red make the brilliant sight that is set among trees and an openair library.
San Alfonso del Mar Resort Pool, Region de valparaiso, Chile
The world's largest outdoor swimming pool gets its water directly from the sea. The pool uses a computercontrolled pump and filtration system. Located at Chile's San Alfonso del Mar Resort, this huge manmade pool is larger than 20 Olympicsize pools and holds approximately 250 million litres of water. It also holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's deepest (115 feet) pool.
