Amazing Floating Swimming Pool: MARINA BAY SANDS HOTEL, SINGAPORE

#1

Singapore has opened a new wonder, “Sky Park” Marina Bay Sands – located 200-meter high, resting on the three skyscrapers, as if on three pillars. Its a treat to watch the structure that truly lives up to its name. Its a park in the sky. Stretching longer than the Eiffel tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets, with an impressive 12,400 square meters of space, the Sands SkyPark can host up to 3900 people. The gravity-defying cantilever is one of the largest of its kind in the world. From this privileged observation deck, hundreds of visitors at a time can feast their eyes on the unforgettable panoramic view of Singapore.

The £4billion, 2,500 room Marina Bay Sand is the biggest hotel in Singapore at the moment. It consists of three different hotel towers that are connected by the sands skypark located at the top of the structures. The skypark pool is 200 meters off the ground. At three times the length of an Olympic pool and 650ft up, it sets the record for the largest outdoor pool at this height, although that is not too surprising.

But swimming to the edge won't be quite as risky as it looks. While the water in the infinity pool seems to end in a sheer drop, it actually spills into a catchment area where it is pumped back into the main pool. 

The pool stretches 150 metres, three times the length of an Olympic swimming pool. If you fancy a dip in this pool, you'll need to let go of the fear of heights - it's 55 storeys up.

The Bridge of Immortals, HuangHsan, China

#1

Strangely-shaped granite peaks, amazing scenery, beautiful sunsets and striking heights. The Yellow Mountains in eastern Asia is really something every person should experience.

The world’s highest bridge, The Bridge Of Immortals, is situated in the Yellow Mountains, also known as Huangshan. From the bridge you will have a breathtaking view of the mountainside that lays beneath, and see how the clouds are touches the mountains.

The worlds highest bridge located in Huangshan, China.

Having at least 140 sections open to visitors, Huangshan is a major tourist destination in China.

Much of Huangshan's reputation derives from its significance in Chinese art and literature. In addition to inspiring poets Huangshan and the scenery therein has been the frequent subject of poetry and artwork, especially Chinese ink painting and, more recently, photography. Overall, from the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, over 20,000 poems were written about Huangshan, and a school of painting named after it. James Cameron, director of the 2009 film Avatar, cited Huangshan as one of his influences in designing the fictional world of that film.

On the way up to the top of these mountains there are a lot of steps on steep cliffs you need to climb. They even have an optional side hike called the “South Heavenly Gate” which has 3 planks that you can balance on while holding on to a big chain that will keep you close to the cliff walls so you don’t fall. If you fear height, you probably shouldn’t take all the rough trips up the cliffs of the Yellow Mountains, but that has to be the only excuse, because it’s truly worth it.
