The Bell Singing Swimming Shed in West Point is a popular photo spot in Hong Kong in recent years. It has now become a good place for locals and travelers to relax and take photos. Located on Victoria Road in Mount Morningside, there is no charge and open 24/7, the swimming shed is always available for a moment of tranquility. Whether you want to take retro photos or feel the culture of Hong Kong fishermen in the past, it's quite interesting. It was safe to enter the swimming shed and walk along the big wooden bridge out to the sea, and everyone naturally walked slowly in an orderly manner. The wooden bridge extends to the sea, looking out to the open air, the sea and sky are the same color. Many friends come here to take pictures of the sea view, or sit and enjoy the breeze. It is recommended to get there a little early to avoid too many people, however in fact, even if there are many people, everyone is quite self-disciplined, not pushing and shoving, taking pictures or enjoying the scenery is very comfortable. The most famous photo spot near the swimming shed is the wooden bridge and the old steel ladder next to the swimming shed, very coastal nostalgia FEEL. If you want to take portraits and outfit photos, it is recommended to wear a simple style, or bring small props (fisherman hat, drawing board) is quite a Hong Kong old story atmosphere. In addition, when the sunset comes, the light and shadow are the most beautiful, the seaside is orange and yellow, very suitable for taking pictures of the sunset. After playing in the swimming shed, you can take a stroll to the Kennedy Town Promenade and continue to feel the slow life style of the Western District. The setting sun dyes the sea golden yellow, very beautiful, perfect for chatting with friends or thinking about life. The whole route is not difficult to walk, it takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to walk from Kennedy Town to the swimming shed, and there is a sea breeze along the way. Practical tips: - It is recommended to bring a hat or sunscreen, there is no shade in the swimming shed - Remember to bring a little water, easy to thirst in summer - Try to avoid the weekend afternoon rush hour - The swimming shed is an outdoor facility. Be careful under your feet when the road is slippery in rainy weather - There is no food to buy nearby, it is recommended to arrange meals before and after the trip #West End Swimming Shed #Kennedy Town Sunset #Mosin Hills #Hong Kong Seaside Attractions #Retro Hong Kong
