Despite the scorching weather in Taiwan, many public swimming pools in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli have become abandoned and run-down due to difficulties in leasing, maintenance, and financial losses. The lack of repair funds from authorities has led to a trend of these once-cherished pools falling into disuse, prompting calls from local representatives for central or local government subsidies to revitalize these facilities. Specific cases mentioned include the unused swimming pools in Sanyi Township and Houlong Town in Miaoli County, with proposals ranging from seeking corporate support to considering transforming outdoor pools into indoor facilities to attract more visitors.
