United College Water tower 聯合水塔
GZ is call the Lady Tower. There are two water towers in CUHK, one in New Asia College and one in United College. New Asia water tower is also called “the Gentleman Tower”, while United College water tower has the name of “the Lady Tower” because of its beautiful curves. The two water towers were said to be a couple madly in love. From their positions, you can see the charismatic gentleman faces the lady directly as if he is looking her in the eyes, while the lady leans to one side shyly to escape his burning gaze.
1970年起為聯合書院供水的聯合水塔，塔頂水箱儲存鹹、淡水，供應書院各部門的日常所需。。新亞水塔高大巍峨，剛直方正，故有「君子」之美譽；聯合水塔線條優美，且具弧度，故被稱為「淑女塔」，與新亞水塔「君子塔」遙遙相對。現每逢大型活動，水塔會於晚上亮燈，氣氛迷人。水塔下的聯合瀑布則於1996年校園美化工程時落成，由園藝家呂元中先生精心設計。
