The bathhouse
Koreans love bath, so do we Chinese. Can I claim that the Koreans take after the Chinese? It’s probably true.
Bathouse culture runs very deep in Beijing. It started after Beijing had running water at beginning of 20th century. The Zhous had the Water Works in the capital, it eventually became today’s Beijing Water Works. We love a good bath 泡澡堂子, steep in is the key word here.
