Because bathing can relieve fatigue, help to dredge the body's meridians, improve the body's metabolism, help to whiten the skin, and also have a certain weight loss effect, and this is also a tradition in Hangzhou.

Although bathhouse culture is popular in the north, bathhouse first appeared in the south. Hangzhou is the birthplace of bathhouse culture, including the northerners' favorite rubbing bath, which also developed from Yangzhou. The origin of bathhouse culture is caused by the development of business.

At that time, the bathhouse culture in southern China was very popular, which can be said to be a service industry integrating bathing and health preservation, and began to spread from south to north. Gradually, not only the people accepted this form, but also many dignitaries fell in love with this bathing method. Nowadays, many elderly people still have the habit and hobby of going to the swimming pool every day, because in the cultural system, they have recognized this leisure way.
