South Korea's sauna (steaming) has a long history and is deeply loved by the people. It is a major feature of Korea. With the popularity of Korean culture, sweat steam also entered China with Korean dramas, costumes and makeup, and was quickly recognized and accepted by Chinese people in just a few years. In the sauna, you can chat, sing and even have entertainment programs. Sauna is the most familiar and indispensable part of Korean daily life. In the eyes of foreigners, Koreans' love for sauna is amazing. In Korea, it is not uncommon for customers to go to the community sauna at least once or twice a week. Because while enjoying the bath, you can also eliminate fatigue through the sauna, thus achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone. Not only that, 24-hour business service and low preferential consumer prices also make people prefer saunas. With the popularity of this popular hobby, the types of saunas and their indoor facilities and spaces have also shown diversified development. It not only provides leisure space such as fitness, Internet cafes and restaurants, but also provides various types of saunas such as warm pools, cold pools and loess steaming rooms. The popular sauna, which integrates leisure, entertainment and fitness, is really favored and loved by Koreans. It is not an exaggeration to call it a comprehensive leisure center in residential areas.
Sauna and bathing are integrated in China, and the sauna center is a bathing place with sauna. Since 1980s, sauna was introduced into China. Originally in Shenzhen, this fashionable bathing method was provided to people in the form of a small sauna in a star hotel. Combined with this service mode, it also integrates entertainment and leisure functions such as lounge, health room, chess room, locker room and fitness facilities. This place is called sauna center. In the 1990s, a number of large sauna centers were built one after another, represented by Jilin and Liaoning in the northeast, with an area of over 5,000 square meters, with large sauna centers ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 square meters. The architectural style of this sauna center is mainly Roman style, following the luxury and grandeur of Roman baths, so it is also called grand baths. After 20 years of development, large-scale baths have mushroomed in major cities in China, with tens of thousands of baths in China. However, the sauna in these big baths is still the preferred fashion bathing function after ordinary bathing. So it can be said that the sauna center is also a big bath. At the same time, in terms of cultural differences between north and south, southerners call the bath center a sauna center, while northerners call it a big bath.
