The Jinlin bathhouse is located in a poor suburb of Beijing where migrant workers live in houses without bathing facilities.
Beijing, The JinLin Bathhouse The JinLin bathhouse opened around nine years ago. Business is not good anymore because many residential buildings have been demolished in recent years. Just a few customers are left in the area, but soon they also will have to move elsewhere. During the daytime there are no customers anymore. In the evening they receive between 20 and 30 customers. It costs 10 RMB (1 GBP) to take a shower or a bath. The bathhouse has a male division and a female division. In the middle of the male division lies a big bathing pool. There are showers, a barrel for bathing, two tables for rubbing your back (or having it rubbed) and a sauna room. In the female division there is no bathing pool and bathing barrel. There is no toilet in the bathhouse. Customers who want to use a toilet have to go outside and use the public toilet. The bathhouse used to offer foot treatment and massage services, but it doesn't offer these services anymore.
