Shuangxingtang

Shuangxingtang is a bathhouse located in Fengtai District, Beijing, which is called the oldest bathhouse in Beijing. It is regarded as the representative of old bathhouses of Beijing and is a spiritual home of a group of old people.

It is said that in early years of ROC, there was a man named Wang Shuangkui who made a living by transporting loess. After a day’s hard work, it was extremely tired and exhausted, and nothing could compare to a hot bath. Taking this as a business opportunity, Wang Shuangkui found a bathhouse providing service to the public.

If you want to explore the real Beijing culture of old times, go to have a hot bath. Having a chat with those old people in there, you may have a chance to hear some interesting stories about local people and this city.
