The gate of a ruined famous Bathhouse
"The first class fragrance" Bathhouse which in Chinese “一品香澡堂”was once a very famous and beloved place for people to come and enjoy their leisure time before 1949 in Beijing, China.
It located in the traditonal Hutong area south to the Tiananmen square which was a entertaining area in old Beijing with many famous restaurents, theatres for Peking Opera, bathhouses and many brothels as well.
After 1949, brothels were shut down and many old houses and courtyard lived by ordinary people. Now this traditional living area is being demolished and will be rebuilt in some way.
The arch door was the only visible ruin of the bathhouse and people could only imagine that here once were many celebrities passing by.
