Traditional bathhouses and scrub, linked to Yangzhou's 'three knives' culture.
Bathing is a core Yangzhou habit, summed up in the saying 'skin wrapped in water in the morning, water wrapped around skin at night'. The Yangzhou bathing association has reported that the city once had more than 1,600 bathhouses and has about 700 left; well-known mid- and upper-range names include Jiuding Yayue, Yangzhou Renjia, Yide, Julongwan, Jintiancheng, Zui Wenquan and Zhishangquan.
