Xian Hot Springs

When Xi’an was the capital of China, the emperor had a summer place built at hot springs about 20 km from the town. A different bathtub for every member of the imperial family.


This voluptuous lady was his favourite. Visitors were queuing up to have their pictures taken leaning on her thigh. Wonder what the emperor would have made of that? Not a lot me thinks. The place put me in mind of Roman baths complete with pictures of semi naked women taking a dip.
