After my "horrible" encountered after my shower, we visited the bathing area of the royal family....华清池....we were told that 杨贵妃 used to bath there...how nice...the bathing area is huge....it is said that 杨贵妃 had body odour, that's why she constant came to wash herself..of coz it could be false...it's just the chinese belief that no one is perfect..she couldnt be a beauty without flaws....ever heard of 四大美女？well, each of them had their own flaw "created"...one had small shoulder, thin earlope, body odour and big feet...how interesting...anyway, i was impressed by how intelligent ppl were from the ancient times....they had "bath tub" as big as swimming pool or personal sauna....now i know who invented bath tubs and sauna...hehehe...and they even had steam room~~~ooh, i forgot to take pics of it....after hot bath, they usually would stay in a room...but because of cold weather, there was no heater then...so what they did is they created a shallow drain around the room and let the hot spring water in~~~BRAVO BRAVO!!!
This is yang gui fei's personal bath tub...it is a shape of lotus flower...so pampered~~
Guess what i am trying to show....no idea? look at the pagoda...it looks like a normal pagoda now but in the past, it used to be more important....it used to be yang gui fei's pagoda where she dried her hair...晒头发
