A spectacular 163.com gallery traces the various ways in which the Chinese deal with the thermal waters.

Chinese people, after the fall of the Gang of Four, have slowly rediscovered the pleasure and the benefits of thermal waters. In recent years, the opportunities of the economic development pushed to invest large amounts of money promoting events, contests, beauty contests, and more.

December 3, thousands of tourists flocked to Jilin, in Heilongjiang, to participate in a bare-hand fishing contest in a large spa. With the economic changes, the way people deal with hot springs has evolved, and with it, the entertainment industry. Not only a relief for the body, but also a place and a way to develop social relationships.
