Bathing together has long been a unique form of community activities inseparable in the culture of Tu Le people (Yen Bai). This is a relaxing way after the hard working days of a boy and girl's village every afternoon.

In the midst of the vast sky, young and old, big and young, boys and girls poured out their clothes and bathed in streams. There was a more discreet girl who came down to the water to get there, the long skirt gradually rose up to the body, then put it on her head or placed on the stones. Sometimes the whole village bathes with a stream, still exchanging stories of upland fields, and laughter speaks all over the corner. It can be said that compared to the fairy bathing process in many northwestern regions, Tu Le still retains many original and pure features.

Some parts of Yunnan Province have a common male and female hot spring bath. The girl just came down to the water and poured out her clothes, and he took off his clothes on the shore and into the water. This is also a long-standing tradition but has been eroded. Today it is thought that the public bathing is not civilized, so it separates men and women. The fairy bath has become a tradition in the past.

Japan

Soaking in natural mineral-rich hot springs is a long tradition in the land of Funan. In the past, they bathed in rivers and lakes, and today they bathe in the baths without being shy and embarrassed. This centuries-old tradition enhances health and is favored by most people here.

The Japanese bathed naked because they thought that bathing with clothes lost the feeling of being immersed in nature. Communicating when people are on the ceiling makes them more equal, empathetic and close, breaking all barriers in position in society.

Today, some places in Japan still have nude baths in Onsen hot springs. Visitors who want to take a bath can bring a towel, place it on the edge of the stream or wrap it on their head while bathing, but are absolutely not allowed to bring it into the water.

Russia

Despite the cold weather, men, women, children will soak in cold water 3 times with the desire to purify their souls, cold water will help bring healthy bodies. This practice has lasted for hundreds of years.

According to traditional Russian rituals, they will create crucifix-shaped holes cut on frozen rivers and lakes, and festival participants try to brace themselves to go down to the glaciers.

As the land of ice and snow, bathing in the nude in the cold is also a long time ago. People here will 'burn' themselves in the steam room, then run out and roll on the snow or jump into a small hole drilled in the frozen lake. This is a unique way of sauna in the world.
