Nude bathhouse in Sichuan reopens

SHANGHAI: A nude bathing house in Sichuan province that was shut down seven years ago after a social outcry has reopened its nonexistent doors, ignoring charges of "disrespecting social ethics and morality".

Developers of the bathing house, situated in the Yuping Mountain Scenic Spot, said they only "wished to allow tourists the pleasure of intimate contact with nature", and had no intentions of challenging public opinion of nude bathing.

The bathhouse reopened on Saturday.
