Huanggang Public Bathhouse (Golden Spring)
磺港公共浴室（黃金之湯） · show this name to taxi drivers
A free community bathhouse by Jinshan's fishing harbor, built for local residents and still used by them. Inside are separate men's and women's nude baths of iron-rich spring water that turns golden in the air, and outside is a free foot bath open all day. It's a no-frills local soak you can try on your own if you follow bath etiquette.
