A hotel is offering a very peculiar spa that lets you stew in a human hot pot.
The experience even includes bathing with vegetables such as whole chillis, lemons, corn on the cob, apples and bananas.
Though it’s not clear if this is a decorative effect or meant to offer any special properties.

The bizarre hot spring is available at the First World Hotel in Hangzhou, a city in the capital of the Zhejiang Province in China.
It is reportedly inspired by the country’s traditional hot pot culture.
In a set of images, people can be seen wearing swimwear while eating a meal served on the edge of the hot pot.
They are sitting and standing in the water together, with vegetables floating alongside them.
Although it was actually launched several years ago, the experience recently went viral online, leaving social media users stunned at the photos.

“Is this hygienic?,” asked one prson.
“This seems like a waste of food,” added someone else.
A third person said: “I can’t accept this.”

But others were left impressed.
“Really innovative ideas keep emerging that I never imagined,” said one person.
The hot pot event was originally planned for a festival to promote adopting a healthy lifestyle.
This is not the only hot pot experience available, as reported by What’s The Jam.
In the Sichuan province, at the Ronghui Hot Spring Resort in Chongqing, customers can not only bathe in a red soup but also take funny photos.
In one snap, a male visitor can be seen being ‘picked up’ by giant chop sticks.
A representative said it costs around £21 to take part.
The spa experience is offered at the five-star Maple Leaf Village Hot Spring Resort in Harbin, too – at a slightly higher price of approximately £28.
