Finland is a small country of just 5.3 million people, but over three million saunas(桑拿浴). 1. Finns have a sauna at least once a week. Saunas can be found all over Finland: in offices, factories, sports centres and hotel, and 2/3 of the people have one in their house.

Saunas have existed for hundreds of years in Finland. In the past, Finns dug holes in the ground and put heated stones in them. When water was thrown on the hot stones, they gave off a vapour.

Once the room is hot enough, the fire is allowed to die and the room is ventilated (使通风) by letting the smoke out through a hole in the ceiling. 4. With these, you simply turn on an electric stove an hour before you want to go in. This is seen as the safest and easiest way to heat the room.
