List of social nudity places in Asia
- List of social nudity places in Asia
This is a list of social nudity places in Asia for recreation. Includes free beaches (or clothing-optional beaches or nude beaches) and some resorts.
Japan
Some public hot spring baths in Japan allow mixed gender nudity, particularly those in rural locations and where permitted by prefectural law. Related Japanese terms include:
* "onsen" - hot spring
* "kon'yoku" - mixed gender bath
* "sentō" - a type of public bath, but gender separated
Hong Kong
Hong Kong does not officially allow nude or topfree bathing, and most local bathers are quite conservative in their beach dress (e.g. many women wear T-shirts over swimsuits). Nevertheless, remoter parts of Hong Kong's extensive coastline do offer opportunities for nudity:
*At least one naturist organization in the territory arranges weekend boat trips to the remoter parts of Sai Kung Country Park in the New Territories.
*Unofficial nudist beaches reportedly exist on Lantau Island; Tai Long Wan beach on the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula is sometimes used by naturists.
*Historically, nudists gathered at Sha Tin in the 1930s and Wok Tai Wan on Tsing Yi Island, from the late 1930s to the 1950s.
*Power Station Beach on Lamma Island is reported to be used for nude night swimming at times.
*Some report that South Bay Beach - near Repulse Bay - is used frequently by groups of expatriate women nude sunbathing [unconfirmed] . South Bay and neighbouring Middle Bay see occasional topfree use by women.
