Sao Feng's Bathhouse is a location featured in the 2007 Disney live-action film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Background[]
This bathhouse was located in the bustling town of Singapore owned by the Pirate Lord of the South China Sea, Sao Feng. Located on the outside, the bathhouse appeared in a dilapidated and decrepit state, although inside the house contained a place of luxurious relaxation for Sao Feng and his followers. It also contained the headquarters and private meeting place for Feng.[1]
Located within the dark backwaters of Singapore[2], the bathhouse contained a front entrance guarded by Tai Huang and his men, although the sewer system was also used as an underground hideout[3], which led into the bathhouse via boiler room in a lower-level. It was also full of advanced machinery consisting of bellows, boilers, and bamboo pipes servicing the main chamber above. The boiler room workers were employed to make sure there was a constant supply of hot water and steam to make a misty, humid effect help sooth Sao Feng's tensions.
The main room inside the bathhouse consisted of candles and incense burners, and was dominated by large baths where the fungi spouted under the humid conditions. The bathers who left their tubs to only wield swords against unwanted visitors, became hosts of free-growing mushrooms.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End[]
The bathhouse held the discussions between Hector Barbossa and Sao Feng, regarding the later's navigational charts. In a plan to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker, Feng thought this plea was used as a deception, ordering the clients to fight back. However, at that moment, Ian Mercer and a group of EITC soldiers, arrived and disrupted the discussion, resulting in a battle inside the bathhouse. Throughout the battle, the inhabitants who lived here suffered casualties, such as Park who was killed. Sao Feng, Barbossa, and their followers were ambushed inside, just as they end up in the streets of Singapore where the battle continued. The fate of the bathhouse is unknown in the aftermath, even after Sao Feng's death.
