Since Chinese dignitaries are not allowed to frequent brothels, these establishments are the only ones that these men can visit.

The men don’t only visit the houses to frequent the courtesans but also to dine, smoke opium, play mahjong and relax. The women working there are known as the “flowers of Shanghai”.
