Bathtub; a tub used for bathing.

How it's used
Modern Hong Kong apartments are notoriously small, so having a full sized bathtub is often considered a luxury. Most people use the term to refer specifically to the deep, soaking style tub rather than a simple shower tray. If you are describing a shower stall without a tub, use 淋浴間 instead.
