Thanks for the tip. Luckily after many years in and around Shanghai, I am moving to Nanjing to work on a new multi-year project. I will report on any worthwhile adventures. (I did not monger per se...

Westerner living part time in Shanghai for several years. There are plenty of fancy brothels, private clubs, etc in Shanghai and in every Chinese city. Emphasis on private. "Foreigners" are rarely...
