South China - Guangzhou

[Gao Xing]

Thanks a lot Gao. Didn't know about this one before but I'm going to try this place soon as well.

Great! Please post a report if you do. Hope you also have a good experience.

By the way, there is another sauna / massage place right in front of the Dongfang Hotel. I've been there a couple times, but felt that the overall service at Deyi Sauna was better (especially for the service per cost ratio). I don't remember all the specifics, since it's been a few months, but in general:

DONGFANG HOTEL SAUNA.

* I don't recall the exact name, but it is directly in front of the Dongfang Hotel.

* From the street (Liuhua Road) , go down a long set of stairs to the main counter. Ask for the Japanese Massage.

* Enter the locker room / changing area to put on their sauna clothes. From there, you go into a restaurant / waiting relaxing area.

* All the services and drinks in the relaxation area are extra. I recommend the ear cleaning service, as there is nothing else like it. Pass on the massage, since you'll get a massage with the girl.

* Eventually, you'll be led by one of the sexy girls to a massage room. As I recall you get a halfway decent massage followed by an HJ.

* I also recall there are a whole bunch of extra charges, which makes it difficult to escape with less than 800 RMB.

Again, I haven't been there in a few months, and anyone who has been there recently should post a report. I think the experience is too pricey for what is offered. Essentially an expensive HJ. The new location I found at Deyi Sauna, and described below, is a much better detail. Yes, the facilities at Dongfang are cleaner and the girls seem to be a bit younger / sexier, but it's relatively expensive for just an HJ.

All reports welcomed!

The locker room boys can be a bit pushy for the tips.

Yeah, that's always the problem with these sauna's isn't it. I was lucky as the two guys this time were pretty cool and not pushy at all. I was also surprised that the tip tray only at 20's taped to them, and not Red Mao 100's. For the exact reason that they weren't pushy and reasonably friendly, I gave them more than I would otherwise.

The only question, is if they have same offer for foreigners, which almost don't speak mandarin or cantonese or very, very little.

The pricing is printed on a laminated piece of paper in English and Chinese, so you shouldn't worry about having a different price for the "Thai Massage". Again, you'll have an extra 10 RMB charge for their classy pj's. My masseuse said that they get a lot of foreigners there from all over. So, there's no worry about not getting service if you don't speak Chinese as they are used to it. You won't be able to talk politics and history with the girl, but that's not what your there for anyway. Most people there can speak a little English, and I'm confident you should be able to have a good time. Please do post a report on your experience.

Walk in, go down a couple steps to the counter. There are a few different kinds of massage, but mongers will want the "Thai Massage" for 368 RMB. I asked about the other kinds, which were regular massage and Chinese massage. I was told that the Thai Massage (listed as 90 minutes) would offer the "best service". I know what that means, and I took it.

Been there a few times, nice place. The locker room boys can be a bit pushy for the tips. The mamasan kinda whispered to me "You want sexy massage" and I said well yeah.

Not too hard to find, just follow the given directions.

Good one Gao Xing

Great job Gao Xing! This is definitelly one of the best reports posted here last weeks. I will try that sauna soon and post my report. The only question, is if they have same offer for foreigners, which almost don't speak mandarin or cantonese or very, very little.

Jacher, the link to Google maps works fine. Also, links can't be posted directly in this forum. Plus there is also more than enough information in the report for you to find it.

Yes, I think Gao Xing has provided excellent details, great job man. I am not so much of a sauna type but still appreciate the excellent contributions. I also found it is not too difficult to get good sauna experience in Guangzhou, but what is really missing in Guangzhou are quality WGs in clubs and bars. If you go down to Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong, you willl see all those WGs and some used to work in Guangzhou. I enjoy the process of picking up a cute looking girl in a busy bar, like we used to be able to do in Tang club, before it was closed down.

Guys,

Everyone is talking about CP but can anyone clarify how one to go about in CP? I can definitely get on a train to CP but then how to find the right place for action?

[Jacher]

So many boring questions on this thread, discussions on taking the metro, RTFF questions, and invitations to go to CP where things are so much better. Well, there are places to go in Guangzhou (though I certainly won't argue the worth of Guangzhou over CP as a mongering destination) , if you just look. I had the occasion to head out of HK for a few days up to Guangzhou and found a decent full service sauna near the Dongfang Hotel / Marriott Hotel. The Google maps link is: tiny url dot com / 6h4karw.

I had the occasion to head out of HK for a few days up to Guangzhou and found a decent full service sauna near the Dongfang Hotel / Marriott Hotel.

The details:

After finishing running some errands as a favour for my friend, I had some time off and decided to try a sauna that was reviewed on this forum. From Dongfang Hotel, turn left on Liuhua Road. At the first intersection, turn left at North Renmin Road. The first small intersection is Panfu Dajie. Turn left here, and the Deyi Sangna Health Club is only about 50 meters down the street on the left.

Walk in, go down a couple steps to the counter. There are a few different kinds of massage, but mongers will want the "Thai Massage" for 368 RMB. I asked about the other kinds, which were regular massage and Chinese massage. I was told that the Thai Massage (listed as 90 minutes) would offer the "best service". I know what that means, and I took it.

I was lead off into the men's locker room. Regulars know the deal. You put on a bracelet with your number. The locker room attendants help you change out of your clothes, put everything away, and then hit the lockers. There is an extra 10 RMB fee here for the clothes you wear for the Thai Massage. This extra charge doesn't apply for the other massages. Oy, what's a Pound here or there?

After the shower, putting on my fancy new 10 RMB clothes, I was led off to the rest area. As I was there in the late afternoon, there was not too much activity. The bartender gave me a Coke, and I asked to get the massage quickly since my time was limited. After a while, a youngish "mamasan" asked me to go upstairs and led me down a dark series of corridors to a massage room.

Eventually the massage girl entered. They keep the rooms fairly dark, so it's difficult to see too much. The girl I had is local (as she had a thick Cantonese accent when speaking Mandarin. English was very limited.) Facilities seemed reasonably clean, but old. Not terrible, not great, but in the middle of the scale. The "massage" started with me faced down. Not great, but decent, and a lot of attention paid to the posterior.

Keep in mind, I thought this place was just a HJ-type place. My masseuse, #22, claimed to be new to this establishment. I believe she was new to this sauna, but not new to the sauna business. Difficult to see exactly, but probably in the mid- to late-20s. Nice personality, and we chatted a while during the massage. It's always better to develop some relationship with the masseuse. In this case helpful to know some Chinese. (Though Cantonese would have been better!)

After about 20 minutes, she ducked out for a bit to get a "glass of water". This turned out to be the requisite equipment for fire and ice. She did some of the water-gurgling-on-the-back routine, and then asked me to turn over. (I much obliged.) Off come the shorts, and then starts the BBBJ with fire and ice. Quite good. During this time, she grabbed my hand to put on her tits and asked me to feel her up. No problem.

Some more of this, and then out comes the 'dom, and she asked whether she or I should be on top. I'm a lazy guy, and asked her to be on top. (And at this time, very pleasantly surprised it's not just a HJ establishment!) What followed was one of the more passionate experiences I've ever had in a sauna. Maybe she's new to this place, but I felt that Miss #22 was enthusiastic, and seemed into it. First, she was on top, and I sucked on her nipples for a while (which she seemed to like). Eventually we switched, with her on the bottom. A lot of sauna girls give you a feeling of a definite routine, but not here. She seemed more open and flexible. No kissing (though I didn't try.) No DATY (again, didn't try) , but overall, I felt it was one of the better sauna experiences I've had. Be advised, this may be due to the fact I was only expecting an HJ and got much more.

I would definitely go back and ask for #22. No, she's not the youngest or prettiest. But overall an excellent provider. She asked me to call her next time I'm in Guangzhou. (So here's hoping my friend needs another favour done soon!)

After the deed, we chatted for a bit. I needed to catch a train back to HK, so I didn't stay the full 90 minutes. I didn't get the feeling there would be an opportunity for a second pop even if I didn't have to get back home. I just headed back down to the showers, washed off, changed back up, gave the locker attendants a tip (they seemed like decent guys, and weren't pushy, so I gave them 50 RMB) , and then out the door. This place makes you pre-pay for the massage, so nothing to do when I left. Just back out on the street, squinting in the sun, looking for a taxi to get back to Guangzhou East Station.

Hope this is helpful, and have fun in Guangzhou.

Is there any chance that I can get any extras if I take a massage in the hotel massage parlor?

And other places close by for a good massage with a bit of extras?

Especially on Saturday

Probability is rather high. Maybe it will not be FS but HE should be available.

The new Guangzhou. Zhu hai intercity light rail is open have any one take this yet, my friend told me it start operation in Jan but it only go to N Zhu hai end at the airport take 76 min with stop at Jiangmen and Shunde, by early next yr there will be a non stop fast train that go all the way to Gonbei. Macau border whole trip only take 46 min.

As a Guangzhou to Zhuhai regular, I couldn't resist but tried it out when I was in Guangzhou a week ago.

1. Difficult to get to Guangzhou south, best is to take subway line2. I entered from JiNianTang station and it was 30 min ride from Guangzhou center to that station.

2. Ticketing was at a far away location, so it was a bit of a walk from subway to ticket office and back to terminal, I would say this adds another 15 min.

3. If you time your trip, then maybe just another 10 min to wait for the train, which was indeed 40 min to Zhuhai N.

4. Once you get off, easy to get a taxi and it took 30 min to get to my hotel in GongBei area, at night, with no traffic.

So to sum up, it ended up taking about 2 hours, and a lot of exchange, so pretty much the same as taking the bus right now. Certainly look forward to later this or early next when the train will get to GongBei and take the YangChengTong card without a trip to that ticketing office.
