East China - Shanghai

[Jason1225]

Hi guys,

I will be staying in downtown for 2 or 3 days mostly just to see the city, but I wouldn't mind some additional experiences. I do not speak Chinese and do not feel like going to saunas / clubs on my own, although I am very familiar with similar places in Eastern Europe.

Are there any hotels (around 70-150 USD per night) not too far from downtown that offer sauna or in room massage with extras on site? Or you have to go out for that? I am used to prices around 50-100 USD per hour, but I am more concern about safety than price this time.

It does not have to be downtown, but it is more convenient for sightseeng given that I am not familiar with local transportation (usually travel with Chinese co-workers).

Thanks in advance!

Haven't been since the weather went bad, but as for your transportation concerns, didi, or google maps w / VPN can solve that.

SAMCAN,

Thank you for the kind words. You know its funny, my very first post in this forum was a review for a sauna I found myself using the resources available (this site, Happymassage, SNG (rip), etc). In fact, I believe at least the first two or three places I found without asking for any help, I don't speak a word of Chinese, why is so difficult for people to do the same thing? Yes, I was in Shanghai not outside the country, but I did all the finding (other than identifying the specific location) from the comfort of my computer.

In any case, my personal situation has changed, I am based in Beijing right now. So when I do make it to Shanghai, I just to go to Manhattan's / Judy's and with all of the reviews going on right now for them, I haven't found anything of value I can add. And the Beijing scene absolutely sucks! Even worse than the current situation in Shanghai.

Maybe we will meet up sometime, I have gotten value from many of your posts.

Cheers,

Taz.

Hey Taz,

Regarding Beijing are you visiting Maggie's or Mango? I know it's not like the scene in Shanghai but the Mongolian women are beautiful. I've also used Angel services and it's OK. I do know it more expensive in Beijing so that is a bummer. I wish I knew the spa scene in Beijing but I haven't tried that action. Hope to read more from you in the future. If you haven't tries you need to visit Hong Kong. Legal prostitution, heck yea!

Taz, I always appreciated your posts. Sorry if I never told you. Get back on the board, we need quality reviews!! It's very important especially with the current weather. This is an issue of safety as well as quality. I used to get to Shanghai 6 times or more a year. Now I only get there 2-3 . All reviews help me know what's going on in between visits and I appreciate them. That is why I post like a crazy man when I am in shanghai. Trying to return the favor.

Onceuponatime sent me a PM right after I started the conversation about the "takers" vs givers. He wanted info from me. I told him to try posting information and gaining help. He basically posted the same PM he sent me. (real effort guy).

We need all good posters and information sharers My rules are simple for sharing.

1. low post counters don't get my help unless they have a good number of contributions vs posts. It shows they are trying.

2. I require them to post a report if I give them information. I tell them I will help them if they contribute. I explain that even their failures provide a chance for all of us to learn.

3. if they won't post they owe me a PM to tell me how it went.

4. If they don't share, they are dead to me.

When I posted the first comment, I was mad at myself when I broke my own rules to help a "one post wonder". He also crashed and burned trying to meet one of my contacts. She had contacted me to confirm him, which I did, They were having trouble communicating and I was trying to help him close the deal. He was new to shanghai. He made a lot of mistakes and I tried to let him know how to fix it. He went dark and wouldn't answer. OK. Dead to me now.

This board taught me a lot in my early days and that is what this board is about. Let's all work to make it good. If we all refuse to help, this board becomes useless to all of us.

Kankan,

I don't know of any hotels right now with in-house service. This used to be plentiful in China (as well as getting phone calls soliciting after checking in to hotels) but my recommendation would be to get familiar with the subway. This should not be too difficult as tickets & help is in English, and there are few MP's serving foreigners smack bang on subway stops what a coincidence.

Enjoy!

Went to a Sauna given to me by some girl I found on Momo. Ended up going through a huge massage place that looked closed! Except for a guard hanging around near the door. Went into a very fancy massage club with very attractive women and ushers. The massage room had a lovely sofa, massage bed, jacuzzi, bathtub, shower and round bed. They offered me tea and fruits and undressed me for a massage which I must say was very good but purely vegetarian. Then they stared to ask me for up selling services. And wanted me to take some sort of membership for ¥100,000 upwards! It took a long time with the translator app to get them to give me the price for one time entertainment and they wanted ¥5000! They kept telling me about the security and privacy of the place. They were very very pushy and would let me go and wanted ¥1300 for the massage. Even after agreeing to that price they kept trying to sell me their upscale services! Must say I was worried for a while there. Stay safe and stay smart!

Went to ChangShou twice last week and had a good session. Different girl each time and they didn't stay to share their number with me. I went back on Friday night a little earlier and I had to wait in the reception and adjoining room with 5-10 other guys waiting for their turns while smoking away. Didn't really want to wait! Realised it must have been pay day Friday for a lot of guys so I left. There are definitely more of these places around and I'm going to explore and let you know. Still good value BBBJ place. There used to be so many in Shanghai until a few years ago.

Finally got in touch with one of my contacts for "new sauna" and went to the location and he'the sent me earlier around ChangShou. Turns out there's nothing there! And he sent me another location all the way in Qibao! So I didn't go there. The location keeps changing? Finally went to another contact's sauna based on the location pin he'the sent and ended up in front of a French Hotel Chain In Minhang. Once I messaged him, he ushered meninto the hotel through a back entrance and took me into one room to select the girls and then into room to pay my bill and then I was led into the third bedroom by the girl. The service was good! She tried to simulate the Nuru and Sauna experience in the shower and I got my two shots following a good BBBJ. However, the selection isn't great! The prices have gone up to a starting of ¥1400 and the room looks like it's been used and not had a thorough cleaning after previous customers. I know this because there were used towels on the floor and they gave me some disposable towels. The girl just cleared a bin liner from the room. Definitely no change of sheets etc. I guess this is the new normal? Sneaking into he back of hotels!

Changshou. I belive he's asking for the qq handle. Most customers book thru qq.

Shaanxi. Their qq group is still active, so I belive they are still open for biz, stealth mode, maybe.

Probably because he's asking who it was (which number)- to fulfill bookkeeping duties; it would be one thing not to know, but quite another not to comprehend the question at all.

Don't think they actually ever shut down, but since there's no back door so you'd need to contact them so whoever's inside could unlock.

Onceuponatime sent me a PM right after I started the conversation about the "takers" vs givers. He wanted info from me. I told him to try posting information and gaining help. He basically posted the same PM he sent me. (real effort guy)..

I'll be back in 6 weeks so I'll report out on both Manhattan and Judy's. Unfortunately my regular hotel "Hilton"has changed hands and now I forced to find a new place to stay. My stay earlier this year was in the Pudong area and what a bummer because of the time it takes to get back to that side in town (provided you can get a taxi late in evening). I couldn't complain because I did score a couple of early 20 hotties dressed in beautiful white dresses. Can't wait to search again. Hehe.

So far, I never have been to the place you mention, but having read the reports about it tells me its not a sauna but a KJ MP.

You are definitely right. I guess I was just typing to fast and I am still a learner in this forum.

[Sinofaguo]

So far, I found only one open Sauna here in the forum (76 Changshou Rd). Is there any other place?

He always asks me something before AND after my session. Wtf is he asking me? He always seems put off. Anyway, the quality at this place is low but it is cheap and service is not bad. But I suppose this is not a news flash to anyone on here. Just want to know what that guy is asking, especially after the session. Thanks, friends.

I just took a walk to 851 hoping to see #18, but it was closed. The lights were all out and the doors were chained shut. I did not see any police tape or warnings.

Stay safe.

I'm looking for the QQ account numbers for Changshou Road and Shanxi Rd spas. I have old numbers with 9 digits. Do QQ accounts have 10 digits now?

Perfect timing as well. OnceUponATimee comes looking for help just after 3 people comment about all the 'users' on this board. OnceUponATimee has lived in Shanghai for a couple years, has 3 posts. All of which are asking for help.

This is exactly why I stopped being a regular contributor. While it doesn't take very long, it still does take time to post quality reviews. And when that goes unreciprocated it just gets to be stupid.

Cheers to all you active posters!
