Kang Ding, certainly not worth the hype
Getting bored of the Pudong triangle, that is Sarcosa, Bodi and Siyuan, I thought I would head off across the river. I decided on Kang Ding due the pics of the girls and the fact it wasn't a hour in the cab into the depths of Minhang.
In retrospect not a good call. Found the place easy enough after a bit of to and fro with the mama san on wechat, close to Jing An (1 tube stop). You will need to contact her because there is no way you will find the front door, as the spa is undergoing renovations. And boy does the place need it. Probably the worst set up I have been to in Shanghai, the locker rooms, waiting room etc are very run down, as was the soapy room. Normal sauna SOP, key bangle, change into PJs, and into the waiting room. Ended up waiting for about and hour, not cool, at least I got to keep my phone with me. Got ushered in the end to the most pathetic line up ever, 5 girls all pretty normal looking, certainly not the hottest in Shanghai. Picked a t calls model as she seemed the only one vaguely interested in a loawai. Good looking girl but nothing you wouldn't find at most other saunas. Service was standard, soapy massage, cat bath, rim, BBBJ and various position ending in doggie. Girl was enthusiastic but nothing exceptional, she warmed up after with my poor attempts to speak Mandarin and was pretty sweet. No option of a second shot though. Finished up and showered and back to the dodgy change room, and then the sticker shock, even though I had been expecting it. 1580 before discount, WTF, I could have a triple at Sarcosa for that or double models at Bodi.
Did see a real belter on the way out that may have been worth the the money but I think they were hiding the best girls for the locals.
All in all a disappointing trip across the river.
