由 admin Alright, so yesterday I was dead set on finding a decent spa in Foshan. My back was killing me, and honestly, I just needed to chill. Here’s how my little adventure went down.
First off, I hit up Google. Typed in “Foshan spa,” “Foshan massage,” you know, the usual suspects. Got a ton of hits, mostly in Chinese, which, let’s be honest, I can barely read. So, I started scrolling through the ones with English names or pictures that looked promising.
Pro-tip: Don’t just click the first thing you see. I learned that the hard way once and ended up in a place that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, I narrowed it down to three places based on their photos and reviews (used Google Translate a lot!). One looked super fancy, one seemed like a good value, and the third was somewhere in between. I decided to go with the middle ground – didn’t want to break the bank, but also didn’t want to risk ending up in a questionable establishment.
Next step: figuring out how to get there. Baidu Maps is your friend in China. I plugged in the address, checked the bus routes, and saw that I could take a bus that dropped me off pretty close. Public transport it is!
The bus ride was… an experience. Crowded, noisy, but hey, that’s China. Got off at the stop, walked for about 10 minutes, and finally found the place. It was tucked away in a side street, but the sign was big and obvious, so I couldn’t miss it.
Walking in, it was actually pretty nice. Clean, smelled good, and the staff greeted me with a smile (even though my Mandarin is terrible). I managed to communicate that I wanted a massage, and they showed me the different options. Went for a standard massage, nothing too crazy.
- The masseuse was skilled! Found all the knots in my back and worked them out.
- The place was clean and comfortable.
- The price was reasonable.
All in all, it was a good experience. Would I go back? Definitely. It wasn’t the fanciest spa I’ve ever been to, but it got the job done, and I left feeling relaxed and refreshed.
My verdict: If you’re in Foshan and need a good massage, do your research, read the reviews, and don’t be afraid to explore the smaller, less touristy places. You might just find a hidden gem!
