由 admin Ah, Foshan spas in 2020. If you’re looking for a neat, tidy list of “recommendations,” you’ve probably come to the wrong blog post, my friend. My experience that year was less about discovering hidden gems and more about wading through a whole lot of… well, let’s just call it inconsistency. It turned into quite the personal project, let me tell you.
My “practice” for figuring this out didn’t start with fancy apps or online reviews. Nah. My first step was usually just talking to people. Real locals. The kind of folks who wouldn’t just parrot some online hype. Then, I’d actually go and check these places out myself. And believe me, that was an eye-opener. A lot of walking, a lot of “nos,” a lot of just turning around at the door.
It felt like a real slog. I remember trying to find a decent spot, and it was like every other place was a gamble. You’d walk in, and the atmosphere would be just… off. Or the staff seemed like they were counting down the minutes until they could leave. I quickly learned to spot the red flags. A dusty corner here, a lukewarm welcome there. These little things told a big story.
I actually started keeping notes, more out of self-defense than anything. Just quick, rough scribbles on my phone:
- “Place A: Music too loud, felt like a nightclub. Left.”
- “Place B: Therapist kept coughing. Not ideal in 2020, eh?”
- “Place C: Tried to sell me a package before I even got my shoes off. Hard pass.”
It wasn’t about finding the ultimate luxury experience. It was about finding a place that was clean, honest, and where the people actually knew what they were doing. That was the real challenge.
You might be wondering why I put myself through all this. Well, 2020 was a pretty stressful year for everyone, right? I was in Foshan, and like many, I was looking for a way to just decompress. But the spa scene itself? It felt like a bit of a wild west. So many places popping up, but the quality was all over the map. It felt like a lot of them were just trying to make a quick buck off stressed-out people.
So, when I think about “Foshan Spa Recommendations 2020,” it’s not a list of five-star resorts. My “practice” led me to understand that you had to dig deep. You had to filter out a ton of noise. The few places I did end up going back to weren’t perfect, but they were genuine. They were the ones that survived my informal, and often frustrating, “testing” process. It was more about finding the spots that didn’t disappoint, which, let me tell you, was a victory in itself back then. I often wonder if any of those truly decent, no-nonsense places even made it through the years. Knowing how things go, probably not many.
