Shenzhen Spa Guide: Find Your Perfect Spa Today!
Okay, so I was in Shenzhen a while back. Felt completely beat, you know? Work, the travel, just everything piling up. Decided I really needed to unwind, like properly switch off. A spa day seemed like the right call. Hadn’t really done one in Shenzhen before, so it was kind of a new thing for me there.
Finding the Spot
Didn’t have any recommendations, so I just did what everyone does, scrolled around on my phone a bit. Saw a few places, some looked super fancy, others more low-key. Honestly, the choices were a bit much. Didn’t want anything too complicated. Ended up picking one that looked decent enough and wasn’t crazily priced. Location seemed okay too, not too far from where I was staying. Just booked it through an app, pretty straightforward actually.
Getting There and Checking In
Finding the actual place took a minute, typical Shenzhen sometimes, tucked away a bit. Walked in, and it was pretty quiet, smelled nice, kinda herbal-like. The check-in was quick. They confirmed my booking, asked if I wanted water or tea. Standard stuff. They showed me the menu again, just to be sure.
- Oil Massage
- Thai Style
- Hot Stone thingy
I just stuck with a basic aromatherapy oil massage. Figured I couldn’t go wrong with that. Seemed the most relaxing option, and I wasn’t feeling adventurous.
The Spa Treatment Itself
So they led me to the room. It was dim, calming music playing softly. Got changed into those disposable shorts things, always feel a bit silly in them. Then lay down on the table. The therapist came in, didn’t say much, which was fine by me. Just confirmed the pressure, I asked for medium.
The massage started. Have to say, it was good. She knew what she was doing. Got all the knots out of my shoulders, felt like I’d been carrying bricks around. The oil smelled nice too, lavender I think. It wasn’t rushed. Just solid, steady pressure. Almost drifted off a few times. It’s funny how you don’t realize how tense you are until someone starts working on those muscles. Felt like my whole back just loosened up.
Afterwards
When it was done, she quietly left the room so I could get myself together. Took my time getting dressed. Felt way lighter. Walked back out to the reception area. They offered some tea and little biscuit things. Sat there for a bit, just zoning out. Didn’t feel like rushing back out into the city noise immediately.
Paid up, wasn’t too bad price-wise, definitely felt worth it at that moment. Stepped back outside, and yeah, Shenzhen was still buzzing, but I felt way more chilled out. Like my battery had been recharged a bit. Definitely something I’d do again when I’m feeling stressed out there. It’s a simple thing, but man, it makes a difference sometimes.
