xuexiansheng Posted April 22, 2013 at 02:26 AM Report Posted April 22, 2013 at 02:26 AM I'll be flying into Shanghai next week to start my month-long trip. I'm sure I will be jet lagged the first few days. (not as young as I once was... ) Anyone know of a good 洗浴/桑拿(Bathhouse/Sauna) in Shanghai? If it was close to transport (I'll be on the subway) and maybe out in the suburbs (quieter), that would be great too! Thanks Quote

Saxondale Posted April 22, 2013 at 11:27 AM Report Posted April 22, 2013 at 11:27 AM maybe he just wants a place where he can go to relax for a day or two before he really starts his trip. every time i do the trip from london to qingdao, i always feel like booking a decent hotel before i have to go back to my shitty dorm...i never do it though.

abcdefg Posted April 22, 2013 at 12:18 PM Report Posted April 22, 2013 at 12:18 PM Sounds like a good idea. Could help you out in Kunming, but I don't know Shanghai very well. Quote
anonymoose Posted April 22, 2013 at 02:41 PM Report Posted April 22, 2013 at 02:41 PM There are quite a lot in Shanghai. I don't think you'll have too much of a problem finding one. Just ask at the reception at your hotel. Quote
xuexiansheng Posted April 22, 2013 at 07:16 PM Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 at 07:16 PM @thrice12- You guessed correctly! Last year when I went to Chongqing, (18+hrs of flying in 36hrs) really took the it out of me. I had to push myself to take advantage of my limited time in Chongqing. I found a good massage helped recover my stamina and then I was off for the rest of my trip. @anonymoose- Thanks, I'll ask them if the forums don't come through with a recommendation. Quote

xuexiansheng Posted April 23, 2013 at 03:26 AM Author Report Posted April 23, 2013 at 03:26 AM @ roddy - That is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! And that is a great site. I'll have to keep that one in my bookmarks. Quote
character Posted April 23, 2013 at 11:07 AM Report Posted April 23, 2013 at 11:07 AM WRT beating Jet Lag, the latest seems to be fasting before arrival: http://harpers.org/b...o-beat-jet-lag/ [...] "Fortunately, in the past few years a team from Harvard and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has concocted a more elegant remedy: the anti–jet lag fast. The international traveler, they counsel, can avoid jet lag by simply not eating for twelve to sixteen hours before breakfast time in the new time zone—at which point, as in Ehret’s diet, he should break his fast. Since most of us go twelve to sixteen hours between dinner and breakfast anyway, the abstention is a small hardship." [...] Quote
roddy Posted April 23, 2013 at 11:29 AM Report Posted April 23, 2013 at 11:29 AM Dianping is indeed an excellent website, used to use it a lot for restaurants - link your mobile phone and you can have addresses, vouchers and recommended dishes sent to your phone with a couple of clicks. I haven't used it for a couple of years, but I never noticed any spam. Quote
Frapunchino Posted April 24, 2013 at 04:01 AM Report Posted April 24, 2013 at 04:01 AM @roddy, thanks for sharing this wonderful link, can it also be used to look for hotels ? Quote
