At first the coughing and occasional exasperated sighs of our masseuse at Ganzhi Blindman Massage is offputting, but we can tell that this was a good massage (68RMB/hour) by how thirsty we are afterwards – a sign of increased circulation to blocked up areas releasing toxins into the blood. The branch on Beijing Xi Lu, one of five dotted around Jingan and Pudong, is a subterranean warren of massage rooms – you do get your own room, but they are tiny and a bit grubby. The place is popular with Chinese women, a good indication of professional massages and no funny business.
