One of the perks about spending time in China is the low cost and sometimes high quality of the local massage industry. The problem is that I'm not looking for some cut-rate prostitute...I just want a massage and perhaps a foot rub thank you. I have a much cuter girlfriend that most of the women giving massages, anyways, thank you. ;-)

While in Shanghai I found a great massage place across the street from my hotel. The Meridianic Massage at 2/f Building 6 Lane 800 Huashan Road +86.21.62269278 is excellent. I saw masseuse #32 and with a grand opening special it costs RMB 90 for an hour back massage followed by an hour foot massage.

My question for the moment is whether anyone can recommend a good, clean, massage parlor in central Beijing. I'm staying near the Grand Hyatt (but not there, I'm not rich) and feel comfortable taking the subway.
