The New Three-Piece Set Explained
The 'New Three-Piece Set' (旅行新三件套) refers to three must-do services for foreign visitors in China: TCM massage + dental cleaning + glasses fitting.
Why these three? All are high-quality, safe, and 60-80% cheaper than in US/Europe. Combined savings of $500-1500 per trip.
TCM massage: 60-90 min full-body massage at licensed clinics. ¥150-400 ($21-56) vs $100-200 in US.
Dental cleaning: Professional scaling and polishing at international clinics. ¥200-500 ($28-70) vs $150-300 in US. Add whitening for ¥800-2000 ($112-280).
Glasses fitting: Eye exam + frames + lenses in 1-2 hours. ¥300-1500 ($42-210) vs $300-800 in US. Shenzhen and Danyang are eyewear hubs.
How to Plan Your Three-Piece Set Trip

FAQ
Can I get glasses made in one day in China?
Yes, most optical shops in major cities can make glasses in 1-2 hours for standard prescriptions. Complex prescriptions (high astigmatism, progressive lenses) may take 1-3 days. Bring your current prescription or get an eye exam on site (¥50-100).
