    English-friendly host, clear duration. We added two more stops to the same-day trip after this.

  • Olivia P.★★★★

    Ask advisor locked a same-week slot when online booking looked full. Recommend that path.

    Booking window and deposit notes were exactly what the studio asked. Smooth handoff.

Guide Q&A

Is TCM massage safe for first-timers?

For typical tourist pressure levels, yes. Tell the therapist about injuries and ask for lighter pressure.

Do I tip?

Tipping is uncommon in China. Paying the listed price is enough.

Can I use Alipay?

Yes — QR codes are standard. See /prep/alipay-setup.
