Immediately after we stepped into this calming sanctuary on Donghu Lu, we were transported to an oasis of peace and indulgence. The bright and airy reception area was welcoming and staff members greeted us with tea and comfortable seats. Taipan Oriental offers a complete spa service, with an extensive massage and facial offering through to delicate nail art manicures. After talking through the many massage options, we chose one that promised to heal our tired and weary bodies through Taipan Oritenal’s signature techniques to clear the circulation system, stimulate blood circulation and balance both mental and physical status. We were also promised that the invigorating massage would improve our metabolism and release toxins. As we were lead away by our expert massage specialist to begin the treatment, we looked forward to the many other health benefits the massage could bring.
Taipan Oriental Massage and Spa boasts 22 rooms with single, double, group and suite options. Each body massage and facial room is equipped with personal showers and bathroom facilities. It is also possible to book out the larger massage rooms for spa parties with a group of friends.
After we had changed and showered, our massage began. As the Jurlique Lavender body oil was rubbed into our tired, knotted shoulders, we felt the stress of the day melt away. The firm fingered masseuse then set to work healing our weary backs, arms and legs. The pressure was hard but we had already been advised that this massage might cause a little pain however we would reap the rewards of this cleansing massage for days to come.
After our de-stressing massage had come to an end, we decided to indulge in a little nail art after the shiny OPI nail stand and brightly colored display of the Nail Spa caught our eyes. Taipan Oriental boasts a wide selection of nail colors from the industry standard nail polish brand. There is also a display of different nail art designs to chose from before the nail technician gets to work with her paint brush and bright varnishes. Although this service may be time consuming, it is an intricate and precise process that Taipan Oriental takes extremely seriously. Manicure prices start from RMB 90.
After our pampering session at Taipan Oriental we felt refreshed, regenerated, and fierce, ready to face a night on the tiles at Donghu Lu.
