Since I will be flying out next Friday to return to China I thought I would post this long overdue FR to clear the decks for hopefully more forthcoming ones.
I was in Shanghai last October for the tail end of an 8 day tour. Stayed at this hotel called the Piao Ying which is on the corner of Tian Tong Road and Zhapu Road. It's 5 minutes from the Russian consulate and a bridge that leads to the northernmost point of the Bund. I started scouting for BBS in particular on the second night. If I had signed up for the forum sooner I probably would have tried to explore other options. Turns out that there are 8 massage parlors to be found on Zhapu, 6 alone on one block from Tian Tong to the next cross street, Wuchang. One of these 6 is on Tian Tong and on the right side of a convenience store across from the Piao Ying, while another is on the store's left! The others are further down. Two are on the next block over going north and there's nothing after that. There are a couple bars on Zhapu and KTV places on cross streets, but I didn't scope either of these venues out. The Piao Ying itself has a whole floor devoted to a sauna as well as a club/bar area, but I only went to the first and left after they said they didn't speak English.
The odd thing about these massage parlors is that they are scattered right in there with other businesses around them. Some are even across the street from each other. So you could conceivably go out to dinner, walk into the massage parlor next door, then pick up the groceries from the corner market. I noticed that they were open by 19:30. No idea if they open later as I only scoped out Zhapu Road at night. On the other hand, by 02:00 they are practically the only places still open. They have signs that say "massage" or likely something to that effect in Chinese, but the thing to look for of course is if the women are dressed in minskirts and haltertops or something similar and are sitting around on couches. The legit places on the other hand have several massage chairs clearly visible with masseuses in street clothes. Out of the 8 I checked out 5 and sampled the services of 3 over 2 nights. Prices ranged from 130 RMB to 700 with 400 RMB apparently being the going rate. They know enough English to tell you how much sex costs, but they may have trouble discussing anything more complicated than that. After indicating that I was there for sex I noticed that afterwards, a girl will volunteer to service you. I don't know if this is because they rotate or personally like the look of you. Another thing compared to my massage parlor experiences in Thailand and Macau is that a shower usually isn't included as these places don't have the facilities. They just lead you into a room and you have at it.
On the first night me and my friend who I was traveling with hit Zhapu at 01:30. I found from the place across the street with the immobile barber pole that they were 130 RMB, but only one girl was available, so we kept walking. Several of the other places only had one girl available too, so settled on the one on the second block on the west side which had several. They quoted us at 400 RMB. My friend tried to talk them down, but it didn't work. So he got the one with big tits who was doing the talking and they went upstairs. I got a tall, slim one named Yi Sha and we went in back. I’d rate her at a 6. Got taken to the first room which had a bed, closet, and the girls' jackets on wall hooks. I didn't like the look of the bed, so I asked for another room and got taken next door. We got down to business and it was quick, since I unfortunately set my own speed record after she mounted me. So we then went back outside and I waited for my friend to finish up. He came down after 15 minutes, I settled my bill, then he quickly came back to look for his watch. Didn't find it in the room he was in, and it wasn't in our hotel room. He couldn't remember taking it off or if his girl had taken it off and jacked it, but this is likely. It was a gift, too. Felt bad for him, but he kicked himself over it as he normally doesn't monger.
The second night I went out by myself as my friend was feeling sick. Went out earlier, around 22:00. I wanted to try this one place that was the nicest looking out of the 8, having a marble foyer. However when I got there the girls were having dinner, so I walked around for a bit and then some more as they were still eating when I checked back again twice. Meanwhile some Western tourists are getting foot massages from the legit parlor next to them. I finally entered the place right after another group of Western tourists took a pic of the girls inside, pissing them off. So when I came in they were not in a good mood. They quoted me at 700 RMB, but I only had 600 in my wallet. So I tried to tell them that and back out, but they got impatient due to the language barrier so I just walked out. As I was doing so, one of them yelled "lao wei" at me, so in I flipped them off and kicked their busted door shut to more bitching. They didn't follow me out into the street.
Went diagonally across the street to another MP. A young looking girl opened the door for me and I ended up getting her. Said she was 19 but looked like a schoolgirl. 5.5 I’d say. Was taken up a flight of stairs to where the massage chairs are for the legit customers, and past a locked door up another set of stairs to her room. We got down to business and things got off to a good start as there was a little foreplay involved before she slipped the condom on and started blowing me. Unfortunately I came even faster than last night. She then had me turn over, put her bra on and gave me a back massage. I knew I’d be good for a long round now, so I asked if I could have a second go. She called the mama-san on her cell phone, I explained what I had in mind and she relayed that to the girl. For some reason the concept got her so upset that she dressed and stormed out. I think she just wanted to get things over with quickly and wasn’t expecting something like this, probably still new to the biz. A second girl was sent up to replace her.
Now you’d think that I got to have a go with this one, but that didn’t turn out to be the case in the end. For some reason I was confused on the pricing I was quoted, thinking that 800 RMB for the second shot included the first one as well, not 800 in itself. So I went downstairs, paid for my BJ, walked back to the hotel and got 400 and came back. The second girl took me all the way up to her room in the attic, where she then got naked. I was down to my boxers before I finally realized that the 800 meant another 800. What followed was a comedy of sorts as I tried to sort things out with the mama-san on the girl's cell phone, while she was there all naked grabbing my arm and begging me to bang her. She didn’t speak a word of English. I wish I had gotten her first as aside from her face (looked to be in her mid to late 30s), she had a much better body than the first, nice hourglass. After they sent up a second girl thinking I wanted a replacement, I said forget it, got dressed and went downstairs. The first girl had bailed or probably gone into hiding since they told me that she had to go home (she lives there, doesn’t she?) as they thought I still wanted her. Apologized and left. I figured that for just another 400 I could get FS again vs. the 800 here for the second shot.
Went to check out the lone place on the corner of Zhapu and Tian Tong with the pink lighting that had first caught my eye the previous night. However the cops had pulled a cab over right across the street, so I walked around the block first, then went in after they had left. Was quoted at 400 RMB by a short, average looking girl in a cut down white cheongsam (those form-fitting Chinese dresses) and matching knee high boots. I thought she was the mama-san because of her assertiveness, but turned out that she was volunteering herself. I’d put her as a 5. Now I made a mistake here because I was asked to pay upfront. One of the other girls took the money to the hotel next door, where we went. Lobby was empty except for a couple people, all female. We went upstairs to a second floor room where I was surprised to see a middle aged woman come out and then a similarly aged man follow her. The bed was all mussed up and the bathroom was used. I think though that they were the folks who ran the MP because I don’t see how the hell anyone would pay to bang the woman. Me and my girl got down to business. I cut her off a little early from the CBJ as I didn’t want to come too soon again, but since I already had blown too quickly earlier that night, it turned out I was good for at least another hour. Gave her a workout and worked up a sweat myself, but was unable to finish. Doggystyle seemed to work the best, but the smell from her unwashed ass was a turnoff, so I had to do her mish to avoid it. After 45 minutes or so she stopped and claimed that time was up, and that it was 100 RMB more for a HJ to finish. Tried to argue with her that the analog hands on my watch are broken and that there was still time, to no avail. Ended up having to help her by jacking myself off while she licked one of my nipples. She then rinsed off my lower body in the bathroom and we got the bed wet drying off. The bitch then claimed that it was 100 more for the hotel room, but I pulled out my wallet to show her that I had no more RMBs left and told her I’d get some more. In retrospect I could or should have just called it a night, but being a fool I did go back to get the 100 and returned to the MP with it. She asked me to come back the next day, but told her I had to fly out that morning. So that turned out to be 600 RMB total for a 400 job. Although I did get ripped off, in thinking about it I still like her attitude otherwise – she was enthusiastic and probably called a halt because she was getting tired and/or sore. Remarked a few times, “you good,” since I was unable to blow while fucking her. So that was how 1,000 RMB went in a night. Worth it for the entertainment value alone, I think over a few hours.
Overall over the 2 nights it was not the best time I could have had in Shanghai while I was there, from reading the other reports here. I was limited in what I could do since my friend and I were there as part of a tour group that does state that if anyone on the tour is found to have used pros while on tour that they can get kicked off. So we only really had 1 day and night after the tour finished, and I was working on the info I got based on the reports section of mpnet, not the forum. Could not take someone back to my hotel room on the second night because my friend was there sleeping. The first night we came back from having drinks in Pudong and were going out for breakfast with the other folks on the tour the next morning. If I do return to Shanghai (I am not doing so on this trip), I will try out the other available options.
