Kina / China: Shengyang – SPA with locals and Chinese tourists and Korean food. Our best way to experience Shengyang in North Eastern China.

The spa showed me that we do not have body shame here, and I love the culture for this. Women had our own area for hot tops and saunas and wet massages where all were naked. Very relaxed. The spa was the experience of a lifetime- do try it – and consider sleeping there, when you do. The building is 5 floors.

When you leave the area with hot tops etc, you get shorts and a tshirt and can go to saunas, massages, tea tasting, cafe and sleeping areas. Young couples and families and travelers hang out on their phones in the evening. One can stay here instead of in a hotel. The neighborhood is with lots of Korean food, and we got amazing noodle 🍜 🍄‍🟫 and a beer for 53 yen / pretty much the same in Danish currency.

That same day we also managed to do gym in the morning, eat breakfast at the morning market, experience the modern city centre with skyscrapers and do glass handicrafts 🫶🏼 plus experience a palace dressed in traditional clothes. Needless to say, it was an 18 hour day and I was exhausted afterwards.
