After getting all hung up about our first pickleball experience in Shenzhen for some time, we finally nailed it down this weekend. The court turned out to be pretty nice, and the best part is that it’s in the heart of Shenzhen just a very short walk from the subway station. Needless to say, we were already looking into our next game there.
I’ve already lined up an oil spa treatment after the game for all parties concerned. For convenience's sake, the spa was arranged close to our pickleball court to keep travel time to a minimum.
Situated at AVIC City Junshang Shopping Centre (中航城君尚購物中心), Lacuna (空棲) Spa offers spa treatments at reasonable prices. They have several locations across Shenzhen, most of them inside commercial buildings. This branch stood out for its convenient location inside a large shopping mall, which made it much easier to plan for dining and shopping after the treatment.
The spa was pretty small, with fewer than 10 private rooms. We checked in at reception first, and it didn’t take long before we found a package we liked.
The one I chose was a 50-minute oil massage priced at ¥209. After getting changed in my room, I lay down on the bed and waited for my therapist to arrive. Next came a five-minute sound-healing session, where I heard the therapist striking some kind of metal bowl. The resonant sound filled the room and came through to my ears. There was also a faint scent of flowers gently wafting onto my face to complement the sound.
At that point, I was so relaxed I was ready to fall asleep. 😴😴 Then the oil treatment began, with my therapist starting the countdown on the timer.
That was the last thing I remembered before I regained consciousness. ☺️☺️ It was a highly relaxing experience for both my body and mind. As my memory started coming back, I got my kid to pick up from school — thousands of miles away in Hong Kong.
Some snacks and a dessert soup before we settled our bills.
I’ve had a number of massage experiences in Shenzhen, and while this one wasn’t the most prestigious, it definitely represented the best value for money. Full marks to my therapist for applying just the right amount of pressure to my aching body — fatigue from the exercise. The technique, strength, and pressure points were all perfect. Happy times.
