Alright, so folks sometimes hit me up, asking, “Yo, where’s the most ‘open’ bathhouse in Shenzhen?” And I gotta say, first thing that pops into my head is, what in the world do you really mean by ‘open’?
See, I’ve been around this city for a good while. I’ve seen places come and go. When I first heard people talking about ‘open’ spots, I figured, okay, they mean modern, right? Maybe super late hours, or like, a really chill vibe where nobody’s judging, you can just relax. Maybe tons of different pools, international crowd, that sort of thing. That was my honest first thought.
So, I did my own little tour. Not like I was on a mission for anything weird, just curious, you know? I asked a few buddies, checked out some places that had a bit of a buzz. My first stop was this massive place. Looked impressive from the outside, all glitzy. Inside, yeah, it was big. Lots of different tubs, steam rooms, the works. But ‘open’? It just felt… big. And crowded. And honestly, a bit impersonal. You paid your money, you got your soak, that was it. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of ‘openness’ for me. Just a large-scale operation.
Then I tried a smaller, more ’boutique’ joint. People said it was more ‘refined’. Okay, it was cleaner, maybe a bit quieter. But the atmosphere? Felt kinda stiff, actually. Like everyone was trying too hard to be cool or something. Not exactly the ‘open’ and relaxed vibe I was hoping for. More like ‘open for a very specific type of client’.
I went to a couple of other spots too, over time. Some were old school, some tried to be super new-age. And you know what I started to realize? This whole ‘open’ thing is a bit of a slippery word. Most of these places, they’re businesses. They’re ‘open’ to take your cash, that’s for sure. They might have fancy lobbies, a dozen types of tea, or waterfalls that look cool on Instagram. But that real, genuine ‘openness’ where you just feel comfortable and everything is straightforward? That’s harder to find than you’d think.
What I reckon is, a lot of the whispers about ‘open’ places are talking about stuff that ain’t really my scene, if you catch my drift. I was just looking for a good, clean place to unwind, have a proper steam, and not feel like I was in a factory or a museum. A place where the staff are decent and the facilities are well-kept, without all the hype or dodgy undertones.
So, if you’re asking me for a name, like, “the number one most open” spot… honestly, I can’t give you one that fits some magical definition of ‘open’. It really depends on what you’re looking for. My advice? Don’t chase the hype. I found a couple of regular, no-frills places that are just honest. They do what they say on the tin. Good facilities, fair price, no weirdness. For me, that’s ‘open’ enough. They’re open for a good, clean relaxation. And that’s all I ever wanted from a bathhouse anyway.
