Hummingbird Therapeutic: Retreat to Central Park

After years of waiting, Eastern and Western massage have finally found a happy union in the aromatic hot stone massage (RMB 680 for 60 min). The masseuse starts by placing heated stones along your meridians, and after gently uncovering parts of your body, she dabs you with a “poultice” – heated Balinese stones wrapped in muslin and heated in shea butter infused with medicinal herbs and essential oils.

Your first response is to flinch, but a split second later your clenched muscles relax, allowing for even deeper relaxation as the masseuse uses the hot poultice in long, flowing strokes before following up by hand on spots of tension. Hummingbird has a range of therapeutic massages starting at RMB 150-225, and also offers facials, waxing and manicures.
