My last visit to HZ city was a while back, when I spent the last X’mas and new year eve with ErZi from ADF – here’s EZ account of our last new year eve ( http://samleong.shop/interna...dg-2009-a.html). We also checked out Longmen Hot Spring |
Just want to add my 0.5cents worth. The thing to note here is that, the way to the hotspring was then full of pot holes due to overladden trucks transporting cement from the nearby cement factories. I think the SUV we traveled in had get a major overhaul for the suspension after that trip.

...Nankunsan that used to be the local favorite and the place literally packed with locals during weekend. It used to be a very happening place, with BBSs all over the small resort town and s/t at 100 a pop – but it suffered from a major YD three years back and never quite recovered. EZ and myself found the picking to be slim when we were last there about two years ago when we heard rumor that things may have improved. ...

NKS brought back some fond memories, sitting at the biscuit factory waiting for the gals to be delivered, the hike at the Nature Reserve and taking a piss down the mountain at the pavilion, riding on the Yahama 125cc bike up and down the mountain and somehow, a tune stuck into my mind like a broken record - "She'll be going round the mountain when she comes... She'll be going round the mountain when she comes..."

I still remember the first time I tried the motorised bed in the S/N, I had a hard time trying to synchronise with the rhythm, and after awhile, I felt kinda dizzy...

Not as institutionalised, but then again, I didn't find the decent foot massage any lower in terms of massage standards. Maybe the hardware is not as good as some of those in DG, but I did always get very good service no frills foot rub, which sometimes is all I want.
There are a couple of "hanky panky" foot massage which I wouldn't recommend, a waste of time and $$ and no point la

Totally agree, I was lucky to get an "exception" which subsequently the next nite LT also verified & certified.

Thus, must always ask mummy which MMs will go out. I found out the hard way when a nice MM did not want to go back with me after one X’mas eve celebration – almost have to pcc until mummy found a replacement – who turned out to be a recent “returnee” from her tour of duty to Malaysia...

Was this the night that you went ballastic with that bad attitude driver who was said to be the relative of the boss? And my somewhat "siao char bor" gal walked all the way out in the dark road and finally met us at the supper place? And the "siao char bor" gal kept changing her mind whether she wants or don't want to go with me... Oh what a christmas nite that was!

Some of the local big brands like TCL are also there. Some companies even go to the extent of engaging foreign consultant to provide consultancy for the operations there. Not forgetting that HZ is actually quite a big area, I once gave specific information to a friend on the best way of getting to and fro which saved my friend alot of hassle.
