If you are still a newcomer to China you may not know about blind man massage. There are little "clinics" all over the city where blind people offer massage service. The quality of massage varies from place to place, and from masseuse to masseuse. Prices range from 30-45 rmb for an hour massage in most places. It can be a great way to relax after a hard day's work! It is also the first place I always bring visitors when they arrive in Beijing.
