Work getting you stressed? Or maybe you just want to relace at the end of a long week. Those new to Beijing may have missed the ultimate weekend relaxer (and no, I don't mean Long Island Iced Teas!) Why not pay a weekend visit to your local foot-massage chain? There should be one nearby that just offers foot-massage - ignore the big, higher class full-massage joints - and if you go before 6:00pm it should only cost you around RMB60 for an hour to an hour and a half of foot-pummelling bliss! A great way to unwind.
