Beijingers will be familiar with Bodhi on Gongti, but the massage specialists have forged ahead by opening a new and snazzier location up on Liangmaqiao Lu.

Like the original branch, Bodhi Sense draws inspiration from both Thai and Chinese culture, but boasts an added touch of luxury.

There are ten foot-massage rooms and an additional ten treatment rooms, all exquisitely decorated. Their specialty is the soothing foot spa package (RMB 198/80mins). Packages start from a very reasonable RMB 450 for two hours, but as they've recently opened, they're offering discounts of 20-60 percent off all services, which is rather tempting indeed.
