  • If you're staying in Beijing for a longer period, or if you have a little extra time – go and visit a hairdresser. Not to get a new hair-cut (that can be too adventurous), but to try how hair washing looks like in China.
    Don't go to a posh and famous hairdresser, just visit some local salon, were the prices are really cheap and atmosphere is great. For only 10 RMB you will get a hair wash (never saw anyone washing the hair like they do!), half hour of massage (head, neck, arms, hands, back) and a hair dry. For 5 RMB extra you can also get a haircut.
    Definitely worth trying!
