Harbin Dongbei, NorthEast China

[Huzige]

It has been a long while since I posted anything in SBF, but I thought the info from my present trip maybe of some use to other cheongsters who may be planning a trip to this part of the world. This is a trip by the “Gang of Four” – with LaoTie (LT) & ErZi (EZ) of the infamous ADF (for those who are “old” enough to know us). Unfortunately “Uncle” and “God-son” were not able to make it to the trip, and LT’s two cheonging friends from Beijing made up the Gang of Four. This is more of a travelogue – just skip the boring parts if you are looking for cheonging info only.


Pre-trip (HuMen, Dongguan)

LT (traveling from GZ) & EZ (traveling from Macau) met up in HM in Dongguan about three weeks ago for business meetings. We had a few Singaporean ladies traveling with us, but managed to sneak away to check out our favorite SN that borders CA & HM, but was disappointed that all they offered was foot-massage due to the ongoing “YanDa (YD)” – however, the captain did give us another contact in CA proper where they still have actions but we decided to pass since we “lacked” the time. The captain told us they should be back in business in a “few days” time – we subsequently spoke to a couple of MMs and they confirmed this.

But my local Taiwanese friend made sure we did not miss out any action in HM. He made the appointment with the mummy at the SN he frequents (actually at the hotel we were staying) for some post-business meetings relaxation (after our Singaporean ladies biz partners have gone to bed). We then found out the main floor of the SN is officially closed (must show respect to authorities) but the rooms on two other floors were opened for regulars who called. It was passed midnight when we were there and we viewed more than 20 MMs. The charges are the usual RMB400/500/600 the 600 being the “model” grade (usually mean taller ladies and not necessary prettier or better service) plus the room charge (RMB200). I picked a 400-grade SYT, newly trained and I left very sextisfied – she made up her lack of experience (but not lack of trying) with her GFE. BTW, the deal here is you can bonk and cum as many times as you can in the two hours allocated – the two hours actually start after the MM has bathed and shower you like you never have been since you were a baby, and the horny ones and MM with good service attitude could possibly have one round already during the shower.


Beijing to Heihe

We left HM unplugged and traveled to BJ to meet up with our two local cheongster friends, Guangtou (GT) and Laoniu (LN) – both are the “new rich” & divorced – and therefore shared our cheongsters’ interests. I took the opportunity to catch up with many old friends, while I let GT took EZ to get him “initiated” to a typical cheong-scene in northern China – the bath-house. They went to a place outside the BJ city limit and popular with the locals in an area called Yanjiao. We heard that it was also under YD’s radar a few days ago due to the upcoming 60th anniversary of the founding of the “new” China. But then, someone has to feed the MMs and like one taxi driver commented – it’s business as usual – these places just need to put on a show and stay low profile. Indeed, from what I heard from EZ, the MMs at the place he visited were kept separated in another room. That was not the case when I visited the same place a year ago – during that time, all the MMs paraded themselves in the “Resting Room” (where customers can have their drinks and foot massage) and try to entice you with their special skills.

We flew from BJ to HH – only one direct flight a day for the four hours trip that included a stopover in Harbin. HH is a border town across the Heilongjiang River (Black Dragon River, aka Amur River in Russia) from the Russian town of Blagoveshchensk and you can literally see Russia from here. The town is also very popular with the Russian tourists, but GT who has been here before noted that there are a lot less Russian tourists this year due to the economic crisis.

We checked with the locals and found that there are no BBS, but there are “ZuYu足浴(ZY)” that we subsequently found are quite common SOP in northern part of Heilongjiang. We were told some of these ZY places offer special services for the third leg. Most of these look rather run down and did not give us much encouragement to do a more detailed survey. But we had a closer look at the other option – these are the massage places at the hotels. We checked out the one at the hotel we were staying and saw a few MMs that we would want to get to know better. But we were told they only provide straight massage and no more. The manageress then told us she could introduce us to MMs who can provide special language lessons in the privacy of our hotel rooms. We waited in my room in anticipation and three came – all petite SYTs about 18-21. I took a cute 18yo who claimed to be a student from Jiamusi and in HH studying at the Fine Arts College. Although cute and chatty, unfortunately I found that she is in a hurry claiming that it is getting late and need to return to her dormitory. WTF, I thought it is summer holidays! Needless to say, I wasn’t too sextisfied.

Our stay in HH was prolonged by the requirements of “Certificate of Health Examination for International Traveller” – this is a comprehensive booklet containing health statement that even include blood test for HIV!. You need this to cross the border. You can get this before arrival in HH (not sure if you can get this in Singapore, but definitely available in other major Chinese cities) in order to save the time – otherwise, you need 3-days and costs RMB330 although you can get the same-day “Express Service” for an extra RMB100. I suspect this is a Chinese requirement since we subsequently found that the Russian never asked for it. However, GT told me the Vietnamese at the Sino-Viet land border crossing also asked for this when he was there last year, and he ended up paying the “greasing fee” to get through.

(continuing)

From Russia with love?

You can actually see Blagoveshchensk (Chinese called it BuShi) from the bank of HH that is also filled with local tourists and some from across the River. The close proximity of HH & BLS is reflected by the 10 minutes ferry ride. I was told it is even faster by bus on the frozen ice during winter. However, we had a 3-hours experience clearing the Immigration & Customs on arrival at BLS – all because of the total inefficiency of the local authority, as well as the very discrimatory practice of clearing the local Russians first. It definitely made a very bad impression on all of us, visiting Russia for the first time! Note that BLS is two hours ahead of HH by time zone.

We did the tourist things by driving around to get a feel of the agricultural base economy. Interestingly, in a country that is supposed to have right-hand traffic, the majority of the “newer” vehicles appear to be that for left-hand traffic. We were told these are all recon second-hand vehicles imported from Japan. We checked out the bank of the river where locals came to enjoy the sun since this part of the country is freezing cold for most part of the year. We were also introduced to the common local (national?) drink called “kbac” or “kvac” that’s being sold from pressurized keg in just about every street corner in summer. It is a common home brew of weak dark beer made from fermented rye bread. GT who is never adventurous thinks it tastes like toilet water. But EZ and myself thought it is not too shabby, especially during the hot weather – giving same thirst quenching experience associated with beer! But for EZ and me, the fun was deciding which spot has the prettiest or friendliest gal selling kbac – some turned out to be extremely friendly and even posed for photos, but unfortunately language is a real problem – but in reality most of them are just school kids on holidays and will probably land us in jail if we had any encounters of the intimate kind.

The most popular spot for tourists is the promenade on the waterfront along the bank of the Amur River overlooking HH – and HH looks quite pretty at night on the opposite bank. In the evening, it is near the Victory Square close to the promenade where we found a couple of vans filled with Russian gals who seem to be all dressed up (some with too much makeup) but no where to go. Our interpreter told us this is the standard operandus modi – these ladies are on display and they will be delivered to a mutually agreed place to provide the service of the intimate kind. However, we were told we could not take them back to the 4-stars hotel that we were staying – they will be stopped by the security. Well, we were not impressed by what we saw and were then taken to a local sauna place – supposedly one of the better ones, but it is no where near the luxurious setup for SN that we are all accustomed to in China. The place reminds me more of the Geylang set up, with a bar and minimalistic furniture design. The rooms have so called spa facilities. The joint that we visited has a madam (who has that classic madam look that we saw in some of the cowboy movies – heavy in size and with overkilling makeup) and four gals. We were not impressed and the madam called for more re-enforcements – more gals came, all by the vans. I would rate them anywhere from 2 to 7 in the 20+ gals that were brought in. EZ and myself were not tempted by any – maybe we were looking for ones similar to the grade we saw on the promenade. But GT decided he needs his “western meal” and the damage was 4000RussianRuble (S$182) for the gal and 300Rub (S$14) to the madam for the use of the facilities.

We then took the 14 hours train ride from BLS to Khabarovsk (Chinese called it KaBa) that is supposedly the second largest city in the Russian Far East after Vladivostok. Time here is an hour ahead of BLS and we stayed at a hotel conveniently located next to the Lenin Square – the main square of the city. From here it is also within walking distance to the Amur River where the promenade is very popular with both locals and tourists. We saw many topless ladies sun tanning on the bank, but all have the nipples covered by small cap (to beat the law?) We find the city not too tourist-friendly and getting around without interpreter is a pain. We were also checked by police – so, visitors are advised to carry their passports with them at all times. There is a sizeable Chinese community here and the huge Chinese market stretches a couple of kilometers, all filled with “Made-In-China” products ranging from jeans to nuts & bolts.

Our interpreter/driver told us the SOP to get gals in KB is similar to BLS – that is, you need to have the contacts to have the gals brought over (yes, you guess it, in the vans) to wherever mutually agreed. Again, we cannot bring the gal to our hotel. The interpreter introduced us to one of his Chinese friends with contacts and we ended up in a place called Grand Restaurant that is close to the Chinese market. The place even provide car cleaning services, and has a bar with pool tables on the ground floor, and rooms on the upper floors for rent by the hour. The cost is 1200Rub (S$55) per hour which is somewhat pricey even though the room I had was humongous, about twice the size of a normal hotel room. I was told alternatives are the many so called sauna establishments mostly operated by Russians associated with criminal gangs. Most of these gangs also controlled the gals, housing them in apartments and providing the subsistence, with the gals getting only Rub500(S$23) of the Rub3500(S$160) that I paid for the gal’s one hour amusements.

I saw five gals and I would rate them 4 to 7 – but then, I am not a big fan of western meal. I chose Ima mainly because she’s one of the better looking ones – tall and smiles a lot. As an added bonus, I subsequently found that she speaks a bit of English – enough for us to communicate with more than body language. That may mean she was telling me the truth when she said she is a university student studying Design at the local Khabarovsk State University of Technology, or it could mean she has many English speaking admirers. But since we saw very few foreigners in the city, other than Chinese, the former may be true.

Ima is 21yo, nice body but only B boobs. She has a typical Russian girl-next-door look without any makeup. But she is extremely shy and would not share the shower. She came out of the bathroom with towel firmly wrapped on her body, and insisted on turning off all the lights – including the ones in the bathroom! It would have been pitch black if the TV was also turned off. She only give BJ and insisted on using the CDs she brought, and did a reasonably good job with plenty of deep throating. She was surprised that she did not finish me off then, as we moved to more conventional engagements. However, I was equally surprised when she insisted on going to shower half an hour latter. So, even though she is a nice gal who appears to try her best, it wasn’t exactly a top-notch bonking experience. Maybe the Rub500 that she supposedly actually get can explain this, but who knows.

My personal experience is such that other than the novelty of bonking a white Russian gal on Russian soil, I’ll get much better deal somewhere else, including China. You can get more fun and value for money deal from the Russian gals from Beijing’s Hollywood at their clean apartments for RMB800 (S$170)! But of course Macau is another story.

We returned to China by taking the 1.5hr boat ride from KB to Fuyang in Heilongjiang Province. FY is a small sleepy border town that is supposedly the top-most and eastern-most part of China, and we heard it is destined to be the next hot spot for tourism development after the Chinese and Russian settled their 40-yo border dispute last year. We heard that the returned areas will be designated “special areas” where even casinos will be allowed, with all kind of associated entertainment to attract foreign visitors. There is a railroad currently being built to link it to Harbin - so maybe one of these days cheongsters will be often seen on them traveling into the town for cheong sessions like we see them on the ShenGuan Express taking them to CP these days!!!

But right now, the cheong-scene in FY is somewhat limited although the local taxi driver claimed that there are plans to congregate the ZYs in one street. Will introduce FY and other towns in Dongbei in my next update on this thread.

Thumbs up bro Huzige! Just when I'm also researching on this part of China.

Please continue your good work.

[yanz]

excellent input.

[lavie]

Wow it has been so long time since last saw Huzige..... very interesting read indeed. Cheers !!

[kingx3]

bro, huizige

very informative, used to freqent Donguan CP quite regularly,now after reading your fr, may be planning one northward as I do generally prefer northern chinese gal(who are much taller and bigger size than southern) and definitely the russian chicks too. but the price seem to be high too.

waiting eagerly for your next installment

[Huzige]

Bros Tony Stark, yanz, lavie & kingx3 – thanks for the kind words. I’ll definitely find time to complete the writeup for the Dongbei part of our trip. We actually traveled from FY to Jiamusi, Harbin, Changcun and Shenyang, but didn’t have the time to make it to Dalian as I need to be in Qingdao for an important biz meeting.

Bro lavie – long time no see. I’ve not been spending as much time in China as I used to in the past, but still find time to visit it occasionally while keeping a low profile. And whenever possible, I also try to revisit other less popular areas such as Zhongshan (Tanzhou & Sanxiang) that I am currently at. We must try to catch up again one of these days.

Always pass by Sanxiang on my way to Dongguan.
Any cheong place worth visiting?

These days I prefer the kampung feel. Big cities too commercialise.

Sanxiang is actually quite pleasant and not so kampong if the massive number of the tall apartment blocks and residential districts are any indication. Indeed, I get the same feel like in Zhangmutou, wondering who are buying all these apartments, especially since rental for a fully furnished new apartment is only RMB800/mo (according to one MM who said she always rent new place). I can only assume most buyers are Hongkees and Macauese since they are relatively cheap – they must be buying them hoping for capital gains since returns from rental is so low. I also felt somewhat safer – and all the residential areas seem to have private security guards (of course more as deterrent) compared to some other areas in DG.

Food is slightly cheaper than CP and you get the usual entertainments such as KTVs, SNs and foot massage. Just our luck, we arrived on the day SX is having its turn for YD and all the MMs at KTVs were given holidays although they are allowed to turn up with customers in non-uniform, acting like gfs. We had a look at MMs arranged at someone’s office, but pickings were slim. The MMs are 2-5-8, although I understand there are also 1-4-6 joints. I was told things should be back to normal today, but I had to leave as I need to meet a biz associate in CP.

I am not a big fan of SN, but there was one SN located in PingDong area that offers the package for RMB198. Talking about PingDong, that’s one of the major disappointments for me on this trip. The Sanyue Jie near the PingDong market used to be packed with BBSs (still my favorite) but EZ and myself found out these have been victim to a major YD efforts a year ago. We only find two joints still in operation – one with auntie grade (must be late 20s or early 30s) probably for niche market, and another has 5 MMs out of which only 1 can make it. The price is RMB150 s/t for take out. We also found another BBS closer to Yajule with about 10 MMs (same price), but another one at Sunchang area would not allow take out. I am sure there are more, but my contact does not seem to know them. With so many gong-chan meis (the town is filled with factories although some have been victims to current economic downturn), there must be some OKTs who can provide them for part-time services.

As for the quality of MMs, I always believe it depends on your luck. EZ met one that is quite fun and in no hurry to leave the next day. But I met one who never came back after she asked to go to a friend’s birthday party for an hour. She tried to apologise the next day, but I’ve been around too long – plenty more where they came from.

SX also has a LanGuiFan, with streets filled with bars, but have to bring own MM though. There are beer girls for potential chat up & kc, although there do not seem to be too many worthy targets the night I was there. It’s value for money – three big bottles of beer with some tit-bits (peanuts, fried wanton & cuttle fish) cost us RMB50 only.

There are also hot-springs nearby, one located within SX district. Can bring MMs there in the evening during summer when MM will not complain about the heat since it is open-air, and day time during winter. I heard that there was one that offer MMs for “pei-xi” but not sure if that info is true or not – there is only one way to find out.

There is also a limo bus going from SX to CP, but it actually stop at DG-East Station that is closer to the computer center and the new 5-star hotel (EuroAsia “AoYa” International Hotel). It costs RMB67 and the trip via highway took me 2.5hrs due to a couple stops in DG – the bus actually get off the highway to drop off passengers and got back onto the highway to continue the journey. BTW, AoYa looks big – claims to have 420 rooms and 100 KTV rooms.

Bro Huzige,

Wow thanks for the detail write up on Sanxiang! Deeply appreciate it.

Your work must have brought you to many interesting places. Cheers!

No problem!

With the introduction made by LaoTie(LT), this is my supplement to the account of our trip to Far East Russia, from the ErZi's (EZ) persepctive.

EZ recently found himself unemployed and probably unemployable due the current economic conditions and therefore decided with all the time in his hands, might as well take an adventure. The topic of venturing to Russia has been previously proposed by GT during GT's trip to the south sometime early this year.

I thought that the following information on the application process for Russian Visa may be useful for some.

EZ volunteered to take care of the Russian Visa requirements. Firstly, in SG, there is only 1 authorised agent situated in PPC. Just google it and you should be able to get the address quite easily. The procedure is, you need to get an Invitation Letter from either any hotel or travel agent in Russia first. With the Invitation Letter, then you can apply for Russian Visa. The travel agent can do both the Invitation Letter and Visa. The Invitation Letter takes only about 3 working days and costs SGD 110. We need to accurately list down the exact names of the town (up to 5) that we will be visiting in the Invitation Letter. LT decided that we need to be exact and not anyhow list any places as there are a few sensitive areas like naval bases in Far East Russia.

Interestingly, there was a slight hiccup and EZ reconfirmed with the agent that we will be going to Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk. The agent offered to put in Moscow but I firmly declined knowing very well we are definitely very very very very far away from Moscow and chances of dropping by is remote. One of the Russian managers working in the travel agency gave me that "look" of - "What the hell is this guy going to some kampong place in Russia?"

Travellers are actually required to carry a copy of this Invitation Letter together with the Visa and passport. The Visa will take about 5-7 working days, costs SGD 126.

One more thing to add is, based on my experience with the Russia Customs, at least for Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk, I personally think I am the first person holding a Singaporean passport to pass through via land/sea port route because the Custom Officers spent a hell lot of a time checking the authenticity of my passport. Or maybe they have not seen a Singaporean PP before and therefore decided to take some time studying it. The Custom Officer asked me a few other questions like what's my occupation and what am I doing there... etc.

Similarly from the China side in Heihe (黑河) and Fuyuan (扶远), the Chinese Custom Officer took great interest and caution in the immgration checks, especially that the Custom chop will state the entry point, which for me would have been entry via Macau / Zhuhai. The Custom Officer in FY even commented that I enter from almost the most southern part of China and exiting into Russian from the most northern part of China...

My overall comment about these 2 Russian town would be, I kinda like Blago.... better, even tho I find it quite a mouthful to pronouce it, and a hassle to even spell it properly. Khabarovsk gives me the feeling that it doesn't quite welcome tourist. Finally, I have verified for myself the rumours about Russians not fond of smiling and personally, I believe it is true.

Other than the hot summer nights drinking the cold kbac (I believe it is pronounced as "krass"), I can't imagine anything else interesting here.

LT and EZ thought that we can do another 互动 action before we go off to Beijing, never realise the timing threw us off our plan. Oh well...

In Humen, EZ picked a demure looking gal, but once the action starts, realise that the demure looking gal is definitely a pro. Pro in trying to take short cuts after she realise that it was EZ's first time patronising the place. Oh well... at least still manage to get the job done.
