Zen Massage & Picnic day in Dishui Lake

About weekend. Saturday shortly: I discovered Zen Massage from TripAdvisor, and we planned with Tarja that it would be really nice to get maybe some traditional chinese massage..

We ended up to get treatment called "Foot Reflexology with Aroma Oil". It's a combination of traditional foot reflexology and plant essential oil, facilitates blood circulation of the feet, enhances immune system, and mitigates foot chapping. It took 60 minutes, and first we got some hot water bowls to dip our feet in. After that we had an amazing neck/shoulder/back massage. Then was a time for a real deal, and oh boy that felt so good. I didn't even know about those pain points what I had in my legs, they did massage all parts under of knees. That whole treatment cost 178 RMB which is in euros about 23 - totally worth it.

Later Nicole joined with us, and she told us that she found earlier at that day some English styled sportbar called Oscar's Pub and we decided to go there "beer and dine".

Sunday shortly: End of our metro line (16) there is a Dishui Lake. It's the existing largest artificial freshwater lake in China. The design concept of the Dishui lake derived from the overall planning program provided by GMP Co, Germany "a drop of water from the sky fall into the sea with ripple floating layer upon layer; the location of the water-drop form the Dishui lake which has the diameter of 2.5 kilometers and an area of 5.66 km²". In order to improve the water’s quality in Dishui Lake, a riverway was built in Nanhui district to introduce the water of Dazhi River (a artificial river) into the Dishui lake and make the water clearer by using some ecological and biological treatment methods. There are three islands in the center of the lake which are Star Hotel Business Task Island, Leisure and Entertainment Theme Park Island, Marina Sports Activities Island. The three islands extend out annularly and radially, forming city life district, city park landscape belt and urban living area. There is also a toroidal symbol ‘drip’ in the center of the lake. The Leisure and Entertainment Theme Park Island is located in the north of the Dishui Lake. It is also the largest "pearl" among the three islands.

So me and Tarja planned to take some good food and drinks with us and had a nice picnic day next to the lake. The weather was beautiful, and the air felt actually fresh maybe first time. What a great day we had.
