NOTE: The following is a C + P of an agent report from another forum.

It's been a while since I posted a report as CP is quite dead of any action since the crackdown back in February. I have been telling my regular customers to stay away and have suggested them to go to Foshan, Zhongshan, Shenzhen, or Huizhou. I have stayed away as I am not familiar and had no hook ups in these places but most importantly do not know whether it is safe enough for my customers to party at these places; however, through my past CP contacts, I have recently ventured to Danshui (DS), Huizhou for a four days visit.

Firstly, some logistic information for everyone. DS is east of CP (70 minutes away) and north of Luohu, Shenzhen (60 minutes) and has been voted the 5th most beautiful city in China. Huizhou is quite big as is Dongguan. CP is a town within Dongguan and DS is a town within Huizhou. DS to my amazement is an older developed town that historically been around for adult entertainment but not as easy to get to as CP, thus CP became a more popular destination for foreigners - as HK airport is within 3 hours away, SZ airport is one hour away, there is a direct train from HK, and only 30 minutes and 2 train stops from Luohu, SZ and 40 minutes and 2 train stops from Guangzhou East station. DS is not as easy to get to as you have to tack on an additional hour for each airport. There is a High-speed (Huizhou South Station) train that goes near DS (15 minutes from city center) but the train tickets are quite difficult to purchase as it is a station on a very popular line that goes eastward toward Xiamen. It is only 25 minutes and 17 RMB train ride from Shenzhen North Station (about 45 minutes from Luhou train station via subway). The town has three large shopping malls with movie theaters, restaurants, and shopping. Hotels are spread out around town and the best way to get around is on motor-bikes (5-8 RMB each way).

Two (both of my customers are from the US, one an African-American and the other Chinese-American with limited Putonghua skills) of my customers came up from Hong Kong through the Luohu border and I arranged a private car to pick them up at the Shangri-La Hotel . They stayed at the newly renovated Jin Ding Hotel 金40718;37202;24215; for 218 RMB per night. The original plan was to go to all four of the biggest Hotel / KTVs in town (the other three being: Li Jing Hotel 丽26223;37202;24215;, Shiji Hua Yuan Hotel世32426;21326;22253;22823;39277;24215;, and Jialu Int'l Hotel 家36335;22269;38469;37202;24215 but things didn't happen (see further for reason why) as planned. They arrived around 4 pm, and after a short rest, we ventured out for a bite to eat at the nearby mall which was about a 10 minutes walk from the hotel. We arrived at the Hao Yi Duo 好23452;22810; mall where there are a few restaurants on the third and fourth floor. We settled on getting some Pizza and Pasta and the total bill for three of us was 96 RMB (about 15 USD).

The Jin Ding International Club is right across the parking lot from the hotel. The building is a converted sports facility with 60 plus rooms of various sizes (cheapest minimum room is 680 RMB) with a separate building of luxurious party rooms for bigger parties. We reserved a 780 RMB minimum room that requires one DJ (300 RMB minimum tip) and one Service Boy (100 minimum tip). My customers decided to purchase the buy two get one free package of Chivas which included 12 bottles of mixers (coke, soda water, tonic water, green tea, chrysanthemum tea, etc.). Working girls (WG) line up started at 7:30 pm (a bit later than the usual CP flower street time) which is nice as there is no rush getting to the KTV early for best selection. Girls were brought in 5 to 10 at a time and probably because it was a Saturday night (the busiest party night of the week), we saw no more than 100 girls; however, it was more than enough as we were able to choose 5 girls easily as the talent was quite good. The WGs were split into two categories (4/10/15 and 5/15/20). Other than not having a flower street and having less number of girls, the partying was actually just the same as CP. The attitude of the girls were much better than CP once was, as most of these girls (before CP was basically shutdown) entertain local Chinese where the men only sits them and rarely takes them out but they work later and drinks much more than the foreign customers do. None of the girls asked to leave early and party with us all the way till we ended the party which was amazingly close to 1 am when we asked for the bill. Both of my customers took one of their WG’s out and paid the other three for their sitting fees. The next day report on the two girls that were taken out was good, no hurried service, one left after short time with the other leaving the next morning.
