I would recommend people not to bother with Shekou for punting anymore. ..... If you are in the region just go to Wan Chai for quality, quantity and variety.
Who am I to disagree with Obe but in this case I think I have to make a comment. The Wan Chai bar scene may provide quantity and variety, but it is very expensive and more to the point, it is too commercial for my tastes. Most of the girls are mechanical and will try to give the least amount of fun for the most amount of money. I do have some good experiences in Wan Chai, but they are few and far between. And the reason is, the bar and party girls know how to maximize the money they get from the tourists or occasional business travellers.
In HK, I much prefer to go to the areas such as Prince Edward or Mong Kok as there is decent enough variety, with far fewer tourists. Thus the prices are more reasonable and the level of "fun" is higher. But back to Shekou: I like the bar scene there, slim as it may be relative to a few years ago. You can have fun in the Shekou bars, and even though it may be pricey, it is hard to break the bank there. In Wan Chai, the bar scene can make you miss a mortgage payment on your house! |
