Dalangtaosha Spa Center | Zhujiang New Town Branch

Dalangtaosha is a full-day spa stop with an unusually generous side order: a seafood buffet, fruit, premium soft drinks, and unlimited Häagen-Dazs. You can soak, sauna, eat, and rest in one place, rather than trying to fit several separate outings into a Guangzhou day.

I like the practical mix of bath and sauna facilities with proper lounge seating, and the long buffet schedule gives you more than one chance to eat during a 12-hour visit. The main considerations are the price, which depends on the package, and the fact that the building entrance can be tricky to spot.

• Find the 3A-floor entrance: The branch is at Liyawan Clubhouse, about 500 meters from Exit A at Liede Station on Metro Line 5. One visitor had trouble locating the elevator and walked around the building, so look for the elevator rather than assuming the street entrance will be obvious.
• Plan around the sauna hours: The venue is open around the clock, but dry and wet saunas operate Monday to Thursday from 14:00 to 02:00, and Friday to Sunday from 12:00 to 03:00.
• Meals run on set schedules: Dinner is 18:00 to 21:30, breakfast is 07:00 to 11:30, lunch is 11:30 to 14:00, and the late-night buffet is 23:30 to 02:00. Dinner has a 90-minute maximum.
• The 12-hour clock starts at entry: Your time begins when staff activate your wristband. Staying longer can mean an extra charge at the venue’s rate.
• Expect language help, not guaranteed English: Staff may use translation apps to help with registration and service. Bring the right ID and have your booking details ready.
• Extras can change the bill: The package includes a 10% service fee, but other purchases also incur a 10% fee. Treatment packages cost more and may exclude admission.

A spa day built around eating and resting

Dalangtaosha’s Zhujiang New Town branch is not a quick massage appointment. It is a 12-hour bathhouse visit, with showers, baths, dry and steam saunas, a multifunction hydrotherapy massage pool, meals, drinks, and a lounge where you can rest between activities.

That format works best if you treat the visit as a slow day rather than a race through the inclusions. You might arrive, change, spend time in the baths or sauna, eat when a buffet is open, then settle into the lounge. The pass gives you room to pause, which is valuable if you want a break from sightseeing or a relaxed evening in the city.

The venue is open 24 hours, but its saunas are not. If those are central to your plans, check the weekday or weekend schedule before choosing when to arrive. Bathing and sauna facilities are listed as part of the package, while the precise order of your visit is up to you.

Getting inside at Liyawan Clubhouse

The address is 3A, Liyawan Clubhouse, 100 Xicun Road, about 500 meters from Exit A of Liede Station on Metro Line 5. The spa is on the 3A floor, and finding the elevator entrance may take a little patience. A visitor described the lower floors as quiet and difficult to read, so don’t let an empty-looking building put you off.

At reception, show a valid ID for registration. Mainland residents should bring a Resident ID card; Hong Kong and Macao residents need a Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents; Taiwan residents need their Mainland Travel Permit for Taiwan Residents; and foreign visitors should bring a passport.

Staff may not speak much English, but they can use translation apps. Have your voucher and any treatment selections accessible, and keep communication simple. One visitor described the reception and restaurant teams as diligent about helping this way.

What the 12-hour pass covers

Your 12-hour visit includes showers, baths, a dry sauna, a steam sauna, and a multifunction hydrotherapy massage pool. A luxury lounge has individual sofa seating, and the package also includes an ice-silk bathrobe, Valmont skincare for use in the venue, and a Dyson hair dryer.

These details make the pass more useful than a basic entry ticket. You can wash up, change, and rest without packing your own robe or hair dryer. The products and equipment are for use in the spa, not take-home items.

The lounge is a genuine part of the day, not just a place to wait between services. A visitor praised the size and comfort of the individual sofa. One practical caveat: seating near the smoking room may pick up smoke odor, so if that bothers you, ask where the available seats are before settling in.

Free Wi-Fi and parking are included. The pass also provides 12-hour access to self-service drinks, seasonal fruit, and Häagen-Dazs. The exact fruit, drinks, and food ingredients can change with market availability, so treat the menu as a guide to the format, not a promise that every item will be present.

Buffet windows, seafood, and a 90-minute dinner

The food is a major reason to consider this package. Dinner runs from 18:00 to 21:30 and includes a seafood spread with king crab and lobster, along with Black 5J ham. Dinner is limited to 90 minutes, so arrive with enough time to eat without having to watch the clock from the moment you sit down.

Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 11:30, with Western hot dishes, Cantonese dim sum, and vegetable salad. Lunch runs from 11:30 to 14:00, with hot dishes and Cantonese dim sum. The late-night buffet operates from 23:30 to 02:00, with seafood spicy hot pot, Hunan-style barbecue, and seafood in savory sauce.

Those windows give the pass a flexible rhythm, especially if you choose a 12-hour stretch that overlaps with a meal. They also mean you should check the clock before arriving hungry: the dining options are scheduled, not open continuously. Ask staff which meal is included with your selected package and when your dining slot begins.

The food has drawn strong praise, particularly the buffet and dinner choices. That does not mean every dish will suit every palate, and the exact ingredients may vary. Still, the range of seafood, Cantonese dim sum, hot dishes, and late-night options gives you more than a token snack with your spa entry.

Drinks, fruit, and dessert between meals

The package includes unlimited self-service premium soft drinks for 12 hours, with Starbucks drinks, Perrier, and Voss listed among the offerings. There is also an all-you-can-eat seasonal fruit bar and unlimited Häagen-Dazs in various flavors.

This all-day grazing adds real value if you plan to stay for most of the ticket period. You can have a drink or fruit between sauna sessions without making a separate purchase, and dessert is not limited to one small serving. Keep in mind that supply and selection can change; the venue’s current offerings are the ones to rely on.

The combination is also what makes the pass different from a standard bathhouse entry. You are paying for a longer stay with several food and drink options folded in. If you only want a short soak, that abundance may be more than you need. If you plan to linger, it can help make the overall cost easier to justify.

Massage and upgraded packages

The basic 12-hour ticket is only one way to book. Other options include a 24-hour ticket with seafood buffet, packages with a choice of massage or spa treatments, and versions that add a lobby selection or treatment choices. A 90-minute La Mer luxury body treatment is also offered, but it is listed as excluding admission.

Massage quality has been a bright spot, with one visitor naming therapist #888 and describing the service as kind and skilled. That is a useful detail if you want to request a therapist, though availability is not guaranteed. Staff may be able to help you communicate your preference.

Be careful to compare what each package actually includes. A treatment package may not include admission, and add-ons outside the voucher are charged separately with a 10% service fee. If massage is your priority, check the treatment duration and whether entry is included before paying.

What the price buys you

The listed price depends on the package. The 12-hour ticket with seafood buffet is shown from US$131.39 among the package choices, while the experience’s headline price is US$144.55. Other options start at US$147.85 for a 24-hour ticket with seafood buffet, US$159.25 for a 12-hour ticket with a lobby choice, and US$180.65 for a 12-hour ticket with a massage choice. Prices can vary, so confirm the exact option and total at booking.

The value depends on how much of the day you use. If you take advantage of the bathing facilities, lounge, meals, fruit, drinks, and ice cream, the package can replace several separate meals and a spa visit. If you plan to leave after a quick sauna, it is harder to make the cost work.

A 10% service fee is included in the group-purchase voucher price. Any spending beyond the package also incurs a 10% fee on those items. One visitor described the package as good value with no hidden fees, but you should still check which treatments, meals, and lounge choices belong to your selected ticket.

Who will enjoy this stop most

I would consider Dalangtaosha if you want a long, comfortable break from city sightseeing and enjoy the idea of pairing a bathhouse visit with several buffet meals. It is a good fit for people who like to linger, eat well, and have a place to rest without arranging each part of the day separately.

It can also suit couples or friends, especially with the two-person 24-hour option. The individual sofa seating offers a quiet place to pause, though the smoking-room location may affect some lounge areas. If you are sensitive to smoke, ask about seating before you settle in.

This is less suited to a tight schedule or anyone seeking a quick, low-cost spa visit. The food has set hours, the ticket runs for 12 hours from wristband activation, and the venue can require a queue at busy times. No reservation is required, but that does not mean immediate entry during peak periods.

Should you book Dalangtaosha?

Book it if you want a full day or night of bathing, buffet food, and lounge time, and you expect to use several parts of the package. The seafood dinner, extensive meal schedule, complimentary drinks, fruit, and Häagen-Dazs make the offer more substantial than admission alone.

Choose another option if you want only a short treatment or need a predictable, quick visit. Before you pay, confirm the package contents, sauna hours, meal timing, and treatment details. Bring the correct ID, allow extra time to find the 3A-floor elevator, and keep an eye on your 12-hour wristband clock.
