I want to tell you about my trip on September 05.2009 to the Celestial Empire, the city of Dalian, to honey. center of Shengu. In 1994, there was a car accident and I suffered a lot, I had a difficult operation on the spine, I learned to walk again. But the pains remained, and I learned to live with them. In March, my back was very blown out. Since April 2009, I began to collect all the information about the possibility of a complete cure. I found the company Sonata, which treats our compatriots in China on the basis of the Military Hospital. I contacted Natalya, it turned out later that the organizers of the Sonata were Russian women with a medical education. But at that time I read a negative review about the Sonata and an excellent review about the Shengu Medical Center.

Just arrived from Dalian, the whole family went to Shengu for treatment.

We lived in a hotel attached to a hotel. The hotel is not bad.


Before the trip, we doubted for a long time whether we should go at all, there were different opinions.

True, people were treated with different honey. centers. But we chose with minimal risk, we warned that there are many dubious clinics in Dalyan, where only Russians are accepted and they pay not what they treat, but every day at 140-150 dollars a day. They also discarded the Sonata, because they don’t pay honey at the box office. Center, and on tour. Firm. Experienced people said that only 1 doctor sees there, and he is often not on site, you have to wait half a day, masseurs, young specialists do the main work.

We went at our own risk and fear, issued visas, and we were met in Dalian.

I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Yan, who restored my spine (I suffered for more than 10 years), after undergoing a course of treatment, I feel 20 years younger for sure, my legs walk by themselves, ENT Alexander, their hands are golden, he managed to cure not only my chronic sinusitis , but also to do a facelift, the second chin disappeared somewhere.

My sister suffered for almost 3 years in a feminine way, there was no menstruation, after undergoing acupuncture, on the 3rd day of treatment, she felt the effect, menstruation began, is this not a miracle.

The woman was treated with us, she lost 11 kg in 14 days. Her husband did not recognize how slim she had become.

Thank them very much!

I really liked the medical center, only 5 floors. There are doctors in every field, more than 40 specialists. The Chinese themselves were treated together with us, we immediately noted this as a positive sign that we are not being deceived.

We found our own, next time we will go only to Shanggu.


After reading this and some other reviews about the Sonata (which everyone scolded) and Shengu (which was praised), I made my choice. Signed off with lisa2008. And agreed on an invitation. Having collected the necessary documents (passport - valid for at least 6 months, 1 color photo 3x4 on a white background, invitation) went to the Chinese Embassy, ​ ​ to the consular department - Moscow, st. Friendship, 6

Phone: (+7 495.938-2006.143-1543.143-1540 Opening hours Monday-Friday 09.00-12.00.

There I filled out a questionnaire (it is in Russian), pasted a photo and documents into the window (it is better to take a queue first, and then a questionnaire). The queue moved quickly, I held out my passport, invitation, application form with a glued photo (there is glue, no scissors). The employee checks and returns the documents - the first puncture - there is no diagnosis of the disease in the invitation, then they demanded an extract from the medical card from me. The next day, on Tuesday, I arrived early with an extract, was the first, passed it without any problems, received a receipt, where the date of receipt was the next Tuesday and the amount was 1500.00 rubles. (if you need it in 3 days, then +2000.00 rubles, in the evening +3500.00 rubles). A week later, without any problems, I received a passport with a visa. Tip - start applying for a visa 3-4 weeks in advance.

I booked through lisa2008 the Central Plaza 4 * hotel with a swimming pool, 3 minutes walk from Shengu.

Tickets were bought by Moscow-Beijing Aeroflot and Beijing-Dalian CHINA SOUTHERN AIRLINES, so it turned out much cheaper, with all fees of 23 thousand rubles, but one ambush, only 2.5 hours for a transfer, took a minimum of things, nothing piercing, cutting, balloon-shaped, and so something that cannot be carried in hand luggage. But I needn't have worried. Things were never weighed and there was enough time for a transplant. Arrival hall on the first floor, departure on the second, for local lines - the left wing, international - the right wing.

Larisa met me in Dalian and took me to the Hotel. It was Sunday at 3:00 pm. Larisa said that now the doctor is no longer in Shengu and agreed on Monday. On Monday we come to Dr. Jan, with Larisa (quietly standing aside, not a single word) and translator Katya (translates poorly, in the amount of two phrases).


After briefly reviewing my NMR and CT scans of the entire spine, he sent me a simple x-ray for 222 yuan (1yu=5r). After looking at the picture, he said that my problems were not due to a hernia (I have 8 protrusions along the entire spine and one 5mm hernia in the lower back and problems with the neck), but because of the misalignment in the lower back. He prescribed a massage (200 Yu), electric currents (70 Yu), “hot wrapping with medicinal herbs point by point”, but in fact they put a cloth soaked in decoction (120 Yu) on the back in the region of the collarbones (120 Yu) and put a lamp “healing lamp” in that place (30 Yu). ), extract on a special apparatus (120yu) (NEVER AGREE TO THIS BRUTAL PROCEDURE). Sit on a chair, belts are put on your neck and you yourself, turning the wheel, pull your neck up, or lie down and your spine is pulled dry, WILD. All this for 10 sessions + grass and its preparation (1198yu + 90yu). At first I did not pay attention to these prices.

I complained to Larisa about a sore throat, she took me to the doctor Sasha, who prescribed needles for the neck - for inflammation and a chin lift, and for the stomach - for the stomach and a tummy tuck (120). Then they went to the cashier and they counted me somewhere around 8650 yu. Tip, pay after the fact, not all at once. The massage is carried out by the boy Slava, although before that Larisa said that Dr. Yang would deal with me from beginning to end. Slava didn't see my pictures. Dr. Yang for 6 days never once asked about my well-being. In the next 5 days, I did all this, severe pains appeared in my right buttock, it was painful to walk, neither Slava nor Larisa paid any attention to my complaints. And Larisa, it seems, only brings clients to the center and that’s all, she doesn’t care about the rest. After 6 days of treatment, which I paid for, I stopped going for treatment. During this time, there was no improvement in well-being, on the contrary.

And only after 2 days Larisa found me and asked why I didn’t go to the procedures. I told it like it is, but they wanted to withdraw money from me, but I didn’t give it.

On the seventh day at breakfast, I met girls from Khabarovsk, they came to Dalian to relax and get their teeth done at the Vienna dental office (http://www. vena-dalian. ru/). I saw their beautiful teeth. And I wanted to find out myself, but how things are with my teeth, she asked me to take me with her. And then I was already in a complete trance, no treatment, no rest (there was bad weather), a lot of money was spent (I collected everything that my husband and I had). We arrived in Vienna, I had a free consultation, they calculated how much my new teeth would cost 15 pieces, it turned out very cheap, the removal of old crowns and bridges, three fillings, new metal-ceramic, cleaning of my stone, cost me $ 850 and I decided .


And the girls took me to the medical unit, a local and very elderly doctor made a diagnosis for me by pulse, told me everything about my physiological state (they didn’t do this to me in Shengu), prescribed treatment and herbs, which I took in dry form. The massage therapist very carefully looked at my pictures first, and glanced at the pictures of Shengi. Accurately described my condition, prescribed a massage, a fiery warming point and herbal application. Unfortunately, due to lack of time, I did only 4 sessions, but I felt great relief. And for the treatment in 4 days, diagnostics and herbs, I paid 1150 yuan, compare - for 6 days in Shengu it cost 5800 yuan. It's about pain.

Now about rest. Everywhere I traveled mostly by bus, I had a good map (in Russian and Chinese). If there are no maps in your hotel, feel free to go to any and in the lobby you can buy the necessary map and guide.

And even before the trip, make printouts in large print of the main object and words in Chinese. On this site you can find everything you need. Dictionary http://www. asia business. en/culture/? p=4_1 Map in Russian and Chinese http://www. asia business. en/karta/? p=3

And so I was settled in the Central Plaza 4 * hotel for $ 64. This is a beautiful hotel, 35 floors. My 15th floor was very decent, carpet, beautiful design. Although the floors were much worse. But in the bathroom the sink was broken and the bathtub was beaten off, about which I immediately informed Larisa, and she was the receptionist. Be sure to check everything, otherwise it may hang on you. I put everything from the refrigerator on the shelf next to it, it costs 10 times more. I do not advise you to take, and then report the same, they have everything under codes and you still have to pay. Towels, Bathrobes, slippers, brushes and disposable bells and whistles were changed every day, the bed was made, things were put in their places - and that's it.

It seems to me that they have not been vacuumed more than once, the dust was wiped off once and then because I rearranged the lamp. The bed was changed on the 11th day, but the pillowcases were not touched. Require cleaning.


Only breakfast was included. Mostly Chinese food and all the same. Where can you eat? In the evening we ate at Russian restaurants Pyatnitsa and Arbat, establishments for 4 minus. But in the Arbat you can hang out until 12 at night and have karaoke in Russian. There are other Russian restaurants, but I was alone and it was difficult for me to find them. And so in all restaurants there are pictures or dummies of dishes and prices. Pay attention to the icons "pepper" 1.2-3 - this indicates the spiciness of the dish. At worst, you can go to McDonald's or KFC (the same McDonald's on a chicken theme, but with a Chinese understanding of the required amount of pepper). But more often I bought food and fruits in the Dalian department store, not far from the hotel. I ate it all in my room. By the way, China has delicious cookies and muffins, and delicious yoghurts.

You can't just buy tea in China. There are no tea departments in supermarkets. This special drink is sold in specialized stores. The prices in them bite, but if you buy tea there, you will drink tea. In a special store, you can try any variety (the so-called "tea ceremony" for tourists). There are exotic varieties, with a taste of milk, its real price is 135 yu (670 rubles) per 50 gr. And if they sell much cheaper, then it's a fake

For food prices

There are many different restaurants, canteens and eateries in China. Each restaurant specializes, as a rule, in any one Chinese or other cuisine. The table is served in such a way that each seated person has a plate, a small bowl with a porcelain spoon and chopsticks.

Here are a few - the all-China system of restaurants "Peking Duck", a dumpling restaurant, national Korean and Japanese restaurants, an Italian restaurant "Olive Garden"

In an ordinary McDonald's, prices are the same as ours: a large Coca-Cola is about 15 rubles, a Big Mac is 50-60 rubles. In the Chinese McDonald's, a plate of dumplings with meat and vegetables costs 30-40 rubles. The portion is big enough for one person.

In Chinese traditional eateries, the portions are gigantic - enough for two. Noodles in broth and some meat will cost you 30-35 rubles.

A teapot with tea costs 60-80 rubles, 2 mugs for two.

At the same time, there were dishes on the menu, the composition of which was not clear to us, as well as their name. They were listed with a mysterious string of characters that could end in an amount of 250 or more yuan. It turned out to be a set lunch for several people.

And here are the names in Chinese (I took it on the Internet):

Samovar: 野 力 肥 牛 火 锅 (友 好 路. 103号 )

Peking duck: 麦 当 劳 中 山 路

Hans: 金 汉 斯 烤 肉 (中 山 区 延 安 路. 31号 )

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant: 中 山 区 职 工 街. 9号

Brazilian restaurant "Marcio de Rios": 马 修 巴 西 烤 肉

Russian Restaurant "Apple Orchard": 金 苹 果 园 餐 厅

Friday Russian Restaurant: 餐 吧 星 期 五

Russian restaurant "Arbat": 阿 尔 巴 特 西 餐 厅


Ming Tian Coffee Language: 名 典 咖 啡 语 茶

New-Mart, Wol-Mart, Dalian department store

Near the hotel, there were these shops where I bought groceries. One of the features of their purchase is that the measure of weight is not kilograms and grams, but jini. 1 jin is equal to 500 grams and is divided into 10 liang. 1 liang is equal to 50 grams, divided into 10 qian. 1 qian is equal to 5 grams. The price tag indicates the cost of 1 jin = 500 grams.

Drinking water is bought in bottles for 7-12 rubles. liter. Tap water can be boiled in the kettle provided in the room.

Fruit is sold at any intersection a short distance from the main street. Bargain, prices bend 1.5-2 times.

Transport, money, communications and the Internet

Taxis pass by all the time. Just wave your hand - they will definitely stop if they are free.

For a tourist, this is the only practical way to get somewhere. You poke your finger at the destination on the map, the counter turns on - and let's go. In Dalian, a trip from one end to the city to the other (6 million inhabitants) cost 30 Yu (150 rubles), but you can just drive around the city for 8 Yu. Back - show the business card of the hotel. There is a concept of "minimum wage": you pay for the first three kilometers immediately - the meter displays 8 yuan (then it adds 1.2 yuan per kilometer). After 21.00, the fee increases slightly to 10.4 yu - do not be alarmed.

Taxi drivers are polite, do not wait for tips, change is handed over carefully. The rules are broken wherever possible, desperately signaling to be let through. Surprisingly, this does not annoy anyone. Here, it seems, they believe that since you are climbing forward, it means that you really need it, and they let you through no matter what. Or maybe it's a Buddhist tradition not to show negative emotions that are unhealthy.

Nevertheless, I note that if everyone in Dalian drives at random (going into the oncoming lane when overtaking is normal), people should cross the road without interfering with the car.


Public transport is very developed in Dalyan. The fare on the bus is 1 yuan, on a 2-storey bus -2 yuan, but the length of many routes is small. Each bus is equipped with air conditioning, which is pleasantly pleasing in the heat there. I recommend taking routes No. 701 and 702 (2 yuan) on the second floor of such a bus through the most picturesque areas of the city. The interval of movement on these routes is 10-15 minutes.

Unlike other cities in the PRC, the tram in Dalian is the main element of the city's transport system. The whole city is permeated by tram routes No. 201.202 and 203, several tens of kilometers long, from the Frozen Wave park to the exit from the city (along the highway to Port Arthur). In the area of ​ ​ the railway station, tram number 203 becomes route number 202.

Tram lines throughout the city have been updated and extended by 20 km over the past 3-4 years. The fare is 1 yuan (for the whole journey), the cars are equipped with comfortable seats. For comparison, a taxi ride across the city for a distance of 30 km will cost 80-90 yuan. From the main line of route No. 201 there is a branch to the northern residential neighborhoods - route No. 202. Japanese trams still run, they are over 70 years old, but they are in very good condition.

A SIM card from a local telephone operator can be purchased from the guide for 100 yuan (which costs 50yuan). Never call back for short 1-2 calls - this is advertising and money is withdrawn for this. But in general, local guides are not European guides, they don’t bother and multiply everything by 2. They take you to their shops, where they rip off 3 skins from you, and they are paid 150 yuan from each. Therefore, the advice is to go to the shops, to the subway yourself and bargain. If SALE 20% discounts are indicated, this is not a 20% discount, but they sell it for 20% of the cost.

The subway at Olympic Square is much cheaper than at Victoria Square.

The Internet in China is an affordable thing - if you can find it. But I didn't find it.

There are three cable car lines in the city.

First: "Polar Oceanarium" - "Bird Park"; the fare is 35 yuan.

Second: "Labor Park" - TV tower; the fare is 40 yuan. A feature of this line is that you can get to the TV tower only along this road or on foot, and go down either on foot or on a funicular or on a sled.


Third: Shells Beach - viewing platform - zoo, the fare is 70 yuan, but at the peak of the tourist season and in the off-season, the price is reduced. This line has a length of more than 3 kilometers. Only on it you can climb to the viewing platform above the zoo. This road is the shortest way from the beach to the city center.

I was only on the second one, you can buy blankets and pillows made of pure silk upstairs.

With a guide, you can buy a double for 700, and without it - bargaining heavily, for 500. But I, with the help of new friends, ordered on the market - two for 500.

There are five beach areas in Dalyan.

Beach "Shell", entrance fee - 10 yuan. The beach has a sand and pebble shore, you can take buses No. 702.401, the cost is 1 yuan.

Very beautiful and clean beach with sand and pebbles - Government Beach. By taxi it takes 30 minutes, the fare is 25-30 yuan. Entrance fee - 20 yuan

The beaches on Hong Kong Square and in Xinghai Park are sand and pebble, located practically in the city center, the entrance fee to their territory is 10 yuan, the fare from the station square by taxi is 18-20 yuan, by tram - 1 yuan, the time in the way is 15-25 minutes. Buses - 801.709, 711.406, 28.23, 22.14, 16, tram - No. 202.

The most inconvenient beach for swimming is located near the Frozen Wave Square. The shore is stone, the water area is adjacent directly to the port water area. Taxi fare is 20 yuan.

The main streets are very clean, you will not see people smoking or drinking from cans, of course, if you go deep into the small streets, you will see dirt and linen hanging right on the street and old houses. But there is a lot of construction in Dalian, and given that active construction in it began only in 1996, one can only admire the Chinese people.

In general, I returned home with a lot of impressions, worries, disappointments and pleasant finds. Unfortunately, I did not receive treatment and rest there, and I myself am to blame for this, I chose the wrong medical center. I advise you not to visit Shengu and TUNZHENTAN. And I also advise you, get treated at home, and come to Dalian to relax and get your teeth done, and if you have an extra 1.5-3 thousand dollars, then you can still improve your health in multiple medical centers.


If anyone has any questions, please contact me, I will answer everything I know about.
