THE NEW LANDMARK SHANGRI-LA HOTEl@NANNING
The Shangri-La Nanning is located in the very heart of downtown Nanning CBD. Being part of the mixed-use development of CR Land and directly connected to the MixC shopping mall, the hotel is surrounded by communities for work, life, shopping, entertainment and cultural activities. Conveniently located and sitting above the Line 1 subway station MixC (Wanxiangcheng), the hotel offers easy access to the city’s other districts and sightseeing spots.

To come to Nanning specifically for this hotel, to experience the tallest scenery in the world!
Another trip to Nanning, for a bowl of warm and comforting 'Lao You Fen' (a local noodle dish), and also for this Shangri-La hotel, the tallest in the world.
Its excellent location makes it very convenient for both tourism and business trips in Nanning.
The high-quality service and facilities offer a great value travel experience.
A rich array of amenities, with 5 different dining spaces and bars, a high-altitude outdoor swimming pool, and a high-standard fitness center, provide more choices for your journey.
At the top of Nanning, there is an excellent urban landscape. The hotel has various check-in spaces waiting for you to explore.
H Hotel Introduction: This hotel is one of the newer Shangri-La properties in China. Unlike most Shangri-La hotels, this one has a strong design sense, reflecting the rich local culture and the landscape of Guangxi. Holding the title of the tallest Shangri-La hotel in the world, it also has a certain internet celebrity vibe, and indeed, many spaces within the hotel are among the top check-in spots in Nanning. High location, high taste, high standard of amenities,
About the room: The room I stayed in was a Deluxe Club Grand King Room with a 270-degree superb view, overlooking the bustling cityscape of Nanning. The 65 square meter large space is equipped with super intelligent facilities, creating a more tech-savvy stay experience. The division of the multi-functional area at the entrance, high-quality bedding, and amenities, offer a very comfortable travel experience.
Hotel Dining
Bai Qing Ge Chinese Restaurant: Specializes in Cantonese and Guangxi cuisine, with 11 elegant private rooms, very suitable for hosting banquets.
Yi Tea Room Cantonese Tea Restaurant: Exquisite and delicious Cantonese dim sum, both quality and taste are very much on point. The restaurant's design is trendy, great for taking photos and checking in.
Lobby Bar: Paired with the hotel's internet-famous afternoon tea set, this is definitely the most internet-famous check-in spot in Nanning. The afternoon tea set is adjusted according to different times, offering a different experience each time you visit. Overlooking the city's neon lights at night, paired with an exquisite dinner for two, it's very romantic.
The hotel's all-day dining restaurant serves a variety of Chinese and Western breakfast options, but the most popular is still a bowl of freshly made 'Lao You Fen'.
Sky Bar: Enjoy Nanning's nightlife here, with live bands performing every night, very pleasant.
Hotel Surroundings: The hotel is located in the ASEAN area, close to the Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center, with the subway line 1 right downstairs, making business trips very convenient. It is not far from the 5A tourist attraction Qingxiu Mountain and Nanning Fantawild.

403 meters, the tallest Shangri-La in the world
The tallest in the world refers to the highest number of floors (the highest altitude Shangri-La is in Lhasa).
The hotel has 88 floors with a building height of 403 meters, which also exceeds The Shard's 310 meters and the China World Trade Center Tower's 330 meters.
It has been a long time since I have seen a newly opened Shangri-La return to such a grand and magnificent design, from the first floor to the 68th floor's sky lobby, it's really majestic.
On the 71st floor, there is a 317-meter high outdoor swimming pool, which is said to be the highest outdoor swimming pool in China. Although there isn't much of a view in Nanning, on a clear day, the clouds seem within reach.
The ground floor has direct access to the MixC Mall and the subway station, making transportation very convenient.
The room I booked is one level above the basic room, the selected type, which is slightly larger than the basic room and includes an extra bathtub. The room's decoration is very tasteful, and the mattress is so comfortable.

Nanning | Shangri-La Hotel Above the Clouds
| Shangri-La Hotel Above the Clouds. Nanning | Shangri-La Hotel Above the Clouds
I recently visited Nanning to see friends and took the opportunity to check out the long-planned Shangri-La Hotel in Nanning.
The hotel is adjacent to the MixC Nanning and is located in the high zone of the 403-meter-tall Guangxi CRLand Tower, making it the tallest Shangri-La hotel to date. I heard that the hotel was originally planned to be branded as a Grand Hyatt, so the overall design style hardly shows the typical Shangri-La approach. Instead, it's full of Hyatt-style hotel design language, which is exactly why I wanted to visit.
The Deluxe Horizon Club King Room I stayed in is arguably the hotel's most popular and quintessential room type. Situated at the corner of the floor, not only is the room spacious, but the huge floor-to-ceiling windows also offer a better view of the cityscape.
Personally, if the hotel could have opened under the Grand Hyatt name, the overall experience (including dining and service) might have been more stylish. However, regardless, Shangri-La remains one of the top choices for accommodation in Nanning.

📍Langxi Night Market
Compared with Pingxi Night Market, I prefer Langxi Night Market, which is close to Nanning Shangri-La, and you can go there with a small electric bottle, which is very convenient, and there are too many treasure shops, my favorite is a purple perilla duck feet, and the braised chicken feet and pig skin opposite the duck feet, although the night market is small, there is no crowding, it tastes better, and more locals go!

Parent-Child Choice: Nanning Shangri-La Hotel's Little Yellow Duck Themed Room
Nanning Shangri-La Hotel is the tallest hotel in Nanning and also the tallest Shangri-La Hotel in the world. I stayed in the hotel's Little Yellow Duck family themed room during the Spring Festival, and the experience was beyond expectations!
The room I stayed in was on the 85th floor, offering an unparalleled view of Nanning! Located at the corner of the building and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, the room provides a 270-degree unobstructed view of the entire Minzu Avenue, capturing the bustling beauty of the city. In the morning, you can even witness the sunrise, which is quite stunning.
The family themed room is also well-prepared for children. The room is decorated with the Little Yellow Duck and Ctrip's Little Dolphin as themes, with toys, pillows, small tents, towels, mattresses, and floor mats all featuring cartoon patterns, which the kids absolutely loved The room also provides children's bathing supplies, slippers, and bathrobes. The tables are equipped with corner protectors. There's a chair placed at the entrance of the room for changing shoes, which is a thoughtful touch. There's also a small craft item in the room, not sure if it's a Spring Festival special.
In addition to the family themed room, the hotel's outdoor constant temperature swimming pool is also suitable for children to play in. The hotel pool is divided into a large and a small pool, with the temperature of the small pool reaching 30 degrees. Even in February, children won't feel cold when entering the water and can have a lot of fun.
Of course, there are some areas where the hotel could improve. The room has great natural light when the curtains are open, but when closed or at night, I feel the lighting in the room is a bit dim; the lighting in the family room should be brighter. The shower is located in the center of the room with a fully transparent design, but surprisingly it doesn't use frosted glass and requires a manually pulled screen for privacy, which is quite heavy and inconvenient to use. The hotel doesn't have a family fun park. The pool provides swimming rings, but the large flamingo swimming ring costs 168 yuan for half an hour...
Overall, with the hotel's convenient location, the room's complete children's facilities, and the high-altitude view, I highly recommend staying here. The child didn't want to leave when checking out
I hope this article is helpful to you, thank you for reading!

Living in the cloud, you can also have a slow life exclusive to Nanning during the Spring Festival!
For the first time coming to Nanning, Guangxi, where everything is lush, it is also the first time to stay at the legendary height of the Shangri-La Hotel worldwide 🔝
👉 The height of 403 meters is not only the city's cloud landmark in Nanning, but also the high-rise of Shangri-La's Nanbo Wan.
👉 The hotel reception directly arranged at the height of the 68th floor, and there I saw the cute sea turtle, the auspicious creature with a dragon head and a fish tail, which is too suitable for the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival!
👉 Although it is the winter season when you can't swim, I have to say that the hotel's high-altitude swimming pool is too beautiful, and it looks good with a casual shot.
👉 It is very convenient to go to the main check-in points of the city. It only takes about 10 minutes by car to get to Three Streets and Two Alleys/Qingxiu Mountain/Fangte Dongmeng Divine Painting/National Museum. Not to mention that there is a subway station downstairs in the hotel, and the Wanxiang City where you can shop, eat, and buy in one stop, the geographical location is excellent.

Harbin check-in Nanning, Guangxi 7-day tour
I, from Harbin in the north, come to check in Nanning, Guangxi. The first step of the travel strategy is to get off the plane at Wuxu Airport in Nanning. The first step is to take a Didi to Chaoyang Square Jianwen Hotel for check-in. This place is convenient and fun, and of course, Guangxi's special food should not be missed. For example, Jianzheng Road, Agricultural College Road, the crowd is crowded with various foods that make people linger, take pictures to go to Three Streets and Two Lanes, Qingxiu Mountain, Acacia Town, Pavilion Wharf, Wuxiang Square, the temperature here is relatively warm, evergreen all year round, Guangxi fellows are very enthusiastic and simple, the quality of education is very good, not at all despise and exclude foreigners, we are more comfortable and happy to play in Guangxi than at home, the prices here are too cheap, really like it very much

The tallest Shangri-La Hotel in the world
1. The location is very good, with MixC nearby.
2. The lobby is very grand, the lobby bar on the 68th floor has a wide view, and the combination of dragon year elements and Zhuang ethnic features is very distinctive.
3. The room facilities are new, with a new Chinese-style wooden style, a wide view, but there is smog today, and the scenery is generally photographed. Slippers and bathing supplies are comfortable.
4. The pool scenery is average.
