Shangri-La Changzhou

The calm Lake Xihu shimmers under the morning sun, reminding you again of where you are. You take a deep breath as your hands waltz across the tasteful furnishings in your suite. Hints of a muted fragrance caress you gently. In all of scenic Changzhou, there is only one place synonymous with luxury – Shangri-La Hotel, Changzhou.\nYour day begins with a delectable breakfast at the hotel's Café Long. Sated, you head out to Huayuan Street, just ten minutes away, to satisfy your retail longings. The journey rewards you with access to both large-scale luxury shopping malls and quaint local shops. From a charming shophouse, you purchase a beautiful keepsake – a small but exquisitely crafted jade comb.\nAfter a morning of shopping, you begin to crave the perfect pastiche of delicate flavours unique to Chinese cuisine. The hotel entices your return with the signature Shangri-La restaurant, Shang Palace. You are amazed by the restaurant's resplendent offerings, and you carefully savour every bite of delicate flavours.\nThe rest of the day is spent walking off an indulgent lunch. Absorbing the sights and sounds en route, you feel the quiet magic of Changzhou. The beautiful Yangtze delta meanders through the city and finds its way to your heart.\nThe wonder continues back at the hotel's Horizon Lounge, where you indulge in a nightcap. From here, the serene views of Lake Xihu are as sublime as a classic Chinese painting. A full body massage is a relaxing finale to the day and you decide to have this rejuvenating treatment in the comfort of your own suite.\nWelcome to Shangri-La Hotel, Changzhou, where modern travellers enjoy legendary hospitality.
