Yong, from Chuan, from Yi.
"There is water in all directions of the city, and it is surrounded by a pond."

Longguang Naren, a Luxury Collection Hotel, may be the best view of Nanning's tallest building
The night before the opening of Shangri-La Hotel, located on the top of Yongcheng, I stayed at the Longguang Naren Luxury Collection Hotel, which is also the world's highest semicolon, not far away.
Look up at Shangri-La, the world's tallest city, surrounded by mountains and waters, and its skyline of high-rise building genes has further climbed, and the luxurious height of the city is also interpreted by the new generation of Shangri-La.

This visit coincided with the frenzied counterattack of the epidemic in March, and tourism and hotels in many places have been suspended, but The Shangri-La Hotel in Nanning is not among them. On the contrary, as the flagship of the brand and even the representative of domestic luxury hotels this year, Yongxiang's performance is satisfactory enough.
To this end, I would like to use this text to show you, and at the same time, except for the annotations, the whole text is taken by myself to show the truth.

The junction of Nanning's central axis, Shoushan District and 400 meters of clouds is where Shangri-La Hotel Nanning is located. Among the tall buildings, goettsch Partners' China Resources Center is sharp and high-pitched, and the outdoor terrace, apron and lighthouse-like luminous crown are cut out in turn, adding an elegant sense of rhythm.
Entrance to the hotel in a secluded location
At night, when you reach the illuminated place behind the MixC, the polyline-shaped pool extends the flow line, the cascading downward drops and miniature fountains gurgle, and the dandelion-shaped shimmering balls sway and flicker around the tall Japanese black pines.
Entrance to a giant relief
Through six residential doors and a magnificent colonnade, giant reliefs take over the view. Guangxi ethnic artists, under the pretext of historical echoes, long mountain songs and the Silk Road, look back at traditional arts and pay tribute to national culture with regional symbols such as white copper reliefs, back plate lacquer and zhuangjin, copper drums, and hydrangeas.
Chongzuo Huashan rock paintings, Qin Shi Huang Xiu Ling Canal, the myth of the Bird Dress, and the legend of Liu Sanjie all seem to have stepped out of history on the wall; the major ethnic minorities gathered on March 3rd, Panwang Festival and other grand gatherings to sing mountain songs, as well as the scene of close communication with Southeast Asian countries through the Maritime Silk Road, highlighting the harmonious progress of the people of Yongcheng.
The law "like" is solemn
Withdrawing his thoughts from the museum relief, a turn on the right is this auspicious "Dharma Solemnity", which crosses the dimension of the five elephants behind it, and quietly crouches on the hanging scroll to welcome all guests, which is novel and extraordinary.
Detail deconstructs tradition
The journey to the sky lobby is transformed by Studio Munge into an unforgettable journey to experience the rich arts and crafts of the Zhuang people: the high-altitude deconstruction of modular chandeliers from the prismatic surface of traditional lanterns, the high-speed elevator is embedded with a typical brocade textured light strip embedded in the handmade leather cushion wall, and even the elevator hall itself is transformed into the courtyard of the courtyard building.
Sculpture singing a mountain song
At the least, of course, is the moment you arrive at the lobby on the 68th floor, the light pours into the beautiful scenery of the whole city, and six people dressed in national costumes are standing on different hills, singing mountain songs to welcome you.
Hotel reception
Along the brown-gray granite floor, which resembles a custom pattern of roof tiles, fabric, dark jade, wooden screens, and inlaid copper grilles transition from ground to ceiling. When the special person guides the check-in, the young lady at the front desk will also use the Nanning vernacular that is popular all over the Internet to make people feel very kind.
VIP lounge, lobby bar and Paragon Pavilion
Also on the ground floor are Shangri-La's exclusive Horizon Club Lounge, Lobby Lounge and all-day dining restaurant, The Paragon Pavilion.
The dark walls contrast with warm white lighting, embellished floral and light-coloured fabrics to create an antique, unobtrusive social space. The looming "fragrance" of snail powder and old friend powder wafts out of it, and a signature afternoon tea is ordered to reminisce with friends in front of the window.
A painting that symbolizes an enhanced amount of privacy
Turning into another patio, the rooms are led by three paintings of ethnic minorities singing and dancing in the abstract with paint, which gradually become smaller and the number of characters decreases, suggesting that the hotel has shifted from open to private.
The two rooms are constructed into a unit, with a semi-private waiting room in the door, and the grille light and shadow room is like the scene when you go home at night, further transitioning to the private residence.
Basic room overview
The rooms, designed by CCD and Nao Tanivama & Associates, bring out the new Chinese style with Zhuang flavors.
The basic guest rooms are themed "Magnificent Heavenly Edge", abstractly evolved with a zigzag texture, which is presented in detail on the background wall, wooden sliding doors and even the air conditioning outlet; the addition of Futian and cloud patterns eliminates repetition and vertigo.
Local flair elements
Another element that Zhuang Jin loved, the Divine Bird Phoenix, was also extracted and applied to the side of the Chest of Drawer, with bright reds and intricate lines. In the elegant space of the guest room, this is definitely a bold attempt to stand out.
Local landscape paintings, detailed drawings of Zhuangjin, and welcome desserts with hydrangeas in Nanning City, local customs are unfolded in the five senses.
Bedside details are displayed in the basic rooms and suites
The addition of the most advanced hardware facilities, such as smart screens, washlets, temperature control knobs, induction lights and other functions, undoubtedly ensures the smoothness and convenience of this humanistic habitat. Of course, the soul reading "The Vanishing Horizon" also reappeared.
Unfortunately, the trip did not experience the 71st floor terrace with the so-called highest outdoor pool. The outdoor social bar will be connected to the pool lounge area, where you can enjoy a drink and look down on the sky, or lower your glass and jump into the clear waves.
Another highlight after full opening in May is the most distinctive duplex dry-rail suite.
"Passing by the balcony, the orchid carving is outside; the sister has a big dry rail, leading the brother to sing and rejoice", through a hundred-year-old tree to the village, see this quaint dry fence wooden building, imagine that you are also a villager in it with soil cloth clothes, and truly experience the life of the ancestors.
Maybe it is my impatience that caused the lack of a corner of this trip to be complete, then Nanning Shangri-La, two months later I will revisit the same place and unveil your last mystery!
