As soon as the elevator doors open to the softly lit fourth floor, guests are greeted with

Shangri-La, the interior design
observes Asian aesthetics and
principles of harmony and
balance. One of the most

sculptural
flora.

Exclusive Facial
Pearls have been used for health and beauty for over
2,000 years. Chemical analysis shows that pearls contain
amino acids (the building blocks of protein and collagen),
minerals, including calcium, and polysaccharides for skin
tone, clarity and smooth texture. It is also known that
pearls contain age control nutrients that reduce the
transfer of melanin to the skin, hence alleviating dark
patches and spots. In traditional Chinese medicine, pearl
powder has a cooling effect with balancing properties. It
eases inflammation and supports the skin'
s natural
metabolism to heal, rejuvenate, minimise pores and
reduce redness. In the Qing Dynasty, Ci’xi, the last
empress dowager of China, is said to have preferred pearl masks to maintain her
complexion.
Available exclusively at the CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou, the
Oriental Pearl Radiance Facial therapist applies nano pearl powder – pearl powder so
fine a grain is just one thousandth of a millimetre in size, thus enabling a higher
absorption rate of nutrients. The whole treatment also includes a tension releasing
back massage, a pressure point face massage and an antioxidant green tea face
compress for maximum radiance effect.
MEETING AND BANQUETING VENUES

South China, Shangri-La Hotel,

EXPLORING THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Canton Tower - 5km/8mins by taxi from the hotel
The Guangzhou TV Tower, or ‘the supermodel’ as it’s locally known, gracefully acts
as the centerpiece to Guangzhou’s architectural statement: the Zhu Jiang New Town
and what a statement! At 600 metres high, visitors have the opportunity to visit the top
of the tallest TV tower in the world where they can ride the aptly named highest Ferris
wheel in the world as the city’s lights shine from below. Not a fan of heights? Enjoy a
view of the tower from The Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou, a view that architect Mark
Hemmel promises is one-of-a-kind; no two angles of sight share the exact same
perspective.
Add: Yi Yuan Road, Hai Zhu District
Redtory - 6.5km/12mins by taxi from the hotel
Once a sprawling canning factory on the outskirts of town, Redtory embodies the
post-industrial transformation Guangzhou craves. Today, the area is very much within
the heart of the city, where the Shangri-La Hotel, Guangzhou is not a stone’s throw
away across the river. Redtory is an expression of community through art, and the
village is immense, with wide boulevards lined with industrial sculpture pieces and
funny bronze statues granting easy access to any number of free exhibition halls and
showrooms. This sanctuary for those who appreciate art in an informal setting
represents a clear sign of Guangzhou’s newly found diversity of tastes.
Add: 128 Yuan Cun Si Heng Road, Tian He District
The Guangzhou Opera House - 8km/17mins by taxi from the hotel
Designed by Zaha Hadid, a renowned international architect, the opera house in step
with the Beijing National Theatre and the Shanghai Theatre; a group considered as the
three biggest theatres in China. With a 1,800 seats capacity and a multifunctional
digital hall with an area of 2,500 square metres, it offers a unique opportunity to
experience live performances across a variety of genres.

Guangzhou New Library - 8km/17mins by taxi from the hotel
The ‘Beautiful Book’ is 98,000 square metres of pure literary splendor in the heart of
the new city – Zhu Jiang New Town. The library is an architectural marvel where kids
can explore comics and storybooks while adults peruse through a limited, but
interesting selection of English titles.
Add: Zhu Jiang East Road, Zhu Jiang New Town, Tian He District
Guangdong Museum - 8km/19mins by taxi from the hotel
While it’s worth the trip just to see the building’s famed ‘jewelry box’ design, the new
Guangdong Museum showcases an array of unseen treasures within. This five-storey
building consists of four large exhibition halls with a collection of over 160,000
exhibits. Most notable of which is the paleontology exhibit, host to an army of
prehistoric dinosaur bones, from the wacky-looking Stegosaurus to everyone’s
favorite, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Add: 2 Zhu Jiang East Road, Zhu Jiang New Town, Tian He District
Pearl River Night Cruise - 18km/30mins by taxi from the hotel
Guangzhou is a city defined by its river, and no visitor should leave before taking a
short trip along it by boat. And there’s no better way to take in the sights than on a
night time dinner cruise as Cantonese chefs whip up local delicacies and passengers
marvel at the bright city lights.
