I took a vacation in Ningbo, and everyone thought I got a facelift?!

If the joy of traveling 🧳 is encountering beautiful scenery, then the joy of a vacation is encountering a more beautiful version of yourself! This time, I went to Ningbo with my bestie for a three-day, two-night trip filled with eating, drinking, and snapping gorgeous photos—so gorgeous that my friends thought I’d gotten work done. But in reality, we just picked the right hotel 🏨!

This getaway at Shangri-La Ningbo truly awakened my summer 🎨 dopamine—my mood was so uplifted, it was like biu biu biu, making me glow even more! Shangri-La Ningbo boasts an unbeatable location at the confluence of three rivers, offering stunning city views 🌃 right from the room! The surrounding area is vibrant, with THE PARK by K11 Select, Tianyi Square, and Qita Temple just a short walk away!

Since we booked the 🏙 Horizon Club Executive Floor, we enjoyed exclusive Horizon Club privileges! During our stay, we indulged in complimentary buffet 🥞 breakfast and evening 🥂 canapés and dishes at the Happy Hour! There were also all-day ☕️ coffee, 🍵 tea, and 🥤 soft drinks! Dining with a breathtaking river view was pure bliss—from the seafood noodles and Ningbo glutinous rice balls at breakfast to the crayfish at Happy Hour… it was truly delightful!

The hotel’s Café Yun 🍴 buffet restaurant and 🍷 Lobster Bar & Grill each have their own charm! Especially the Shang Palace Chinese Restaurant, which blends innovative Huaiyang cuisine with Cantonese classics. This time, we caught the hotel’s "Sichuan Food Festival"! Executive Chef Zhou Hui teamed up with Chef Peng Yong from Shangri-La Chengdu to serve up authentic Ningbo and Sichuan flavors in one go—absolutely unforgettable!

Though vacations are about relaxation, besides eating nonstop, we girls couldn’t resist snapping 📷 photos every day! Beyond the Horizon Club lounge and restaurants, the glamping van outside the lobby lounge was super photogenic! And after feasting, we could hit the 4th-floor fitness center for some 🏃‍♀️ running, 🏊‍♀️ swimming, or 🎾 outdoor tennis, or unwind at Chi The Spa 💆!

In short, at Shangri-La Ningbo, even with just a few hundred steps a day, you can fulfill your desires for delicious food, stunning views, and Insta-worthy photos! So, how could you not come back even more beautiful after such a vacation?!
