Shang Palace Hangzhou
Zhejiang
Shang Palace serves Hangzhou and Cantonese cooking on the third floor of Shangri-La Hangzhou's West Wing. Its Beishan Road address keeps the restaurant close to the northern shore of West Lake. Local specialities provide the clearest introduction to the menu. Songsao sour fish soup offers the lightly sharp flavour associated with the dish, while prawns stir-fried with Longjing tea link seafood to one of Zhejiang's defining products. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner within a formal Chinese dining setting. The focus on regional dishes makes it a useful complement to a visit around the lake, with Cantonese choices broadening the meal beyond Hangzhou alone.
