Shang Palace Qingdao
Shandong
Shang Palace in Shangri-La Qingdao’s City Wing places Huaiyang cooking at the centre of its menu, alongside Cantonese dishes, Shandong’s Lu cuisine and local favourites. The contemporary dining room offers a broad Chinese repertoire with a clearly stated regional emphasis. Featured preparations include Jinling salted duck, handmade noodles in crucian-fish broth and braised pork spare ribs with pine nuts. Double-boiled soups add another part of the menu, including versions with abalone and sea cucumber. Lunch and dinner are served, with the restaurant used for celebrations, business banquets and gatherings of friends. Its appeal lies in trying the Huaiyang dishes that distinguish this Shang Palace from the brand’s more Cantonese-focused venues elsewhere.
