Yun Jing
Shenzhen, China; 70F, Raffles Shenzhen, T7, One Shenzhen Bay, 3008 Zhongxin Road, Nanshan, Shenzhen, China
Yun Jing turns a lofty position above Shenzhen Bay into a setting for serious Cantonese dining. On the seventieth floor of Raffles Shenzhen, its bright interiors and wide views establish an immediate sense of occasion. Ten private rooms take inspiration from gemstones, while artworks by Colombian sculptor Gustavo Vélez give the space a character beyond conventional hotel opulence. The kitchen’s repertoire runs through the foundations of Cantonese hospitality: double-boiled soups, barbecue, poultry and seafood. Michelin singles out sunflower seed-fed chicken and mantis shrimp cooked with basil and fried garlic, dishes that suggest the breadth between delicacy and more assertive seasoning. The interest lies in how familiar preparations are sharpened and presented, rather than in a constant pursuit of novelty. Awarded two stars in the 2026 Michelin Guide, Yun Jing belongs among the city’s essential special-occasion tables. It particularly suits diners who want an extensive Chinese meal with room to choose their own progression. Allow time for the setting as well as the food; this is a restaurant whose relationship with Shenzhen’s skyline is integral to its appeal.
