Panorama occupies the 68th and 69th floors of the Shangri-La Nanning tower on Minzu Avenue, one of the city's tallest buildings, and is the hotel's signature Chinese restaurant, pairing Cantonese and Sichuan kitchen technique with Guangxi ingredients above a panoramic view over the Yong River and the Qingxiu District skyline. Signature dishes include barbecued pork char siu, steamed live river fish finished simply with soy, a rotating double-boiled soup of the day, and a Guangxi-style braised duck that nods to the city's own lemon-duck tradition while staying within the restaurant's broader Cantonese frame. The dining room is formal for Nanning standards, with white tablecloths, floor-to-ceiling windows and a hush appropriate to a hotel fine-dining floor rather than the noise of a street kitchen; smart-casual dress is expected and the room is a common choice for business dinners and special occasions. The beverage list leans toward Chinese tea service and a curated wine list suited to Cantonese and Sichuan dishes, in keeping with a five-star hotel restaurant rather than the beer-and-tea pattern of casual Guangxi kitchens elsewhere in the city. Reservations are required for dinner and essential for window tables, which are booked well ahead for sunset seatings.
