Meet World Champion Swimmer Pan Zhanle, A Friend of Shangri-La
1.08 seconds. That’s all it took for world champion Pan Zhanle to seize gold.
But the real work happened long before — in early starts no one saw, in quiet setbacks no one heard — where resilience grew and ambition endured.
At Shangri-La, we believe it’s the pause before a breakthrough, the calm after a challenge, the meaning found in everyday experiences — these are the seconds that shape who we are.
Together with Pan, we invite you to celebrate the small yet extraordinary moments that shape your story.
Stay tuned for member-exclusive opportunities to meet and interact with Pan Zhanle at Shangri-La!
