Hilton Sanqingshan Resort is the first and only internationally-branded resort in Shangrao, offering 372 guest rooms with panoramic views of the Chinese National AAAAA-rated tourist region, the highest ranking available for tourist attractions in China.

Hilton Sanqingshan Resort is also within easy reach of nearby attractions including the city of Jingdezhen and Huangshan and Wuyishan mountains.
