GgoingnowFor our family trip, we booked three twin rooms via Trip.com. As a hotel located in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, our stay exceeded expectations, especially for families traveling with seniors and children.
Check-in and Upgrade: A Pleasant Surprise
Upon arrival, the front desk service was highly professional. Although the hotel is split into two buildings, 'Sanqing Tower' and 'Yunxi Tower,' with some facilities spread across them requiring a walk through a long corridor, the check-in process was smooth. We were fortunate that all rooms booked through Trip.com received a complimentary upgrade, including several with fantastic mountain views. Waking up to such scenery truly delighted the seniors.
Breakfast: A Taste of Local Flavors
Breakfast at the Green Ripple All-Day Dining restaurant offered a rich variety of dishes. What stood out most was the abundance of local Shangrao, Jiangxi specialties. We enjoyed sweet kudzu root juice, sticky fried dough sticks with glutinous rice cakes (youtiao maci), unique taro dumplings, and candied fruits like dried pumpkin and sweet potato. It was a refreshing and appealing spread for the seniors. The noodle station’s freshly cooked rice noodles and wontons were also excellent, perfect for an energy boost before hiking. The restaurant environment was comfortable, and refills were prompt.
Facilities: A Mix of Regret and Delight in the Mountains
The hotel boasts an indoor heated spring water pool, reportedly filled with clear mountain spring water. Unfortunately, our family itinerary was packed, and we didn't have time to take the children for a swim, which was the biggest regret of our trip. Other facilities like the gym and children's playground were also well-equipped.
Dinner: Highly Recommended Sanqingxuan Chinese Restaurant
I highly recommend dinner at Sanqingxuan Chinese Restaurant! All the local specialties we ordered were delicious, especially the local duck and special bean products. The flavors were authentic and received unanimous praise from the whole family. For rooms without executive lounge access, this is also where you can enjoy the executive set menu, offering great value and taste.
Summary
The Hilton Sanqingshan Resort is ideally located, just a few minutes' walk from the Waishuangxi cable car, making it perfect for families planning to explore Sanqingshan. Although the facilities show some age due to its earlier opening, the service is excellent. Coupled with the distinctive local cuisine and generous upgrade policy, our family trip was comfortable and hassle-free. If we return, we definitely plan to experience the pool!
