Drawing inspiration from Nanchang’s rich art scene, the interior style of Shangri-La Hotel features traditional Chinese ink paintings and blue and white porcelain. Also incorporated in the open spaces are lotus emblems to honour Zhu Da – the city’s most prominent calligrapher and painter from the Ming Dynasty – and a five-metre handcrafted chandelier inspired by the beauty of blooming flowers.
