Nestled on the shores of Songyue Lake in Wulian County, Rizhao, Hong Homes is a serene hot spring retreat surrounded by forested hills and breathtaking lake views. Easily accessible via the Weifang–Rizhao Expressway and National Highway 342, the resort is just 10 km from the scenic Jiuxian Mountain and offers direct access to hiking trails around Ma’er Mountain.
Set across 10 acres of peaceful countryside, the resort features natural hot spring water at 85°C (185°F), piped directly into the property. It’s a place to slow down, soak, and recharge — whether in the privacy of your indoor hot spring bath or in outdoor pools with views of bamboo groves and calm waters.
Hong Homes Retreat celebrates traditional Chinese culture in a relaxed, welcoming way. Guests can try a tea ceremony, practice calligraphy, learn the guqin (a classical Chinese instrument), enjoy photography, or simply unwind in the art-filled communal spaces.
The surrounding orchards offer seasonal fruit picking almost year-round — cherries, peaches, apples, and chestnuts — giving you a true taste of the local land.
With its blend of natural hot springs, quiet cultural experiences, and lush orchard scenery, this is an ideal destination for travelers seeking stillness, comfort, and an authentic connection with rural China.
"Facilities: Not bad, better than expected
Hygiene: Not bad, highly recommended
Environment: The entire hotel is by the lake. I stayed in a lake-view suite with a large bed, a living room and a separate bedroom upstairs. It has a good layout and is suitable for a family.
Service: The service is very good. Even after calling for a long time, there was no one at the hot spring. There was only a waterproof uncle👨🏻🦱"
