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.
"沒想到日照市還能發現如此寶藏地方。低調藴藉,內秀深含,不愧是有着靈秀山水、深厚文化的五蓮。老闆一定是有信仰的人,最裏處有佛堂,處處禪意灑落。於建築、園林、房間裝修的打造用意深心,毫不苟且。仲秋之日,花木扶疏,桂子味的香風陣陣,一步一景,品味着織錦、唐卡、琴、陶、染、湯、泉。一泓秋水悠悠,道盡人生的哲學。人山俱樸,凝成一團貴秀靜氣的精魂。識之者,人之福也,不識之,固自在也。"
