Drawing on precious local hot spring resources, Shangtianran Hot Spring Resort follows the mission of “hot spring wellness & forest vacations”, offering busy urbanites an ideal retreat for physical and mental recuperation. Escaping urban hustle is a shared desire for all modern city dwellers, and seeking peace appeals to common folks and royalties alike. It attracts intellectual elites, appealing to successful people who value identity, status and cultural taste. Here you find blue skies, white clouds, green meadows, rural green hills and misty scenery. Distant and nearby views are blanketed in lush verdure. Hot spring pools encircle pavilions arranged naturally along mountain contours, villas scattered in neat clusters, and a spectacular giant Hakka tulou round house.

The Houlong Mountain Villa Hotel stands out for its pastoral cottage style with bold avant-garde designs. Spiral garden staircases feature North American-European loft layouts, and every villa boasts a unique decorative style. Options include seven-bedroom-one-living-room or nine-bedroom-one-living-room layouts to suit diverse tastes. Each villa features a gorgeous duplex living hall and five-star guest rooms with stunning mountain views and fresh air, perfect for multi-family group getaways. Every bedroom comes with an independent balcony and en-suite bathroom. Each three-storey villa with seven bedrooms contains three king-size master rooms and four twin rooms; nine-bedroom villas hold four king rooms and five twin rooms.

The Chinese restaurant serves green natural specialities with secret recipes. Spanning over 2,300 square metres, it seats over 600 diners and specialises in premium Cantonese dishes.

There are more than 50 open-air and villa private hot spring pools, including fish spa pools, hydrotherapy pools, volcanic mud baths, bubbling fun pools, immortal spring pools, space sand baths and a children’s pool.

For visitors who enjoy virtual farming online, the resort provides real plots of land to grow preferred vegetables. Guests may tend their fields during visits, while dedicated staff maintain the plots year-round. Owners can monitor crop growth remotely online and harvest ripe produce in person, letting urban residents immerse themselves in farm life and enjoy the joy of manual labour.

It takes roughly 2 hours to drive here from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Nanhai, Zengcheng, Shunde and Zhongshan. The Longmen interchange of the Guangdong-Hunan Expressway will be built just 1 kilometre from the resort.
