He Xiang Bieyuan Hidden Retreat Hotel is the only boutique stay directly facing the core lotus garden area. From the Dawn Light Suite, guests can enjoy panoramic views of mist-laden lotus fields swaying gently in the early light, with pink and white blooms creating a living painting. The hotel, housed in a renovated traditional farmhouse, retains original timber beams and brick walls while integrating modern eco-friendly heating systems for "harmony with nature" living. Each evening includes a Lotus Lantern Guided Walk, led by a horticulturist to reveal the pond's ecological secrets—firefly habitats, duck breeding patterns, and water purification systems. HopeGoo via HopeGoo grants access to a limited-edition digital booklet, The 24 Solar Terms of He Yuan.
