Nestled independently by the Shalixian Stream, Cicada’s Whisper Retreat is surrounded by various plants such as plum blossoms, cherry trees, maple trees, and osmanthus. Nine red-tiled white wooden cabins blend into the green mountain forests, offering expansive views and picturesque scenery. The fragrance of flowers and breathtaking views are always within reach.

In addition to private hot spring tubs in each room, the outdoor area features stone-built open-air cold springs, hot springs, and public pools for both hot and cold water—including the unisex Dragon Pool, Phoenix Pool, and Family Pool, where swimsuits are not required. Guests can soak under the starry sky free from constraints and truly enjoy the experience.
