Xinghe Guoji VIP Lounge
★4.2(6 reviews)RIZ · Main Terminal · airside
A calm DragonPass lounge by Gate 1, with panoramic runway views.
The Xinghe Guoji VIP Lounge sits airside at Rizhao Shanzihe Airport, at the Star River VIP reception by Gate 1. It's an independent contract lounge reachable on DragonPass — unlike the airport's First Class Lounge, it does not accept Priority Pass. The space has modern decor in neutral tones with accents of blue, and large floor-to-ceiling windows give panoramic views of the runway, so you can watch aircraft come and go from plush seating. Lighting is soft and warm and noise levels are low, which makes it an easy place to relax or get a little light work done. Facilities are kept simple for a small regional lounge — Wi-Fi, a charging station, air conditioning, snacks and soft drinks — and crowding is usually moderate, peaking around the main flight departures, with a stay capped at around two hours.
Crowding · moderate, peaks around departures
A decent place for light work, with reliable Wi-Fi, a charging station and power near most seats. Desk space is limited, so it suits laptop-on-lap email and calls more than a serious work session, but it's quiet enough for a call.
A modest self-service selection suited to a small lounge — complimentary snacks with hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks, including freshly brewed coffee. Enough for a quick refreshment before boarding rather than a full meal.
After clearing the security check, turn right; the Xinghe Guoji VIP Lounge is at the Star River VIP reception by Gate 1.
