Rizhao Egret Bay Town, Shandong｜Discover the "Little Altay" of Shandong!

[Liberty] Egret Bay Town is a unique town that combines art, nature, and pastoral scenery, known as the "Anaya of Rizhao." Here, you'll find not only master-level architectural designs but also vast grasslands, lakes, and pastures, making it perfect for friends who love photography, camping, and a slow-paced lifestyle. 💡 Travel Tips: 1️⃣ 🚗: Located in Wulian County, Rizhao, 100 kilometers from Qingdao, ideal for short self-driving trips from the island city. 2️⃣ 🏨: Caomu Guangyin hotel is recommended, while Rose Courtyard is better suited for group travel. 3️⃣ 🍽️: Owner’s canteen or themed restaurants. Taste Rizhao’s Chinese cuisine, freshly baked urn kiln chicken from the Village Girl Market, kiln-fired pizza at the Train Restaurant, or kiln-baked bread from the Village Girl Market—all great choices. 4️⃣ 👗: Monochrome high-quality styles or colorful dopamine fairy tale styles both match well with the park. 📷 Photo Tips: Capture the minimalist lines of the Water Art Museum, the colorful comics at Train Park, the desolate grass and trees of Egret Pasture, the lonely valley of Cherry Blossom Town, the bright warm yellow of Rose Courtyard, and the natural light and shadows of coffee and trees. Every shot you take along the way is a stunning autumn masterpiece. 🚶‍♀️ Suggested Itinerary: Day 1 Artistic Healing Route: Caomu Guangyin → Taste Rizhao → Water Art Museum → Train Park → Village Girl Market ✔️ Caomu Guangyin When checking in, each room card is tucked inside a book.
