Rizhao is a really peaceful city, with a new urban area along the coast. The exhibition hall, stadium and five-star hotel are all very new in this area. It is a 3 km walk from the hotel, which is very suitable for Citywalk. It's not very busy during non-activity periods, but the prices are not high either. The scenery is beautiful, the rooms are new and the prices are not high. It is worth checking in. The hotel is relatively new and the lobby is very grand!! It's a great movie!! The lobby also has artworks created in collaboration with the art gallery. It's very comfortable to walk around the hotel. The room is large, spacious and bright, with a wide view. Is the executive lounge well designed? The view is first-class. It is very relaxing to have a drink and enjoy the sea breeze here in the evening. The hotel's public area design, pool and SPA are all very good. The front desk service was also very good, leaving a wonderful memory of the Rizhao trip. Although the children's playground in the hotel is not very big, it is enough for children to play. If you are traveling with children, you can take them for a walk in the hotel.

This grilled restaurant is really delicious, I ordered a combo for 2 people for just over 2k but the food is very good quality. The restaurant has an extremely spacious space, and there is even a robot that delivers food to the table. If you come to Taichung, don't miss it because there are so many locals, sometimes there are no tables #deliciousfood

The first time I saw the powder, I was gentle! On that day, four of us rode a sightseeing bicycle in the vast park and screamed at it. The large pink grass appeared like a cloud, and the mountains and lakes were blue. "Ten miles of wheel hooves are constantly, how many pink flowers are colorless", a small grass is so beautiful, right? The texture of is also soft, the legs are not touched at all, one can not see the color, and even into a pink cloud. October is the flowering period of pink grass, and go see them in the fall! Huaxiangzi Scenic Area, Xihu Town, Donggang District, Rizhao City (2 km from Wulian and West Lake exits of Ridong Expressway) scenic area ticket 35 (inside the park, another ride) Open date from October 1st to November 15th

The Wusanyi Arsenal is located in Wangwu Mountain, the hometown of Yugong Yishan. It was built in the 1970s and is mainly responsible for the production of military weapons. It is a typical representative of many three lines. Nowadays, the rumbling machine's rotating sound is no longer screaming, instead it is a new look for the new look - "the years town" is full of vitality. With the reform of the national system, the May 3rd arsenal has gradually moved out, and the workers returned to the city. Only a large, empty workshop indicates the prosperity of the past. Later, people used these idle arsenals to create the current "small towns" and built the "Arsenal Hotel" on the basis of this, to find the youthful youth. The May 13th factory, which has faded from the prosperity scene, not only took away the hustle and bustle of the people, but also took away the hope lights in the depths of the Taihang Mountains. Fortunately, today, decades later, the abandoned factories were used. The Jedi is born again, and writes a praise song for the development of a new era.

A must-try when you're in Rizhao! This Thank Inn hotel is really great! I was on a business trip to Rizhao and looked at many hotels before choosing this one after seeing the reviews. There were so many good reviews, so I decisively chose this one! 👍Most Recommended: I chose this hotel because I saw a picture of their noodle dish for breakfast in the reviews. The noodles have a large fried egg, greens, and a very large shrimp on top. As a northerner, I really like noodles, and these noodles are very delicious. Be sure to try them when you stay at this hotel. 🌟Highlights: Also, in the middle of winter, I was freezing when I arrived at the hotel. The hotel front desk not only provided good service, but also asked me if I had eaten dinner. I said that I had just arrived by train and hadn't eaten, but it was okay and I wouldn't eat. The front desk was very enthusiastic and said, "Let's check you in first, and then we'll deliver handmade dumplings to your room." After eating one, I could tell that they were really handmade. They were very delicious. I got to eat my two favorite foods from the north at this hotel. You have to eat well to sleep well, and now that I've eaten well, let's talk about the rooms. 🛏Room Amenities: The shower in the room is very comfortable, washing away the fatigue of the day. Lying on the cloud-like bed is really great. The sheets and bedding are also very comfortable and clean. The room is also very clean, and there is a message board on the desk. The cleaning lady really put her heart into it. The fatigue from my business trip was swept away, and I immediately felt like I wanted to extend my stay for another day!! 📝Note: When you check in during cold or hot weather, you can contact the front desk after booking and ask them to turn on the air conditioner in advance. Finally, I won't say anything else. Book this hotel now!

The two-day and one-night trip is over! I mean, no one can beat Rizhao on the track in spring 🌷🫡. Anyway, we had a lot of fun! Below⬇️I have sorted out my itinerary planning, food guide, travel tips⚠️, etc., I hope it will be useful to sisters🎉 - Most of the scenic spots in Rizhao are free of charge. They are all beautiful natural landscapes, and they are along the coastline, so it is super convenient to play! 🏜️Day 1: Shanhaitian Sunshine Coast-Taigong Island Oyster Park-Chocolate Fisherman's House-Wanpingkou Gate No. 3-Lighthouse Square (watch the sunset🌄) ✅Sunshine Coast: Take a taxi and navigate directly to Parking Lot No. 2. It takes 3 minutes to walk to the beach and you can directly see the "love" check-in point ✅Taigong Island: You can also go sea fishing in winter! There are a lot of oysters, crabs and starfish here, but the overall number is relatively small. Whether you can get anything depends on luck. 🌟Chocolate Fisherman: An old seafood shop that is passed down by word of mouth among locals. Steam pot seafood is the signature dish. The swimming crabs and mantis shrimps are indeed plump and sweet (the special sea intestine rice is very fresh! People in coastal cities love it. If inland sisters are not used to it, you can order a few people to try it first‼️) 🌟35 degree tea: Near Wanpingkou, sisters all go there to drink bean flavor ice extract! Slightly sweet with a strong bean flavor, it is very special and delicious! - 🏜️Day 2: Taohua Island Scenic Area-Lijiatai Reef Park-Renjiatai Reef Park 🌷Taohua Island: It is called "Little Jeju Island", but I think it is more beautiful than Jeju Island. The sea is very blue, the sand is very soft, and there are beautiful buildings. 🌷Lijiatai/Renjiatai: This is my favorite stone sea! The water here is more turbulent, and it is infinitely blue when the sky is clear! When there are not many people around, there is a sense of desolation, which is especially suitable for shooting "loneliness" blockbusters! 🌟Kuan Pozi: A very delicious seafood noodle restaurant, a well-known and affordable noodle shop in the local area. The toppings are all freshly fried, full of wok flavor. The store also does stir-fried dishes. My favorite is a bowl of hot Spanish mackerel noodles with spicy fried clams, super delicious! ! 🌟Mulan Restaurant: I personally feel that it tastes better than Domino’s, with a lot of cheese and it’s very rich, it smells so good when you take a bite! Durian and salted egg yolk chicken pizza, I recommend it all my life! ! - ⚠️Please note: 1️⃣The internet-famous coffee shop at Wanpingkou ☕️There are still many people there now, and there are not many seats on Saturdays and Sundays (if you want to go, go straight to Gate 2 of Wanpingkou) 2️⃣ Accommodation We stayed at the Mixc, which has many options and is evenly located to each attraction. If you want to see the sea, you can consider Taohua Island Beach B&B 3️⃣It’s sunny! Sunny day! The first element of a good-looking beach photo 4️⃣Don’t trust the restaurants recommended by taxi drivers, you still have to make your own guide. I was very disappointed after I went there😠😠

📸 Exploring Rizhao: A Coastal Paradise with Stunning Scenery During our visit to Rizhao, we explored some breathtaking spots that are perfect for capturing stunning photos. From golden beaches to picturesque mountain landscapes, this city offers a mix of coastal beauty and natural wonders. If you’re planning a trip, here are three must-visit places for unforgettable shots! 🏖️ Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park We visited the Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park, a peaceful retreat where the beach meets lush pine forests. The contrast of golden sand, deep blue sea, and green pine trees made every photo look like a postcard. The best time to visit is during sunrise when the first light of the day reflects beautifully on the ocean waves. If you love capturing serene coastal landscapes, I would highly recommend this place! 📍 Address: No. 1111 Binhai Road, Donggang District, Rizhao City, Shandong Province ⛰️ Wulian Mountain Scenic Area We explored Wulian Mountain, a hidden gem known for its stunning peaks, ancient temples, and seasonal flowers. The view from the top, overlooking rolling green hills and misty valleys, was absolutely breathtaking. The best time to visit is in the early morning when the fog creates a dreamy, mystical atmosphere. If you’re into nature and adventure photography, I would definitely recommend this spot! 📍 Address: Wulian County, Rizhao City, Shandong Province 🏯 Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area A trip to Rizhao wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area, a charming coastal spot with an iconic white lighthouse standing tall against the blue sea. Watching the sunset here, with waves crashing against the rocks, was one of the most beautiful moments of our trip. The best time to take photos is during sunset when the golden hues create a romantic and picturesque setting. If you enjoy capturing seascapes and city landmarks, this is a must-visit! 📍 Address: No. 2 Haitan Road, Donggang District, Rizhao City, Shandong Province Each of these locations showcases a different side of Rizhao, making it a fantastic destination for photography lovers.

At 4:30 am at the World Sailing Championship Base pier, the sea breeze carried the salty smell of fish. I clutched my phone, verifying the boat number, the screen displaying the legal registration number "Lu Yu Xiu ****". Five fishing boats were moored in the dawn, the blue light of the fish finders on their bows piercing the thin fog, like some mysterious ocean code. "Weigh anchor!" With Captain Lao Zhou's shout, the ten-meter-long white fishing boat cut through the indigo sea. Eight anglers scattered on the leather sofas, holding the free carbon fiber fishing rods, watched the GPS tracker draw earthworm-like trails on the map. When the boat suddenly slowed down, Lao Zhou grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted a code word: "The yellow carpet has arrived!" - This is fisherman slang for a yellow croaker gathering area. With the thud of the anchor hitting the seabed, the silvery fishing rig, baited with Antarctic krill, sank towards the thirty-meter-deep water layer. The spring seawater was still cold, but the blackhead fish were particularly hungry. As soon as the float trembled twice, a familiar tug was felt on the wrist. While reeling in the line, I caught a glimpse of an octopus flapping in the landing net of the lady next to me, its ink staining half the gunwale. The biggest surprise was encountering a passing school of Spanish mackerel while trolling. Five or six spinning reels simultaneously emitted a pleasant whirring sound, as if the entire sea was playing a symphony of harvest for us. [Rizhao Sea Fishing Guide] ⏱️Golden Sailing Time ▸ For chasing the morning light, choose 5:00-9:00, when Spanish mackerel are most active in the spring mist ▸ Tides are more important than time. Download the "Global Tide" app to check the tides 🚤Boat Selection ▸ Look for the "Lu Yu Xiu" license plate and refuse unlicensed fishing boats ▸ For 8 people, choose a 12-18 meter medium-sized fishing boat, which has a toilet and guarantees 1.5 meters of fishing space per person ▸ Beware of the "low price + bait charges" trick. The 299 yuan all-inclusive price includes 15 fishhooks + 3 boards of Antarctic krill ⚓️Spring Fishing Techniques ▸ Use a 300g lead sinker for bottom fish, and fluorescent lures for mid-level fish ▸ Yellow croaker "nod" when they bite, while blackhead fish pull like a "dead weight" ▸ Hold the rod at a 45° angle when trolling, allowing the fishing rig to drift 🦞Freshly Caught, Freshly Eaten: The processing stalls at the pier charge 10 yuan per kilogram. We recommend spicy stir-fried blackhead fish and steamed yellow croaker Bring your own cooler to store fresh fish on ice. Live fish can be checked in at Rizhao West Station ♟️Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: ▸ Refuse the "upgrade to a luxury boat" enticement. The boats at the same pier are basically the same ▸ Avoid trolling in rainy weather, as it can cause seasickness ▸ Wear a windproof jacket in April, as the seawater is 8℃ lower than the air temperature Returning to port, counting the seventeen fish in the cooler, I suddenly felt that sea fishing was like opening a blind box. The 299 yuan bought not only a four-hour boat trip, but also the opportunity to personally measure the depth of the Yellow Sea. As the stern of the boat cut through the phosphorescent waves, I remembered what Lao Zhou said: "The schools of fish under the sea are more punctual than the traffic lights on land." Perhaps this is the fairest gift the sea gives to law-abiding anglers.

I always thought Shandong was far away, but it turns out it's only a two-hour high-speed train ride from Yangzhou. Super convenient! My stay at the Sheraton Rizhao completely exceeded my expectations. Compared to established resort hotels in the Yangtze River Delta like the InterContinental Thousand Island Lake, it's just as good, if not better. It's a seriously underrated vacation spot! This hotel opened in 2021, and after a few years of operation, everything runs smoothly. It's located near the Wanpingkou Scenic Area, right on the bay, next to a marina, making it incredibly convenient for going out on the water.

If you don't want to bring your own, some fishing spots offer rentals. - Bait: Recommended baits include lugworms, sand lance, shrimp, ragworms, squid strips, and sea intestines, as these are popular with fish. - Other Items: Prepare sun protection such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.

It was a trip to Rizhao, China 🇨🇳 When we visited Rizhao, we were amazed by its coastal charm, golden beaches, and scenic landscapes 🙌 We started our day early ☀️ at Wanpingkou Scenic Area, and trust us, it was worth it. The sunrise over the sea, with the reflection on the calm waters, made for breathtaking photos 📸 The golden hour here is magical, and you can capture the morning mist blending into the ocean 🌊 We explored the boardwalk, took photos of the lighthouse, and even saw locals practicing Tai Chi. 📍 No. 3 Haibin 5th Road, Donggang District, Rizhao, Shandong, China We then headed to Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The contrast of the white lighthouse against the deep blue sky and sea is picture-perfect 📸 We recommend visiting before 10 AM to avoid crowds and capture the serene beauty of the place. You can also take silhouette shots with the lighthouse during this time. 📍 No. 101 Lvyou Road, Donggang District, Rizhao, Shandong, China We explored the Seaside National Forest Park 🌳 which gave us some of the most stunning natural backdrops. The park has beautiful walking trails, dense pine forests, and a long coastline. The midday sun filtering through the trees created a dreamy lighting ✨ effect for photos. A pro tip: bring a picnic and enjoy the peaceful surroundings while waiting for softer afternoon light ☀️ 📍 Address: Wulian Mountain, Donggang District, Rizhao, Shandong, China For sunset, we highly recommend Golden Beach 🏝️ When we visited, the warm hues of the setting sun reflecting on the sand and waves were absolutely mesmerizing. The best time to capture the golden glow is around 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, depending on the season ✨ Long-exposure shots here turn out fantastic, especially as the sky changes colors. 📍 No. 8 Haibin 2nd Road, Donggang District, Rizhao, Shandong, China We also explored the Rizhao Port area and the local night market 🛍️ The neon lights of the harbor create a cool cityscape shot, while the bustling market offers vibrant street photography opportunities 📸 The seafood here is also a must-try! 📍 Rizhao Port, Donggang District, Rizhao, Shandong, China This itinerary is perfect for capturing Rizhao’s best photography spots while also experiencing its coastal beauty 🙌🙌🙌 #discoverchina #Vacation #travel
