Rizhao is named because the sun shines first. It is located on the coast of the Yellow Sea and is a beautiful seaside town. There are 60 kilometers of golden beaches along the coast from south to north, and the most important attractions in Rizhao are concentrated here. Rizhao Wanpingkou is the nearest bathing beach to Rizhao city and the second bathing beach in Rizhao. The sand quality of the bathing beach is good and the facilities are complete. The disadvantage is that the waves are larger than other bathing beaches. People with poor water skills are advised to bring swimming rings to swim in the shallows. Since it is the closest to the urban area, not only tourists from out of town, but also locals come here to swim in the summer. During the peak tourist season, it is the most crowded beach in Rizhao. "When traveling to Rizhao, you must visit Wanpingkou" has become a common knowledge among tourists from all over the world. The beach coastline is 4 kilometers long, with wide beach, stable waves and fine sand as its main features.
Wanpingkou Scenic Area is an emerging tourist attraction on the golden coastline of Rizhao City. It is located in the new urban area with a total area of ??4.6 square kilometers. The annual average temperature is 12.6 degrees Celsius, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. It has a superior geographical location and convenient transportation.

The area has the second largest lagoon in Asia. The superior geographical location, convenient transportation and pleasant climate make it a popular summer resort for Chinese and foreign tourists for leisure, vacation, summer escape and recuperation.
To the south of Wanpingkou is the lighthouse. It used to be the first bathing beach in Rizhao, but it was later decommissioned. There are many rocks here and the waves are relatively big. In the scenic area, there is a lighthouse with a height of more than 30 meters. It was originally used as a navigation beacon, but now it has become the symbol of the lighthouse scenic area. There may not be anything special about this place during the day, but only when you look at the night view of the lighthouse at night will you appreciate the charm of the lighthouse. There are bright lights everywhere, shining on the blue sea, making people feel like a dream.
About five kilometers north of Wanpingkou is the Rizhao Third Bathing Beach, which is also a free bathing beach. The beach of this bathing beach is very flat and swimming safety is very good. The bathing area is very large and is very suitable for swimming. More importantly, the bathing area is surrounded by folk villages. After staying in the folk village and changing into swimsuits, tourists can walk to the seaside, which is very convenient. To the south of the third bathing beach is the Shanhaitian Bathing Beach. The two bathing beaches are connected. It will be very pleasant to hold a swimming ring in the sea and enjoy the feeling of being washed by the waves. It will be very pleasant to go with the current. There are many barbecue spots on the beach next to the bathing beach. Pay attention to hygiene and freshness when eating to avoid food poisoning.
Rizhao Lunan National Forest Park is located at the northernmost end of Rizhao Golden Beach and is a paid attraction. The park is divided into a seaside area and a forest area. The seaside area is the Rizhao Fourth Bathing Beach. The beach here is very delicate and the water is clear. You can pick up shells on the beach, and if you are lucky, you can even dig out crabs. If you are tired from playing at the beach, you can go to the forest area, bring a hammock and tie it to two trees at a suitable distance, lie in the dense forest and watch the lushness of the jungle, and feel the rare coolness in summer. The park has dense trees, clean sea water, flat beach and fine sand. It combines blue sky, blue sea, green trees and golden sand beach. It is a first-class natural beach in the north. The park is long from north to south, short from east to west, high in the north and low in the south. It is mainly a beach deposited by the ebb tide of the Yellow Sea. Occupying nearly 7 kilometers of coastline, the beach is gentle and soft, and the sea water is clear and clean. It is a rare natural beach in northern China. The average width of the beach is 180 meters. The sand here is fine, the waves are small, the water is clear, and the beach is flat. It is a natural beach sports ground and an excellent place for beach sports.
Sun exposure in Rizhao is very severe. Be careful to put on sunscreen when swimming, otherwise you may get sunburned. The beaches of bathhouses are generally contracted, and there is a fee for using plug-in parasols or setting up tents on the beach. There is chargeable storage, bathrooms and changing rooms on the beach. Try to avoid striking up conversations with strangers, and be careful to prevent fraud and theft.
In addition to swimming and eating seafood when you come to Rizhao, you can also go to the sea and collect shells. To catch the sea is to harvest some seafood such as shellfish, small fish, shrimp, small crabs and other seafood in the reefs where the sea water recedes when the tide is low. The places suitable for catching the sea in Rizhao are Taigong Island, Lijiatai Beach Resort and Liujiawan Beach Resort.
Taigong Island is a small reef island. It is usually submerged during high tide and only emerges when low tide. The marine life on the island is still very rich. If you lift the rocks, there will usually be a lot of small crabs underneath. The reefs are also covered with various shellfish, sea rainbows, oysters and so on. Sea urchins and starfish are also common seafood on the island. With tools and a keg, there's always something to be gained on the island. However, the rocks on Taigong Island are very sharp, so be careful of falls and scratches. When going to the island, you generally need to wear thick-soled shoes and bring a band-aid to prevent emergencies. Taigong Island is a tidal island. Do not stay on the island when the tide is high and return to shore as soon as possible. When you return to the shore and watch the high tide, you will find that the seemingly large island is submerged little by little.
Lijiatai Sea Catchment Park is also a free place to catch the sea. Unlike Taigong Island, Lijiatai’s sea catchment point is on the shore. After the tide goes out, there are many small fish and shrimps left on the rocks on the shore. Tools and techniques, many visitors have learned a lot.
Peach Blossom Island is more like a scenic spot island. There are many peach trees planted on the island. In the warm spring, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, giving off the smell of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. The island is surrounded by rocks and surrounded by seafood farming areas. Standing at the Guanhai Pavilion on the island and looking at the vast expanse of surroundings, you will feel as if you are facing the Jieshi in the east to view the vast sea. Taohua Island is a paid attraction. The island is relatively large and it is also a relatively famous attraction offshore Rizhao.
Liujiawan Beach Garden belongs to Taoluo Town in Rizhao. It is far away from Rizhao City, about 20 kilometers away. From the urban area to Liujiawan Beach Garden, you usually need to take a taxi or take Rizhao to Lanshan of coastal line buses. There is a fee for catching the sea here. In addition to catching the sea, there are other projects in the park, such as folk performances, folk exhibitions, fishing, etc. A new golf course has also been built here, and of course the price of the course is relatively high. In addition to the scenic spots on the Rizhao seaside, there are also more distinctive scenic spots such as Wulian Mountain, Jiuxian Mountain, Fulai Mountain, Longmengu Scenic Area, and Zhudongtian. Wulian Mountain is located in Wulian County, Rizhao City. The scenery is beautiful and pleasant. It was once praised by a famous writer in the Song Dynasty as "the beauty is as beautiful as the wild geese". Especially when the azaleas bloom in spring, there are thousands of acres of azalea gardens in Wulian Mountain and Jiuxian Mountain, and they are colorful everywhere. The main attractions are the Wulian Mountain Giant Buddha, Guangming Temple, Lotus Peak, etc. Although the area is not as large as those famous mountains and rivers, it is not inferior in momentum.
Fulai Mountain is located in Ju County, Rizhao. The main attractions are the largest ginkgo tree in Jiangbei, Dinglin Temple and Jiaojing Tower. The most famous one is the largest ginkgo tree in Jiangbei, which is said to be at least 3,500 years old. The trees are tall and leafy. Ju County has a long history and splendid culture. Ju culture, Qi culture and Lu culture are also known as the three major cultures in Shandong. Fulai Mountain is the birthplace of Ju culture. Dinglin Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, the largest ginkgo tree in the world, Liu Xie School Scripture Building and other landscapes , Life-saving Spring, Wolong Spring and other three famous springs are famous far and wide, unique at home and abroad, and have high cultural relic research value and tourist attraction. Dinglin Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, is where the literary theory critic Liu Xie returned to the north in his later years to collect books and compile scriptures. It has a history of more than 1,500 years and is one of the oldest temples in Shandong Province. Liu Xie's Scripture School is a two-story building. The "Jiaojing Building" engraved on the door is inscribed by the historian Mr. Guo Moruo.
Longmengu Scenic Area is located in Sanzhuang Town, Rizhao. It is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Since this is the legendary place where Bald-tailed Old Li was born, the legend here is greater than the value of the attraction. The main attraction is Lovers' Stone. , Conch Cave, etc.
The above non-seaside attractions are all paid attractions. They are far away from the city and the transportation is not very convenient. If there are many people and don’t want to back up, it is recommended that tourists take a taxi. Zhudongtian is located in the western suburbs of the old town of Rizhao. Visitors can take a bus from the city to the long-distance bus station and then take bus 15 to get there. The distance is quite convenient. The scenic area is dominated by bamboo, which mainly expresses Jiangnan customs and folk customs.
There are often performances with ethnic minority characteristics in the bamboo forest. Friends who like it can go and see it. Enjoying tea and admiring bamboo, the mood is pretty good.
Rizhao also has one of the best in the world. The world's largest cliff stone carving with Chinese characters "Rizhao" is engraved on the river mountain. The simple word "zhao" can accommodate more than a dozen people standing on it. It is rare. However, the development of Heshan Scenic Area is not enough. Apart from these two big characters, there is nothing else.

Generally speaking, there are not many tourist attractions in Rizhao. Most tourists come here for the sea and seafood. Rizhao is indeed the most suitable place for leisure travel. Excellent air quality, wide streets, and hygienic environment are what many people yearn for. Most tourists in Rizhao also admire and like the environment in Rizhao, where they can swim and eat seafood. Life is so pleasant. A customer once said to me: Living in your sunshine will increase your life span by several years. If you are a tourist who likes scenic spots more than leisure, it is recommended to shorten your trip to the beach and visit more scenic spots such as Wulian Mountain, Jiuxian Mountain, and Fulai Mountain.
You can’t come to Rizhao without eating seafood. Seafood is the main specialty of Rizhao. Swimming crabs, prawns, prawns, prawns and all kinds of fish are all available. There is no shortage of seafood in Rizhao. The key is how to eat truly delicious seafood. When eating seafood, you must first choose fresh seafood. Live seafood is the best. Of course, live seafood is more expensive. Some seafood will die out of water, while others cannot be kept alive at all. We have to choose fresh seafood like this. To determine the freshness of seafood, look, smell, and feel. It is easy to identify the freshness of seafood such as octopus, squid, and shrimp. Stale seafood will change color. If the belly of octopus becomes red and black, and the hair of prawns is black, it means it is not fresh enough. The color of many fish is difficult to distinguish, so smell it. If there is a faint smell, it is likely that the fish is not fresh. Many seafood are soaked in water and will not change color at all. The color will turn slightly white and it is difficult to distinguish, so you have to test the feel. Seafood that has been soaked in water feels rough, while fresh seafood feels a bit sticky and sticks to your hands. In fact, not all stale seafood cannot be eaten. There is a saying in Rizhao that "stinky fish and rotten shrimps". Eating fish and shrimps with flavor will not cause harm to normal people, but the taste will be worse than fresher ones. Frozen seafood is all fresh seafood that is directly frozen to preserve it, so the taste will not be much different. You have to be much stricter when eating crabs and shellfish, especially crabs. Try not to eat them dead. Even if it is a dead crab without any peculiar smell, you must be careful when eating it. If you are not careful, you may be poisoned. Crabs are delicious and tender, and the price of female crabs is higher than that of male crabs. Don't think that those with crab roe are female crabs. In autumn, many male crabs also have crab roe. The method of distinguishing male and female crabs is very simple. Look at the abdomen of the crab. The one with a round navel is a female crab, and the one with a triangular navel is a male crab. Rizhao cuisine belongs to Shandong cuisine and is relatively salty in taste. Most dishes are cooked by steaming, stewing, frying, and stir-frying. When tourists who are not used to Shandong cuisine should remember to state their preferences in advance when ordering, try to eat to their satisfaction.
Accommodation: There are several three-star, four-star and quasi-four-star hotels in Rizhao, but only one five-star hotel. During peak tourist season, hotels closer to the beach are more expensive. Generally, tourists who come to Rizhao prefer to stay in Yujiale, which is close to the beach and tourist attractions and has outstanding folk customs.
Finally, let me talk about the precautions when traveling in Rizhao. You must pay attention to safety when swimming and swim in regular bathing places. People who cannot swim must use life-saving equipment, such as swimming rings, life jackets, etc.
There is a tourist souvenir wholesale market in Rizhao, which mainly sells pearl jewelry, fish bone jewelry, coral and shellfish trinkets. Among them, corals and pearls are more expensive. These items may be real or fake, so you should pay attention when purchasing. True corals are generally not very uniform in color. If you look closely at the cross section, there are growth lines similar to annual rings. Fake ones have a single color and are usually imitations of marble or organic plastic. Pearl jewelry prices vary, and it is also the most fake jewelry. There are two traditional ways to identify genuine and fake pearls when purchasing them. 1. Teeth bite - real pearls sound brittle, but there will be no dents, indentations, or surface peeling. A fake bite will definitely leave marks, or even damage the surface. 2. Use a sharp tool to scrape it, scrape off the powder and touch the scratches. The pearls that can be restored are fake pearls that cannot be restored. The prices of these things vary greatly, and whether you can buy good ones at a low price depends on your luck.
The specialties of Rizhao are mainly tea and dried seafood. Among them, Rizhao green tea is known as the best tea in Jiangbei. Friends who are interested in tea can bring some. Be careful when shopping at the beach. Don’t ask for things you don’t plan to buy, let alone bargain. For example, barbecue, etc., if you put the skewers on the stove or in the pot as soon as you say something, you have to get money. Have a sense of self-protection, and please ignore strangers' chats at train stations, bus stations and scenic spots. You think, these people don’t know you either, so there must be a purpose for striking up conversations for no reason. Many tourists misunderstood these people's words and suffered losses, which affected their mood.
I recommend Taohua Island and Lunan National Forest Park. There is the best golden beach in Shandong Province. The sand is fine and the waves are wide. You can pick up shells and crabs, especially the small crabs. Rizhao Renjiatai The beach, and the Wanpingkou bathing beach... All three of the four major bathing beaches are great. You can also see the rocks at the lighthouse scenic spot, and there is also the competition base for the 2006 World Sailing Championships... .... Both the lighthouse and Wanpingkou scenic spots are open to tourists free of charge. Just walk on Haiqu Road, the main road in Donggang District, Rizhao, and go straight east.
Also, you You can take bus No. 15 and get off at Jiangshuaigou Station. There is a nice Bamboo Cave Scenic Area, a thousand-acre bamboo garden, which is quite a summer escape.
Of course, Rizhao tourism has developed too fast in the past two years. If you go in season, there will be more people, but it doesn’t matter. If you go with a group, you will still have more fun. It is best to stay in a fisherman’s house to enjoy the fun, it is cheap and close to the sea. The hotel is too expensive, so it is best to go to a double-standard room at this time. The cheapest one is 198 yuan/room. If you must stay, you can go near People’s Square. The quality of the rooms there is higher. Also, the Rizhao area is more humid and very humid. Clothes on the beach usually cannot be dried in two days. You can Be mentally prepared! !
