Must-See Attractions
1. Wanpingkou Scenic Area: A landmark of Rizhao, this area boasts stunning 5 kilometers of golden sand and azure waters, along with marine recreational activities. Gate 3 is highly recommended; the popular "swing" and "ladder to heaven" are fantastic for photo opportunities. Mornings are less crowded, so the photo yield is exceptional!
2. Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park: A perfect blend of forest and sea, with fine sandy beaches. Rent a bike for a relaxing ride, or take a ride on the Ferris wheel for breathtaking views. Bring a picnic mat and relax—perfect for families.
3. Lighthouse Scenic Area: A spectacular reef area, perfect for watching the sunrise. You can also catch some seafood at low tide. Remember to check the sunrise time and arrive half an hour early, as the seaside winds can be strong.
4. Dongyi Town: This town, reminiscent of an ancient fishing village, offers a wide variety of local snacks. Be sure to try the sea sand noodles and Spanish mackerel fried buns. There are also many cultural and creative shops, and the night view is incredibly beautiful, making it best to visit in the evening.
5. Ocean Aesthetics Museum: This popular seaside bookstore, cafe, and infinity pool are brimming with artistic flair. Enjoy a cup of coffee and a book overlooking the ocean—it's a truly relaxing experience, and it's also a great place for photos.
6. Sunshine Coast Dream Coast: With its "I❤Rizhao" check-in wall, rainbow running track, and seaside camping area, this is a popular spot for young people to take photos and check in, and it's also a great spot for couples and groups of friends.
7. Sea-hunting Experience: Clams and small crabs can be found at Taigong Island Oyster Park; starfish and conchs can be found at Lijiatai/Renjiatai Reef Park. Check the tide table on the WeChat mini-program in advance and visit 1-2 hours before low tide. Remember to bring a bucket, shovel, and gloves.
Zui Jiang Hu (Dongze Garden Branch) – A Seafood Feast
This restaurant was highly recommended to me by a local friend. I was completely captivated after just one visit!
📍Address: Along Dongze Garden Street, at the intersection of Dalian Road and Linyi Road, Rizhao City
🌟Environment: The decor has a distinct Jianghu vibe, creating a vibrant atmosphere and perfect for photos. The waiters are also very friendly and will even help peel shrimp.
🍱Dishes:
•Signature One Pot Fresh: A must-try! The shrimp, crab, and shellfish are stewed to perfection. Every bite is filled with the flavor of the ocean, so fresh it's almost eyebrow-dropping.
•Sea Urchin Tofu: The tofu is incredibly smooth and tender, and the umami flavor of the sea urchin blends seamlessly into the tofu, creating a rich, delicious flavor that goes perfectly with rice.
•Shrimp Pot Stickers: The skin is thin and the filling is generous. The juicy, fresh shrimp oozes out when you bite into it, and a few are incredibly satisfying.
• Baked Lobster: The lobster meat is chewy and firm, and the baking method allows the shrimp to retain its original flavor and add a layer of charred aroma—superb.
• Sea Cucumber Rice: The rice is coated in the delicious broth of the sea cucumber, making every bite incredibly satisfying. The carb-fueled delight is simply unbeatable.
Transportation Guide
• Transportation: You can fly to Shanzihe Airport and take the airport shuttle or taxi to the city center. Get off the high-speed rail at Rizhao West Station, and take buses K1 or K2 directly to the city center. If you drive, the coastal highway is incredibly scenic, and parking is convenient at tourist attractions, though there is a fee.
• City Transportation: Buses have extensive routes and fares are 1 yuan. Taxis and ride-hailing services have a low starting price, and taxis between city attractions cost around 10-20 yuan. Shared bikes are also very convenient, and there are cycling paths along the beach, perfect for short trips.
Practical Tips
1. UV rays are extremely strong at the beach, so be sure to bring high-factor sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, otherwise you'll instantly become a "blackhead."
2. The temperature difference between day and night is significant at the beach, so bring a light jacket even in the summer.
3. Wear non-slip shoes when going to the beach, always monitor the tides, and avoid unfamiliar or dangerous areas.
4. Children with sensitive stomachs should be careful not to overeat seafood, and avoid eating it raw. Pairing it with ginger vinegar can help kill bacteria.
5. Accommodation is tight and expensive during peak season (July-August and holidays), so be sure to book in advance.
6. When ordering seafood, ask for the price and weight; beware of "explosive price" scams.
Rizhao is truly a romantic and relaxing city. Come enjoy the sea breeze, try the seafood, and have a wonderful time! If you have any questions, please leave a comment in the comments section~

Just got back from Rizhao with my partner, and we hit a ton of roadblocks! 💥 If you're planning to visit in July or August, be sure to plan carefully before you go!! Otherwise, you'll end up looking like a street emo... Let me tell you a few tearful stories. I rushed in without a plan. The result: the seafood restaurant the driver recommended was a huge rip-off, I was unprepared for the sun at the beach, and I got ripped off buying local specialties at the scenic area... It was fun, but the roadblocks really dampened my mood! I've put together this [Avoiding Roadblocks + Recommendations] guide to help you avoid those roadblocks! 🔥 Must-see Attractions (Proven to Avoid) 1. Wanpingkou Seaside Scenic Area Free! A top-rated spot in Rizhao. 🌊 The sunrise at Gate 1 is absolutely stunning, and the "LOVE Sculpture" and "Coconut Grove" at Gate 3 are beyond stunning. Strolling along the beach and enjoying the waves are both relaxing! ⚠️ Don't buy snacks in the scenic area! They're expensive and average. Take photos and eat in the city afterward! 2. World Sailing Base Free! Take a sailboat out to sea ⛵ and experience sea fishing, soak up the ocean breeze, and feel the "speed and passion" of the ocean. We recommend going on a sunny day for a more vibrant blue and stunning photos! 3. Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park Free! Enjoy the dual romance of seaside and forest 🌳 The beach is uncrowded, the sand is fine, and you can even visit the forest oxygen bar—perfect for escaping the heat and taking photos! Go after 4 PM to avoid the scorching sun~ 🍤 Must-Try Foods (Locals' Secrets) • Rizhao Impressions Over 70 RMB per person 💰 A seafood restaurant featured on CCTV-15! Freshly caught ingredients are served daily, and the seafood and Spanish mackerel dumplings are must-try 🥟 A great spot with clean surroundings and a local hangout. • University Town Night Market Eat your fill for 30 RMB per person 🍢 Grilled squid, ice jelly, plum blossom cake... a vibrant atmosphere! You've truly experienced Rizhao after visiting the night market~ ⚡ Pitfalls to Avoid (A Tears of Love) 1. Don't trust driver/guide recommendations: Most of them are "partnership" restaurants, where seafood is expensive and tastes terrible, making it easy to get scammed! 2. July and August are peak season: Book your accommodations in advance! Beachfront B&B prices rise quickly, so choose a city location for better value 🏠 3. Don't skimp on sunscreen: UV rays at the beach are incredibly strong! Pack sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen, or you'll get burned in no time 🌞 4. Don't buy souvenirs in tourist areas: Go to large shopping malls/supermarkets! They have a wide variety of products and low prices. Rizhao green tea and dried seafood are worth buying 🎁 Rizhao is truly beautiful, but a good guide is essential to having a great time! If you're planning a trip in July or August, save this post! Only by avoiding pitfalls and enjoying more can you embrace the sea breeze and romance 🌊 #RizhaoTravel #RizhaoGuide #AvoidingTravelGuide #CoastalCity #SummerTravel #Rizhao #RizhaoFood #RizhaoSeafood #RizhaoAvoidingTravelGuide #Xingye University Town Night Market
