Introduction Sunrise Sightseeing in Rizhao

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
In Rizhao, sunrise is the most moving poem on the coast of the Yellow Sea. When the night has not completely faded, the coastline begins to brew a miracle of light and shadow. Under the dark sky, the sea and the land are sleeping in silence, and only a faint fish belly white appears in the distant sky, quietly heralding the arrival of dawn. As time passes, the light white gradually turns into pink purple, and then smudges into orange red, and the heavy clouds are inlaid with gold edges. Suddenly, a red sun breaks through the clouds and jumps out of the sea. The golden light instantly covers the vast sea area, and the sparkling waves are like thousands of broken gold. The waves surge in the morning light, and the salty and humid sea breeze gently brushes the face. The outlines of the islands and fishing boats in the distance are gradually clear in the morning sun. From the first light to the rosy clouds, the sunrise in Rizhao perfectly blends the majesty of the sea and the softness of the morning sun, bringing a visual feast that hits the soul directly, making people indulge in the magnificence and grandeur of nature.

Rizhao Budget Hotels: Every Frame is a Scenic Stay

Rizhao Budget Hotels: Every Frame is a Scenic Stay

In-depth Experience at the Sheraton Rizhao: A Multifaceted Analysis of a Cost-Effective Choice I recently checked in to the Sheraton Rizhao and had a rich and unique experience. Here's a detailed account of my stay. 💰️Average cost per person: The hotel's prices vary significantly between peak and off-seasons. During the 2024 summer vacation, a standard city-view room cost over 1,000 CNY; in mid-September 2024, a standard ocean-view room was just over 500 CNY; and in February 2025, the cheapest room was available for just over 400 CNY. The off-season offers incredibly high value for your money. 🏘️Room types/layout: The rooms are large and relatively new, and both city-view and ocean-view rooms have large balconies. There are a limited number of suites, including two ambassador suites and two ocean-view suites. I stayed in both ocean-view suites for a day each; room 01 is near the sailing center, and room 71 is near the bridge. The suites are well-designed, spacious, and comfortable. 🛌Amenities/facilities: The refrigerators in standard rooms are empty, while the suites are stocked with items. The suites are equipped with Dyson hair dryers and soft-bristled toothbrushes, which are very comfortable. The rooms are decorated in the new-generation Sheraton style, with a youthful feel, electric curtains, and JBL speakers. In the bathroom, the main toilet is a basic smart toilet (without automatic lid opening). The executive lounge is on the 12th floor and is spacious, with plenty of window seats for enjoying the ocean view, making it ideal for small gatherings with friends. The pool is on the first floor and is operated by a third party. The changing rooms are well-maintained, and the pool is relatively large compared to similar hotels. There weren't many people swimming on the day I checked in. However, the route from the gym reception to the pool is complicated. 🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: The soundproofing is excellent, with minimal outside noise in the rooms, allowing for a peaceful rest. The cleanliness is also good, with both the rooms and public areas kept tidy and spotless. 💗Other tips: 1. The hotel is located near Wanpingkou in the Rizhao tourist area, offering beautiful sunrise views over the sea, but it's a bit of a walk from Wanpingkou Beach. 2. The executive treatment doesn't include a complimentary two-piece ironing service. The welcome fruit used to be a combination of fruit and snacks, but now it's just fruit. 3. Some of the cold dishes in the lounge are leftovers from breakfast. The hot dishes, such as beef rolls, crab sticks, and basa fish fillets, have a strong fishy smell, the soup is too salty, and the small cakes aren't very good. However, the afternoon tea on the second day included chocolate lava cake. The specialty fried dough twists with sauce and pancakes are delicious, and the breakfast includes duck blood vermicelli soup. The fried dough sticks were too dry. 4. There's a very enthusiastic older gentleman in customer support, but apart from the housekeeping staff, other employees weren't very proactive in greeting guests during my stay. 5. The hotel refunds the deposit the day after check-out, not on the same day or at the time of check-out. 6. Breakfast is served in the Feast Western Restaurant on the 1st floor. It offers a wide variety of options, incorporating local Rizhao specialties such as pancakes and tofu, but the bakery selection is limited. Overall, the Sheraton Rizhao is a good choice, especially during the off-season when it offers excellent value. While there's room for improvement in service and some facility details, it still provides a comfortable stay.

Junya Ishigami's new work in China: At the Water Art Museum, huge yet gentle

Junya Ishigami's new work in China: At the Water Art Museum, huge yet gentle

In the development zone of Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China, there is a super cool building that has a super harmonious relationship with the environment! This building is like bringing the environment closer, making the boundary between the building and the environment super blurred, and transforming nature into something super friendly to us humans. This is the best part of this project! The building is a complex facility with exhibition, visitor center, shops and other functions. It is currently exhibiting chocolate and related themed artworks, but the content of the exhibition can be freely changed in the future, isn't it cool? The site of the building is on an artificial lake near the entrance of the development zone. People can pass through this building first and then go to the development zone. Its building area is about 20,000 square meters, extending from one end of the lake to the other, about 1 kilometer long, almost the same length as the diameter of the lake! The building extends lightly on the lake, as if it is quietly extending with the lake. The transparent plane of the lake is introduced into the building. On the unwalkable water surface, it seems to smoothly extend a piece of ground from the water surface, like a new land! The evenly spaced columns establish a new water surface, and this water surface produces a new ground. A new 'outside' is born from the inside of the building! This new nature generated from the inside of the building, like an internal environment infiltrating the external environment, is a large landscape. Imagine the feeling of walking in it: some places are spacious land, with exhibits arranged on it; some places are narrow land, surrounded by a wide water surface; some places have high roofs, which can introduce more light and surrounding scenery; some places have low roofs, the ceiling is reflected on the water surface, and at the same time, the low light seems to crawl in from the water surface and reflect on the ceiling. It's simply wonderful! Everyone must go and see it when you have the chance!

Rizhao, Shandong! A budget-friendly hotel worth a second visit!! It's so nice to stay here!!

Sheraton Rizhao: A great choice for a family beach vacation 1. Excellent location The hotel is in a prime location, near the Wanpingkou Scenic Area on the golden coastline. Just open the window to enjoy the beautiful view of the lighthouse. The hotel is also conveniently located near the scenic area and the beach. 2. Comfortable room experience We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite. The sea view room on the 7th floor has a large balcony with a great view of the lighthouse and the World Sailing Base. The room is about 100 square meters, spacious and comfortable, with a 60+ inch TV in both the bedroom and living room. The amenities are of high quality, and the Dyson hair dryer adds a touch of luxury. 3. Rich dining options Breakfast is satisfying, with delicious omelets, local specialties such as Haishazi noodles and Rizhao pancakes, and a variety of food for babies to meet different tastes. The executive lounge is on the top floor, with a beautiful view and a balcony area. Some people think the lounge is small, but if you open the door on the left, there is a large area and an open-air viewing platform. The quality of afternoon tea and dinner is also good, providing guests with a relaxing time. 4. Complete facilities The hotel has good swimming pool facilities, with pools of different sizes. The small pool is designed for young children, but the water temperature is slightly lower, so children usually prefer to swim in the large pool. The bathroom is equipped with a sauna, providing guests with more leisure options. There is a children's play area on the first floor of the hotel, which is small but provides a place for children to play. Unfortunately, there is a fee. 5. Nearby activities There are a variety of activities near the hotel. It is only about 1 km from the Wanpingkou Scenic Area, where adults and children can enjoy the beach. You can swipe your card to go out and experience water activities such as fishing, sailing, and speedboats, adding excitement and fun to your vacation.

Rizhao | A Niche City, Emphasizing Casual Play

Rizhao | A Niche City, Emphasizing Casual Play

Rizhao, a city suitable for roaming and relaxation. I like the feeling this city gives me, with a very high cost-performance ratio. In the four days of March 2023 in Rizhao, I felt the unique atmosphere of Rizhao, with casual play and casual feelings. 🕐️DAY 1: Morning: Took the high-speed train from Shanghai to Rizhao in the morning Afternoon: Had a dental appointment due to a toothache on the first day Evening: Strolled around Dongyi Town (Accommodation: Atour Hotel near Dongyi Town) 🕐️DAY 2: Morning: Took a taxi to Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park, Lunch near the seafood market. Afternoon: Coffee time Evening: University Town Night Market. 🕐️DAY 3: A day trip to Ju County, focusing on Fulaishan and mutton soup, experienced a very cost-effective bus ride. 🕐️DAY 4: Walked around Shanhaitian Tourist Resort, strolled around Dongyi Town during the day Afternoon: Took the high-speed train back to Shanghai 💗Other tips: Highly recommend a very cost-effective restaurant— Chuan Shang Piao Xiang Seafood (Dongyi Town Branch) Their flavored eggplant is really delicious. The seafood is very cost-effective and extremely fresh. Much better than the restaurants by the sea. There are thousands of Rizhao guides, but I emphasize casualness.

Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area controlled me for a whole day

Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area controlled me for a whole day

Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area controlled me for a whole day. The lighthouse is really impressive. Although it is not very large, it gives me a sense of serene awe, a feeling of being isolated from the world. In a scene where the background color is either blue, gray, or green, its whiteness stands out so clearly that you can only see it at a glance! I didn't even let the driver drive close. When we were still far away, I asked to stop the car and walked over myself. Watching it grow from a tiny dot to right in front of me, this feeling is really wonderful! When there aren't many cars, standing in the middle of the road can produce very Japanese-style photos. Once inside, besides the sea, you can also see large lawns. Don't overlook this grass; this kind of green is very healthy and pleasing to the eyes. Besides being very photogenic, you can also find shade to rest when tired. The lighthouse area is not suitable for catching the sea, nor does it have entertainment projects. It is really prepared for people who simply want to see the sea, feel the sea, enjoy the sea breeze, and enjoy life. Here, don't rush to be a special forces soldier; instead, empty your mind, forget the difficulties at work and the unhappiness in life. At this moment, you are the only one in your world. The lighthouse is one of the few places where you can see both the sunrise and the sunset. Of course, the sunrise is definitely more beautiful! The sunset is just a small one (there are not many places in Rizhao to watch the sunset). The tide is still very obvious at night, so be sure to pay attention to safety. At this time, you should stay away from the reefs.

Highly recommended.

Highly recommended.

Hotel facilities: The room has a small fridge and a washing machine. The kettle and hair dryer are from famous brands, which is reassuring. Hygiene: The room has disposable bath towels and towels. Environment: The hotel is next to MixC, Poly Plaza, and Wanda University Town Night Market. Service: The front desk staff is very enthusiastic and gave us a travel guide. The hotel is in a business district, which is very convenient for eating, drinking, and having fun. The shopping mall and night market are very close, and the transportation is very convenient. It takes about 10 minutes to drive from the hotel to the beach. There is a large park downstairs, and the lake view from the room is comparable to the sea view. You can take a walk in the park at night. The room is very bright, and the bed is very soft, which makes people feel very comfortable. The room is well-equipped, with a small fridge, a bathroom with a separate shower, 24-hour hot water, and free Wi-Fi. The bed sheets and quilt covers are new. The front desk staff is very enthusiastic and responsive. The underground parking lot has no cap on the parking fee, but the staff sent us the location of the capped parking lot. The whole stay was very pleasant, and I will choose this hotel again next time!

Rizhao Stop 5: Wanpingkou Ocean Park

Rizhao Stop 5: Wanpingkou Ocean Park

Visit Wanpingkou Ocean Park, a free attraction along the 61.8 km Sunshine Coast. Here, you can enjoy the sea, sky, pine trees, beaches, reefs, and wetlands. There are many love-themed photo spots along the coast, and visitors love taking photos here. I want to find the stepping stones built to protect the crabs' habitat at the junction of fresh and salt water. I heard that they were made by embedding stones from old houses in coastal fishing villages into the water. There are gaps between the stones, so people walk on the stones and crabs walk in the gaps. If I ever bring my kids here, I will definitely look for this place. If you have time, you can also visit the Sunrise Bar, Day Tea Night Wine, Water Healing, Beach Camping, and other popular attractions.
