Rizhao, an underestimated coastal gem,
holds romance and grandeur beyond imagination.
The sea here boasts the vastness of Qingdao,
yet enjoys a tranquility unmatched by Yantai or Weihai,
leaving me with endless nostalgia after my visit!
🌊【Must-Visit Photo Spots】
1️⃣ Songhai Bridge: A uniquely shaped, futuristic bridge with dreamy purple pavement. Viewed from the side, it's equally stunning... like an aerial corridor leading to an alien spaceship, every snapshot looks cinematic.
2️⃣ Taohua Island: It's not that Jeju Island isn't worth it🏖, but this place offers better value! White buildings contrast beautifully with the blue sky and sea, making it super photogenic📸. For those wanting to photograph the red lighthouse, head directly to Xingdao Fantasy Park.
3️⃣ Wanpingkou (Gates 2-3 coastline): Scattered with fun photo spots like swings and thatched huts along the way.
4️⃣ Senbo Treehouse: Hidden in Kaiyuan Senbo Resort, this fairytale hideaway faces the sea, immersing you in a dreamlike world.
This summer, come to Rizhao and fulfill your perfect seaside fantasy!
🍽 Local Foodie Recommendations:
🍱 Aiya Mama Yo Lanshan Tofu Wood-Fired Fish Pot: I'd call this Rizhao's best shed seafood🦀! With a lively local vibe, the place is clean and bright. Their signature wood-fired assorted fish with pot stickers🐟 is bursting with wok hei and slow-cooked freshness. New this summer: barbecue🔥 with upgraded ventilation for a more comfortable dining experience!
📌 Pro tip: Use the code phrase 【Aiya Mama Yo】 for 🆓 unlimited beer🍺!
🍢 Wangwang Barbecue: Authentic grilled flavors with full-on smoky charm. Must-tries: beef skewers and crispy fish with peanuts🥜 - unforgettable flavors I still crave. The beef is incredibly tender, and the fish is perfectly crisp. Other dishes like thick-cut kidney slices are chewy and satisfying. Though the oysters are small, they're fresh and priced reasonably.
🍜 Nianchuan Sea Sand Noodles: Unique coastal-style noodles in fragrant seafood broth. "Fresh," "rich," and "springy" barely do it justice. This chain features outdoor camping decor. One sip of the broth will make you wish they'd open a branch in your hometown (Owner, please consider this!).
