Rizhao Must-Visit Lighthouse Sunrise

When you come to Rizhao, you must go to the Lighthouse Scenic Area to watch the sunrise! After seeing it, it instantly became one of the top 3 most romantic scenes of my life 🌅

Last winter, I made a special trip to see the lighthouse sunrise and here’s my real experience:
1. The best time to watch is about 40 minutes before sunrise. When we arrived at 5:30, the sky was already starting to turn red, making photos look especially dreamy!
2. The actual sunrise time matched the phone forecast exactly. At 6:13, the sun appeared right on time, and the whole process lasted about 20 minutes.
3. Be sure to wear plenty of clothes! It’s windy by the sea, so a down jacket, scarf, and hat are essential. I wore too little and caught a cold the next day 😷
