No travel guide for Rizhao = a wasted trip (3 days, 2 nights) Just got back from Rizhao! I've organized my 3-day photo itinerary, nailed every spot, and copied them straight away~ 😉 I've also figured out my favorite restaurants, so the kids can grab them and go~ Day 1 Wanpingkou Scenic Area (Gate 2) 🏖️ "Coffee and the Sea" as your backdrop, every photo has a seaside feel, and the beach scenery is incredibly natural~ Sunshine Coast Scenic Area 💖: A giant LOVE sign and coconut trees create a Sanya-style experience, and the morning light makes portraits look brighter. ~ Lighthouse Square 🌉: A pink-orange sunset against a white lighthouse. The heart-shaped pattern on the beach at low tide is a must-photo! Day 2 Lijiatai Seafood Park 🦀: Digging for clams and crabs, using a small bucket as a prop creates a lively atmosphere. Renjiatai Reef Park 🪨: Exploring the reefs for starfish, and capturing the fishing village atmosphere as the boats return to port. Rizhao Ocean Park 🐋: Beluga whale viewing area and the skywalk for photos of the fish swarming around you. Day 3 Wulianshan Scenic Area 🗻: Take bird's-eye views of the green mountains from the top of the mountain, and capture the tranquility next to the Buddha statue. Daqingshan Wind Scenic spot 🟢 Cycling along the stream, capturing witty moments when encountering squirrels~ Red Kiln 1977🏭 Red bricks and greenery capture a retro vibe, and the evening sunset captures the light and shadows in stunning detail~ Foodie I could eat two plates of the seafood dumplings at [Chocolate Fisherman]. The sea urchin dumplings are naturally sweet, and the shrimp dumplings are full of whole shrimp. [Nanxiaozhuang Arashiyama Sweet and Sour Fish with Wood-fired Tofu] The sweet and sour fish at Nanxiaozhuang is served boiling in a clay pot, with a rich barbecue flavor, and the wood-fired tofu is as tender as pudding. [Bear Cake] [Shop] The creamy, fufu-like mini cakes are both beautiful and delicious, and the fill light is super girly. [iMeng]'s vanilla ice cream has a moist Basque filling, and the plum and lychee ice cream is incredibly sour and refreshing. I recommend booking this popular spot in advance. After three days of leisurely strolling, I got to see every ocean and eat every delicious food I wanted. If you're going to Rizhao, this itinerary is a must-try. If you have any questions, like which spots are best for sunrise photography, feel free to ask me! 😘 #RizhaoTravelGuide

I particularly like the stir-fried squid, fried shrimp, and steamboat. Their seafood is all live, so the flavor is naturally fresh. Wrong Kuanpozi Seafood Pot Stickers Their signature dish is their name: seafood pot stickers, freshly made in an open kitchen. The crust is crispy, the filling is fresh, and the flavors burst with juice. Pair it with their signature sweet (and salty) sauce. Tu Lao Mao They have charcoal-cooked chicken and fish, which are excellent. They have my favorite savory and savory flavor, and the flavor gets better with each simmer. Located in a university town, the portions are generous; two people couldn't finish them all. They also come with fresh side dishes, which are also delicious. Black Bear Canteen The shop is small, but it feels quite cozy this autumn 🍃. Their spicy creamy rat is a must-try. The rich, milky, and sticky rice is a real favorite. They also have potato wedges and pineapple buns, and many photo-loving university students eat here. #RizhaoTravelGuide #RizhaoGuide #RizhaoSeafoodCatching #RizhaoSeafoodDrinks #RizhaoFood & Fun
