Dongyi Town in Rizhao has been open for six or seven years. I have been there several times. This time I feel that it is getting more and more beautiful and prosperous.
The town is densely covered with waterways and consists of several islands, which are connected by bridges. It has a rare water town style in northern cities.
From the layout point of view, there are three main streets: South, Middle and North. The south is the homestay cultural and creative area, which is more beautiful during the day. It is fashionable and petty, and wedding photography often takes place here.
In the middle is the commercial street, which is mainly restaurants, snacks, handicrafts, etc. It is said to have more than 600 kinds of special food, one family and one product, and there is almost no repetition. I have to admire the good intentions of the management.
North Street is a leisure and entertainment area such as bars, grills, cafes, beer houses, teahouses, etc., and the atmosphere is not too noisy.
The town was built on an original ancient village. Although many new buildings have been built, the seaweed house, Dragon King Temple, Kuixing Tower, stage, academy, etc., still maintain the original layout.
The night view at night is completely different from that during the day. The previous few times I came here, I stayed at the seaside and it was indeed quieter at night. This time I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Dongyi Town and felt the different charm of Rizhao.
