Golden beaches, endless sea, waves crashing on the rocks, seagulls flying freely. Last weekend, in Rizhao, Shandong, I saw my dream sea✌️ Two days and one night, eating seafood🦞, picking oysters🦪, enjoying beautiful scenery, living inside a Studio Ghibli comic. Visiting Rizhao in the off-season was totally worth it. Just back from Rizhao, here’s a 2-day travel guide for you. 1️⃣ Transportation: 🚄 High-speed train direct, Nanjing to Rizhao West Station takes 3.5 hours. After exiting the station, take a taxi🚖 about 30 minutes to the destination. 2️⃣ Recommended itinerary day❶ Kaiyuan Senbo → Ruyi Bridge → Wanpingkou Gate 3 day❷ Sailing Regatta Base → Lighthouse → Forest Park Gate 1 → Peach Blossom Island → Daqianggou Fishing Port → Sunshine Coast 3️⃣ Recommended check-in spots ❶ Kaiyuan Senbo: You can watch the sunrise🌅 facing the sea right from the balcony!

Between the blue sea and sky of Rizhao lies a dreamlike place—the Rizhao Ocean Aesthetic Museum. It perfectly blends the grandeur of the ocean with refined aesthetics, making it a seaside resort that visitors never want to leave. Introduction to the Ocean Aesthetic Museum The Rizhao Ocean Aesthetic Museum is located at 168 Bihai Road, Donggang District, Rizhao. It is a comprehensive resort area integrating a hotel, restaurant, water bar, library, and swimming pool. This site was once an old nursery, and after careful renovation, it has gained a unique charm. The architectural style of the museum is distinctive and full of modern artistic atmosphere. Its iconic buildings are the seaside bookstore and the waterside café, connected together with oversized floor-to-ceiling windows. Sitting inside, ordering a cup of coffee and holding a book, you can fully enjoy the unbeatable sea view, as if time stands still at this moment. The Ocean Aesthetic Museum also offers excellent facilities. There is a huge infinity pool that merges with the sea and sky, making you feel like you are in a fairyland. Next to the pool is a long sloped-roof building, mostly hotel guesthouses. Additionally, there are outdoor sports grounds with complete facilities, allowing visitors to enjoy both the beautiful scenery and the fun of exercise. Travel Guide - Transportation: Driving is a convenient option; navigate to "Rizhao Ocean Aesthetic Museum," which has free parking on site. For public transport, take bus 33 or Tour 1 to "Zhangjiatai" station, then walk about 10 minutes; or take bus 36 to "Guanhailanting" station, which is right there. - Opening Hours and Admission: The Ocean Aesthetic Museum is open all day and free to enter, allowing visitors to experience its beauty anytime. - Suggested Itinerary: In the morning, stroll along the beach to feel the fine sand and cool seawater, and during low tide, explore the shore to find small crabs, starfish, and other marine creatures. Then head to the seaside bookstore and café for a peaceful reading and relaxation time. Have lunch at the museum’s restaurant, enjoying seafood and other delicacies. In the afternoon, take photos at the infinity pool or engage in activities at the outdoor sports grounds. At sunset, admire the beautiful view on the beach as the sun dyes the sea golden, creating a romantic atmosphere. - Must-Photograph Spots: The cloud swing is a highly photogenic spot; sitting sideways and flicking your skirt captures dynamic shots, or facing the sea with your head tilted back and eyes closed creates stunning photos. Before 9 a.m., the light is soft and there are fewer people; at 4 p.m., backlighting is perfect for silhouette shots. The Guan Hai Café is also a must-visit, featuring a curved mirrored bookshelf. Standing in the center for symmetrical compositions or sitting by the window pretending to read with the sea view outside adds a strong artistic vibe. The infinity pool is another great photo spot; wearing bright swimwear and shooting from above captures the "pool + sea" stitched perspective, full of Instagram style. - Food Recommendations: At the outdoor café, try the unique creative dessert—Sea Sand Ice Cream. It uses locally sourced sea sand boiled into a savory broth, mixed with vanilla ice cream and popping candy. The first bite offers a strange icy-hot sensation, and upon savoring, the ocean’s depth and creamy texture blend on the tongue, providing a unique taste experience. The museum’s restaurant also serves various fresh seafood dishes like crab and mantis shrimp, delicious and fresh. - Accommodation Options: The hotel inside the Ocean Aesthetic Museum is a great choice, such as the Antai Ocean Aesthetic Hotel. It boasts a prime seaside location, offering special rooms like the Lisha Sea View Single Room and Qihai Single Room, with windows opening to the tides and a private courtyard design for added privacy. The hotel also provides tide schedules, sea-hunting tool rentals, and a popular "Ocean-themed Family Package." - Practical Tips: The seaside can be windy, so bring a light jacket. Accommodation prices inside the museum are relatively high; if on a budget, consider visiting without staying overnight. There are no convenience stores nearby, so it’s best to bring your own water and snacks. For outfits, light-colored dresses or bright clothes are recommended for better photos. The Rizhao Ocean Aesthetic Museum is like a dazzling jewel embedded in the Rizhao coastline, attracting many visitors with its unique charm. Here, you can escape the city’s hustle and fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty brought by the ocean and aesthetics. Whether traveling with family, as a couple, or alone, you will find your own joy and memories here. Come to the Rizhao Ocean Aesthetic Museum and start an unforgettable seaside aesthetic journey.

🌊 Blind Booking·Top-Rated Choices 1. The St. Regis Qingdao Skyline Dominator: 58th-floor panoramic views of Fushan Bay, infinity pool + sky gym, landmark experience. Fatal Flaw: Severely lacking service! Unstable hot water, ineffective butler service; dirty windows obstruct views; breakfast queues with limited options. Smart Pick: Better value in low season, must for view seekers, avoid if service is a priority. 2. Qingdao Haitian Hotel Prime Location: Walk to Badaguan/Third Beach, convenient city-center access. Warning: Hygiene issues (found nail clippings), sewer odors, questionable bathtub water; breakfast mocked as "street market level." Avoid: Noisy square-dancing floors; confirm sea view; severe peak-season price hikes. 👨‍👩‍👧 Family-Friendly Top Picks 3. Qingdao Seaview Garden Hotel Kid’s Paradise: Private beach! Indoor heated pool + kids’ shallow pool + basement playground, 5-minute walk to the shore. Note: Older but clean facilities; shuttle needed for metro; outdoor pool only in summer. Tip: Perfect for families, skip if modern design is a must. 4. Hyatt Regency Qingdao Shilaoren Beach Access: Direct path to Shilaoren Beach, offers sand buckets + tent packages, sunrise views from terrace. Downsides: Slightly outdated; slow breakfast replenishment; rapid peak-season price surges. Tip: Book early for fixed rates, pair with Polar Ocean World visit. 📸 Instagram-Worthy Picks 5. MGM Qingdao Photo Ops: 31st-floor infinity pool + Dyson/BOSE amenities, unlimited lobster breakfast! Issues: Confirm sea-view rooms; poor AC heating; peak breakfast queues. Location: Laoshan Financial District hub, Metro Line 2 to downtown, 15-minute walk to Shilaoren Beach. 6. The Lalu Qingdao Design Icon: Surrounded by sea on three sides, 100㎡ suites with huge balconies, 180° ocean lullabies. Dealbreakers: Algae-ruined views! Overpriced, bad food; rusty, outdated facilities; slow service. Niche Pick: Ideal for solitude-seeking design lovers, zero convenience. 📍 Budget-Friendly Gems 7. Hilton Qingdao Golden Beach Beach Privilege: European castle style, direct access to Golden Beach! Pet-friendly + heated pool + kids’ zone. Drawback: Far from downtown (requires paid undersea tunnel); dated decor. Best For: Huangdao explorers/pet owners, escape city noise. 8. Orange Crystal (May Fourth Square) Location King: May Fourth Square/Olympic Sailing Center hub, spacious sea-view rooms, smart toilet + pour-over coffee. Flaws: Poor soundproofing! Street noise; some rooms smell. Tip: Opt for high-floor sea views, try seafood breakfast; prioritize this branch. ⚠️ Controversial·Choose Carefully Zhanqiao Seaview Mercure Hotel: Near Zhanqiao Pier but mediocre views, outdated, overpriced in peak season. 📌 Golden Rules 1. Sea-View Lovers → St. Regis (panoramic), MGM (infinity pool), The Lalu (design) 2. Families → Seaview Garden (private beach), Hyatt (beach access), Hilton (kids’ facilities) 3. Convenience Seekers → Haitian (Badaguan area), Orange Crystal (May Fourth Square core) 4. Avoid: St. Regis/The Lalu: Terrible service! Haitian/Hyatt: Watch hygiene! Peak Season: Book 3 months ahead, confirm sea views! > Qingdao’s Accommodation Essence: Sea views are priceless, service makes or breaks! Off-season = better experience; lower expectations in peak season~

🌟Sheraton Hotel Rizhao 🏖️Great Location I just got back from the Sheraton Hotel Rizhao, and this place really wowed me! The hotel is right by the sea, very close to Wanpingkou Beach in Rizhao, and it's just a few minutes' walk to the beach. There are also many attractions nearby, such as Dongyi Town, which has many special snacks and trinkets, making it a lot of fun to wander around. There is also Lighthouse Square, where the lights come on at night, making it a beautiful place to take pictures! Staying here, you can wake up to the sound of the waves every day, which is so pleasant. 🛌Comprehensive Health and Fitness Facilities I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's health and fitness facilities. The gym is fully equipped with treadmills, elliptical machines, and all kinds of strength training equipment, all of which are brand new. I work out there every morning and feel much more energized. What I like most is the swimming pool, where the water temperature is just right, and there are lounge chairs by the pool where you can relax while sunbathing. The hotel also offers yoga classes, and I took one, the teacher taught very carefully, and the atmosphere was very good. 🛒Great Stay Experience When I checked in, the front desk staff was very welcoming, quickly helped me with the procedures, and gave me a small gift, a bottle of local specialty wine, which felt very thoughtful. The room was also very spacious, and the bed was very soft, and I slept very soundly. The room had a large window, and when I opened the curtains, I could see the sea. Every time I woke up, I could see the beautiful sea view, which made me feel better. The hotel's breakfast was also very rich, with a variety of Chinese and Western dishes, and I ate my fill every day. 🌟Heartwarming Little Details There are also some small details here that touched me. One time I came back late, and the front desk staff waited for me and told me to be careful on the road. The hotel's cleaning lady was also very conscientious and cleaned the room every day. Another time I forgot to bring my swimsuit, and the hotel's store lent me one, which was really thoughtful. 📝Other Tips If you are also planning to go to the Sheraton Hotel Rizhao, I have a few suggestions for you. First, book your room in advance, especially on weekends, when it will be more crowded. Second, you can try the hotel's seafood buffet dinner, the ingredients are very fresh and the price is very reasonable. Third, when you go to the beach, remember to wear sunscreen, the ultraviolet rays on the beach are very strong. Also, there are many delicious restaurants around the hotel, don't miss them. In short, the Sheraton Hotel Rizhao is really a great choice, and I will definitely go again next time!

"Ten miles of wheel hooves are constantly, how many pink flowers are colorless", a small grass is so beautiful, right? The texture of is also soft, the legs are not touched at all, one can not see the color, and even into a pink cloud. October is the flowering period of pink grass, and go see them in the fall!

The Wusanyi Arsenal is located in Wangwu Mountain, the hometown of Yugong Yishan. It was built in the 1970s and is mainly responsible for the production of military weapons. It is a typical representative of many three lines. Nowadays, the rumbling machine's rotating sound is no longer screaming, instead it is a new look for the new look - "the years town" is full of vitality. With the reform of the national system, the May 3rd arsenal has gradually moved out, and the workers returned to the city. Only a large, empty workshop indicates the prosperity of the past. Later, people used these idle arsenals to create the current "small towns" and built the "Arsenal Hotel" on the basis of this, to find the youthful youth. The May 13th factory, which has faded from the prosperity scene, not only took away the hustle and bustle of the people, but also took away the hope lights in the depths of the Taihang Mountains. Fortunately, today, decades later, the abandoned factories were used. The Jedi is born again, and writes a praise song for the development of a new era.

Rizhao boasts a charming coastline and abundant marine resources. Tide pooling is a distinctive local tourist activity, with the best time to experience it from April to September. Tide pooling is full of highlights. Visitors can explore barefoot on the beach according to the ebb tide, collecting various seafood such as fish, shells, shrimp, and crabs. On the vast tidal flats, you can also use iron rakes to dig for clams like the mosquito clam and mirror clam. Experienced fishermen can rake about 2 kilograms per hour, making the harvest very rewarding. By participating in tide pooling, visitors can deeply experience the lifestyle of fishermen, personally feel their hard work, and gain a profound understanding of marine culture. This unique and educational experience is full of surprises. During the search for seafood, you can also relax and enjoy the romance and tranquility brought by the sea. If you crave a unique trip, why not come to Rizhao to join the tide pooling activity? Leave your footprints on the fine sandy beach, gather a bounty of seafood, and create unforgettable beautiful memories!
