If you want to visit Rizhao, many friends will recommend Wanpingkou. It is located in Rizhao, which is close to the sea.

Moreover, this kind of fee has existed in Wanpingkou for three years!

Is the charge reasonable?

Wanpingkou Scenic Area is located in Rizhao, a beautiful coastal city in Shandong Province. Wanpingkou Scenic Area is an emerging tourist attraction on the golden coastline of Rizhao City. The scenic coastline is 5,000 meters long. It covers an area of ??7.6 million square meters, with an average annual temperature of 12.6 degrees Celsius. There is no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. "When traveling to Rizhao, you must visit Wanpingkou" has become a common knowledge among tourists from all over the world.

But since I’ve come here, I still choose to take a look. Tickets purchased online cost 45 yuan per person. If you stay in a nearby hotel, you can enter and exit freely. If compared with the ticket prices of domestic scenic spots, which can easily reach hundreds, it is indeed not expensive. But compared with the countless free beaches in China, it’s a bit unpleasant.

Compared with the lighthouse scenic area I visited yesterday, this place is indeed much larger. The beach chairs, foot-washing nozzles and special indoor changing shower rooms in the scenic area are all free. The small trains that run through several major attractions are also free and unlimited, and some water sports such as the circus and gliders are free. Additional charges will apply.

At first glance, it seems to be quite affordable. If it were at other beaches, the price would be about the same. One problem, however, is that not everyone needs such a service. Just like me, small trains are of little use to me. I prefer to walk around the beach and watch. The free beach chairs are pretty good, but you can’t find any available in crowded places.

After entering from Gate 1, the first thing you come to is Wanpingkou Central Square. The beach nearby is the most crowded and lively place in the entire scenic area. Walking north, you will see a large theme sand sculpture exhibition, and there are some anime characters that I can't name. It should be a place that children will like very much.

If you continue walking some distance north, you will see a stone with the words "Eternal Oath" written on it, which makes people wonder whether it has always existed. Next is another place with a lot of traffic in the scenic area - the Wedding Park. As you can tell from the name, it is very suitable for taking wedding photos, and it is also a place where many tourists like to pose for photos. It has to be said that there are more places in the scenic area suitable for selfies with concave shapes.

Wanpingkouli offers free storage, free warm water washing, free beach chairs, free sightseeing trains, and there are sand sculptures that can be viewed in the scenic area.

For those who want to spend money, the cost of the ticket is indeed not there. For those who simply want to take a walk on the beach and enjoy the sea breeze, even if it exists, but there is no intention to spend, charging The tickets are somewhat unpleasant.
