I want to travel in the middle of July. I don't know whether Qingdao is better or the sunshine is better.

First of all, the beach

There are two styles: sunny beach and Qingdao beach. The sunny beach has coarse particles and a strong tendency to enter the water. Triple waves are a bit difficult for foreign tourists who want to take a sea bath, but one thing is that the sunny beach is called Long Beach, which is as long as the coastline.

The beaches in Qingdao are all section by section. The best beaches in Qingdao are in Huangdao and Jiaonan (now merged into Huangdao District). The beaches in Jiaonan are very open and flat, with relatively few people. Huangdao has the famous Golden Beach and Silver Beach. The golden beach is crescent-shaped, and the sand is fine and flat. Going deep into the sea after low tide is relatively safe from the perspective of seawater bathing.

Second, seafood.

The seafood in Rizhao tastes more delicious and the environment may be more natural. Take the most commonly eaten clam as an example. Authentic Rizhao clam noodle soup is white and delicious. Although there is red island clam Festival in Qingdao, Qingdao clams are salty and the meat quality is not as good as Rizhao clams.

Third, culture.

In addition to sightseeing and enjoyment, I think the most important gain is to appreciate different regional cultures and customs and wash my mind through the transformation of space. Rizhao is a small city with simple folk customs (of course, it is almost the same to travel around the country in the tourist area), and almost all the interesting places are in the seaside tourist area, with a single theme; Qingdao is a sub-provincial city and one of the five cities under separate state planning in China. Besides the seascape, there are many places to experience, such as the old German buildings in Badaguan, the large modern urban buildings in the east, the Olympic Sailing Base, marine life (underwater world, polar ocean world) and Tsingtao beer culture.

Fourth, the route

If you have enough time, I suggest you go to Rizhao and Qingdao to experience it.

If you are from Zhenjiang, go south along the seaside, from the Shanhaitian tourist area in Rizhao and Dashawa National Forest Park to the newly-built Beihai Road by the seaside, turn to National Highway 204, continue to the north, and then enter Jiaonan (now merged into Huangdao District);

Go ahead for a while, turn to Binhai Avenue in Qingdao (dongjiakou Port shares a right turn) and go straight. Pass by Langyatai Scenic Area without going through dongjiakou Port (if you have time and like history, you can turn around and have a look);

Continue along the highway, drive past Dazhu Mountain (because it is a coastal highway, it will turn several turns), and then you can go to Jiaonan seaside. In Shuicheng area (the car passes through a large area on the right side of Fengheqiao Road in Jiaonan, Binhai Avenue), you can find an intersection to turn in and stop at the seaside.

Continue along Binhai Avenue. During your visit to Huangdao and Qingdao, you can consider living in Huangdao (it is more affordable to eat and live, and the environment is better, so it is more convenient to enter Qingdao by tunnel bus or car), playing in Golden Beach (there are many people in the west, and you can dig clams and crabs in the beach in front of Beijing Film Academy in the east) and Silver Beach (Silver Beach has now become a high-end resort, next to Kempinski Hotel). If you like to catch the sea, you can go to Shique Hotel. Overlooking Lingshan Island (the third highest island in Asia, with plenty of time, you can consider boarding the island by boat from Jimiya Port in Huangdao, usually staying on the island for one night), and Qingdao Forest Wildlife Park is also in Huangdao;

If you want to experience the world's second cross-sea bridge, you can drive to Qingdao and return to Qingdao from the cross-sea tunnel (and vice versa). You can consider Underwater World (or Polar Ocean World), Olympic Sailing Base, Beer City (in fact, Beer Museum is a good place to drink authentic Tsingtao beer), Badaguan, May 4th Square and so on. Shopping depends on your preference. Taitung Business Circle and Zhongshan Road are relatively grounded.

When you have time, you can consider climbing Laoshan Mountain and seeing the aircraft carrier Liaoning (study it yourself by luck, haha).

Besides, if you travel on the road, I suggest you do some homework in advance. I prefer the "hive" strategy. You can download the raiders of Rizhao and Qingdao.

All the above are my personal opinions, typing word for word, I hope it will help you.
