Wanpingkou Ocean Park (Bathhouse) (ticket 60 yuan, online shopping 56 yuan)

“When traveling to Rizhao, you must visit Wanpingkou” has become a common knowledge among tourists from all over the world. Since Wanpingkou was charged, it was because of this "*** consciousness" that the entire Rizhao was criticized by netizens. Many of the very good free beaches in Rizhao have also followed suit, causing many netizens to mistakenly believe that the entire beach in Rizhao has begun to charge fees.

I thought that after charging, the quality of hardware and software would be improved. In fact, many tourists are disappointed and think that the 60 yuan ticket is not worth taking a sea bath. Supporting services have not kept up with the charging items.

Rizhao Botanical Garden is very close to the World Sailing Regatta base. It is a cultural and leisure park that Rizhao focuses on and is also one of the free attractions.

Free Beach

Wujiatai Beach Bathing Beach (Fourth Bathing Beach) (Free)

Wujiatai Beach Bathing Beach and Rizhao National Forest Park Bathing Beach are actually the same bathing beach. After a fence was built in the Forest Park, the two bathing beaches were artificially separated.

Wujiatai Beach Bathing Beach

Wujiatai Beach is the same as the beach in the Forest Park, with fine sand. The terrain is flat and the tide can recede more than 300 meters, making it an excellent natural bathing spot. Moreover, there is a reef area to the south of the beach, where you can collect shells from the sea. So here you can swim and play in the water, and you can also catch shells from the sea, killing two birds with one stone. There are also many recreational activities around, including various beach and water entertainment projects, as well as fishing and other folk projects.

The sand is fine and fine

There are also Yujiale folk tourist accommodation nearby, and the prices are relatively affordable. The price is about 80 yuan in the off-season and about 200 yuan in the peak season. Many friends hope that I can recommend some good local fishermen to avoid being ripped off when traveling to Rizhao. Here I would like to recommend a local and honest fisherman in Wujiatai. The boss is quite down-to-earth, and the fisherman's house is also very close to Wujiatai Beach. It's mainly convenient because it has food and accommodation all in one, so you don't have to worry about being ripped off.

The Third Bathing Beach (Free)

It is a free bathing beach with bathrooms in the sea near Wangjiazao. The surrounding facilities are relatively complete, with hotels Mainly for short-term rentals, it is a popular bathhouse. The beach of the third bathing beach is relatively fine and flat, and the sea water quality is also good. It is close to the urban area and is crowded with people during the peak tourist season.

The sand quality is also relatively fine

A few good places to catch the sea for free

They are Zhangjiatai, Lijiatai, Renjiatai and Wujiatai. Going to the sea, as the name suggests, is a very interesting tourist activity. You wait until the tide is low and go to the sea to look for fish, shrimps, crabs, starfish, shells, etc. that have fallen under the tide. These places are free and are good places to catch the sea. When going to the sea, pay attention to the sunshine and tide table. Go there when the tide is half low and follow the tide. You will pick up a lot of things. It's time to exit once the tide starts to rise.

How to choose attractions and itinerary in 2019 tide table

The total coastline of Rizhao is 16 kilometers. The seaside attractions in Rizhao are evenly distributed on this 16 kilometers of coastline. Therefore, the coastal attractions in Rizhao are very concentrated, and tourists can freely choose and visit places according to their own itinerary.

In general, a trip to Rizhao is indispensable for the following itineraries:

(1) The bathing beach is a must, because the beaches in Rizhao are really rare in China;

< p>(2) If you want to catch the sea, you can choose Wujiatai Reef Area;

(3) You can freely mix and match some other scenic spots;

(4) Find a local fisherman to eat seafood. It is the most economical and affordable. The seafood in Rizhao is cheap and a lot of it is wild. It’s best to ignore roadside food stalls and roadside fishermen soliciting customers. You’ll know why by reading the reviews.

Tips on how to prevent slaughter when eating seafood in Rizhao

(1) Don’t think it will be cheaper if you go to the pier or seafood market to buy seafood. Seafood markets and piers mainly rely on outsiders to make money. There is no need for word of mouth, there are many ways to rip off customers. It's not symmetrical enough, the live parts are replaced with dead ones, the top part is live and the bottom part is all dead, low-quality ones are passed off as high-quality ones, and there are even various methods such as soaking them in potions to keep them alive.

(2) Refuse to solicit customers. Those who solicit customers are very good at saying that the first few cheap dishes will attract customers. In fact, they are unpalatable and expensive. The chance of being ripped off is very high. Good restaurants do not need to solicit customers. of.

(3) Don’t trust taxi recommendations easily. They basically have fixed points to draw commissions from (including Didi drivers).
