Travel guide to Rizhao with children, which places are suitable?

Fun attractions in Rizhao:

(1) Bathing beach-bathing in the sea

There are three formal bathing beaches in Rizhao

No. Sanhai Beach: It is the only free regular bathing beach in Rizhao. It is located in the Wangjiazaoqiaojiadunzi area with convenient transportation and is in the middle of Rizhao's 16-kilometer coastline. The beach here is very flat and the sand is very fine. The sea water is relatively clear when the tide is not high (high tide will mix the sand and make the sea water turbid), but because it is free, there are more people in summer, especially on weekends, and there are people making dumplings. situation occurs.

Wanpingkou Scenic Area: This is a scenic spot group with many surrounding attractions, such as Lighthouse Square, World Sailing Base, Botanical Garden, Dongyi Town, Oceanarium, etc., which are all worth visiting, so it is recommended to take them out Spend a day exploring these places. Among the above-mentioned Wanpingkou scenic spots, Wanpingkou Scenic Area charges a fee. The ticket is currently 60 (I heard that the price will be reduced in 2019). There is a fee for the aquarium, and there is no charge for other scenic spots.

Because Wanpingkou Scenic Area charges a fee, there are not many people and it is relatively quiet.

Rizhao Binhai National Forest Park: Not only does it have beautiful beaches suitable for bathing in the sea, but it also has lush original ecological forests, so it is also worth visiting. Tickets are more expensive 60 per person.

If you don’t have enough time, you can just choose one of these three baths.

(2) Reef area - suitable for catching the sea

It is very good to take children to catch the sea. When the tide is low in the reef area, there will be small fish, shrimps and crabs left in the cracks of the rocks. It is very fun to drive children to the sea with a small bucket and shovel. Of course, it does not necessarily lead to a lot of gains. The key lies in the process of playing.

Places suitable for catching the sea: Zhangjiatai, Renjiatai, Lijiatai, as well as Liujiawan Sea Garden and Wanbao. Personally, I don’t recommend going. The first is because it is too far, and the second is because of the entrance fee. The three places Zhangjiatai, Lijiatai and Renjiatai are free.

If you don’t have enough time, you can just choose one of the three places.

(3) The aquarium and Dongyi Town are also worth visiting

These two scenic spots were built and put into use in 2018

The aquarium is mainly Sea life and mermaid shows, sea lion shows, dolphin shows. It is the third large-scale aquarium in Shandong (the other two are Qingdao Aquarium and Penglai Aquarium). The ticket is 100 plus, but it is worth seeing.

Dongyi Town is a characteristic pedestrian street by the seaside with many snacks. It's not cheap, but the night view is nice and worth playing.

(4) Lighthouse Square and World Sailing Race Base can be completed in half a day.

These two places are next to each other, the night view is very good, and they are close to Wanpingkou Scenic Area, so we stopped by the way.

(5) Fishing at sea is not a must-do activity

If you have enough time, fishing at sea is possible. But it’s not a must-play item. The so-called fishing at sea is actually a very large boat that pulls many tourists to the deep sea area to set a net once or twice and divide the harvested seafood (not much). The whole process is about watching, and you can't experience the fishing process personally, and the time is very short, more than an hour round trip, and the boat ticket is 5.

Eating seafood is also a must-do in Rizhao - how to eat cheap, authentic and non-slaughtered seafood

You must eat seafood when you come to Rizhao, because there are a lot of wild seafood in Rizhao (because the economy is underdeveloped, fishing is still the mainstream way to make money in Rizhao), and seafood farming in Rizhao has not formed a large scale. Therefore, the wild seafood in Rizhao is cheap and delicious.

Of course, when eating seafood, you must choose a restaurant carefully. Many restaurants are specially designed to receive foreign tourists. The situation of rip-offs is the most serious in these restaurants, so you must pay attention.

There is also a type of restaurant that is very strange. It does not charge local guests for dining, and it is somewhat famous in the local area. However, once it is known that you are a foreign guest, the price changes and the method changes. One counts as one. Therefore, it is not just a seafood restaurant that caters to locals, so it will not rip off customers, so be careful.

It is recommended to eat at old restaurants with good reputations and popular restaurants. These restaurants do not discriminate between local and foreign customers, because the popularity and freshness are guaranteed.

Chocolate Fisherman: Rizhao seafood chain brand, famous for only serving live seafood, affordable and delicious.

Shui Furong Hotel: Located on the seaside of Daquangou, surrounded by the sea on three sides, the dining environment and atmosphere are very good, and the seafood is authentic. Suitable for high-end banquets.

If you live in an apartment, you can also go to the seafood market to buy seafood and process it yourself. Just buy it alive and steam it.

What should we pay attention to in terms of accommodation?

Rizhao’s tourism industry is gradually maturing, and there are many types of accommodation. Diverse.

Star-rated hotels: The ones near the sea include Lanqiao Jinjiang Hotel, Blue Horizon Hotel, Junlin Tianxia Hotel, Royal Holidays, etc.

Budget hotels: Jinjiang Inn, Home Inn, etc.

Ordinary hotels: numerous

Short-term rental apartments: uneven, a mixed bag, the better one is Runhai Short-term Rental.

Fishermen: There are many fishermen, which is a feature of Rizhao accommodation. Of course, they are also a mixed bag. Since food and accommodation are integrated, more attention should be paid to preventing slaughter.

Some of the restaurants with good reputations include Chocolate Fisherman’s House, Qianwangyuan Fisherman’s House, and Huijin Fisherman’s House.

Personally, I don’t recommend choosing a place to stay near the seaside in Taiyuan, because the sunshine in summer is also prone to traffic jams, making it inconvenient to go to the seaside.
