Rizhao

A seaside city on a sunny coast, Rizhao has beaches, fishing villages and forested mountains, perfect for a relaxed getaway.

Rizhao lies in southeastern Shandong on the Yellow Sea, and gets its name ("sunshine") from its abundant sunlight and clean beaches. Wanpingkou, the Lighthouse scenic area and the Sunshine Coast greenway are popular seaside spots for beachcombing, seafood and fishing-village stays; inland are Wulian Mountain and Fulai Mountain, where the ancient ginkgo tree at Dinglin Temple is widely known. Summer is ideal for a beach holiday, and spring and autumn for hiking. You can arrive via Rizhao Shanzihe Airport or high-speed rail.
