Rizhao Lighthouse Scenic Area
日照灯塔
A white lighthouse on the seaside rocks, a classic spot in Rizhao for sunrise over the sea and iconic city photos.
Rizhao Lighthouse is on the southeast seaside of the city. Its white tower stands on rocks and is surrounded by a lighthouse square, a lighthouse beach and wooden boardwalks. It is the city's symbol. Its most famous draw is the sunrise over the sea. On clear mornings, the sun rises from the water and forms a silhouette with the lighthouse. Large numbers of tourists and photographers often gather early in the morning, so check the sunrise time in advance and arrive at least 30 minutes early. During the day, you can watch the tides and look for shells on the rocky reef. In the evening, the 'Lighthouse at Dusk' view is also beautiful. The lighthouse scenic area is free to enter. It is connected to Wanpingkou by the Sunshine Coast Greenway, so you can cycle or walk between them. Seafood restaurants and guesthouses are concentrated nearby. The rocks are slippery, and when the tide is high, do not approach the outer reef.
