Just returned from Rizhao.
You can go to Lianyungang first, exit the station square to the roadside, and walk to the left within 300 meters to the bus station. Take the bus to Rizhao and wait for the bus at the station, which is very convenient. Go to Rizhao Bus Station (3-4 hours). There are buses across the road. They all cost 1 yuan and don’t give change. There are many tricycles in Rizhao city. It is very convenient for short-distance travel. You can negotiate for 3 to 5 yuan by yourself. You can take a bus to the bus station. Wanpingkou Station, there is a bus plaza here, it should be a hub station, providing transfer buses. Near Wanpingkou Station is Wanpingkou Scenic Area, which is worth a visit.
You can take a bus to the Lighthouse Scenic Area and pass the sailing base. I went directly to the Lighthouse Scenic Area. There are rocks on the beach and there are many fish and shrimps. There is a starting point for the tourist line in the small square of the station at the entrance of the Lighthouse Scenic Area! It is the only bus line to Wangjiazao, Renjiatai and Forest Park, priced at 3 yuan/person. (Starts at 8 o'clock, 1 hour/trip, only one trip) Along Bihai Road to the terminal station, Rizhao Forest Park, stay in the park, pass by many free seaside bathing beaches, the entrance fee to the forest park is 60 yuan, and there are hotel reservations available. If you come out to pick them up, you can get a discount of 10 yuan/person. There is a shopping street at the entrance of the Forest Park, where you can find food, drinks and fishermen’s accommodation! If you stay in the park, you can get tickets issued by the hotel and come in and out at will.
It is better to stay in the forest park! It's close to the seaside, the park is safe, and it's more expensive than a fisherman's house! I stayed in the city for one day and in the park for three days. I think it’s OK to visit the lively Wanpingkou, Lighthouse Harbor, and Forest Park!
The food stall night market on Haibin 2nd Road in Rizhao City is very expensive and not worth recommending! The phenomenon of missing a few pounds is a serious rip-off! You ask the driver where to have dinner, and he will pull you here directly. . .
I also went to Shijiu Market. Seafood is not necessarily cheap, it is very dirty. I vomited three times after eating these shellfish, there was a lot of sand!
There is a museum in the city, you can check it out! Black pottery is a specialty product of Rizhao!
