"If you come to Rizhao for tourism, you must go to Wanpingkou", the Wanpingkou Beach in the scenic area is one of the most popular bathing beaches in Rizhao City.
The beach has a long coastline and the sea water is very blue at high tide. However, the sand is relatively coarse, and because it is open to the public for free, there are many people during the peak season every year.
The Tidal Tower is a landmark building in the scenic area. From the top of the tower you can overlook the entire scenic area and the sea.
The scenic area is suitable for water sports. You can take a speedboat, kayak, or even participate in surfing at the beach.

I went there with my family during the National Day holiday. Locals can visit for free with their ID cards, but outsiders have to pay. The entire scenic area is built along the coast. Just as the name Wanpingkou suggests, it is flat and has various marine entertainment projects. I happened to catch a sand sculpture exhibition and the beach is also very soft.
"If you come to Rizhao for tourism, you must go to Wanpingkou" has become a consensus among tourists from all over the world. The lagoon in the Wanpingkou scenic area is a natural safe haven. It has been a place where merchant ships anchor throughout the ages. It means "ten thousand ships arrive safely at the port", so it is named Wanpingkou, which also means that everything is safe and your life is safe. There are sea bathing, beach bathing, sea surfing, sea parasailing, beach cycling and other tourist entertainment projects in the Wanpingkou scenic area. The lagoon in the park is the largest natural lagoon in Jiangbei. The lake is wide, the wind is slow and the waves are stable. It is a great place to hold marine entertainment and events.
Every year when we go to Rizhao, we always stay in a fishing house. Fishing house is a major feature of Rizhao tourism, but choosing a fishing house is also very important. We go to Shanhaitian Fishing House in Wujiatai Village every year. The boss is very nice and hospitable, the room is clean, the seafood cooked by the boss's sister is also very delicious, and theirs is an old local store with nice decoration!
The main attractions of Wanpingkou Scenic Area include: Ecological Park, Lagoon, Lighthouse, Rizhao Pier, Wedding Park, Floating Pier, Rainbow Bridge, Rainbow Square, Children's Water Park, Sailing Square and Small Railway Track.
,
The scenic area has a coastline of more than 5,000 meters long and covers an area of 7.6 million square meters.
It’s best not to go there in the summer, as it’s too hot and you’ll get sunburned easily.
It's not very good. You have to buy a ticket when you come, which is not interesting. The wind industry is also very big today. It is not as good as the third bathing beach. At least it is free. It only costs money and there is nothing special about it.
Wanpingkou is located at the east end of Haiqu East Road and is a new tourist attraction. The beach here is relatively wide, and there are also some sea recreational projects and amusement facilities. It is very convenient to watch the sunrise. It is one of the most famous attractions in Rizhao. However, this beach itself is charged, which is a bit incomprehensible. The locals don't need tickets.
It was the Spring Festival holiday, and the wind was too strong, so there weren't many people and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Rizhao Wanpingkou Seaside Scenic Area is the largest scenic area in the city, with a coastline of 5,000 meters and an area of 7.6 million square meters. It has beautiful scenery and attracts many tourists.
The sand is not very fine. The scenery is nice. Walk further inside the entrance and there will be fewer people on the beach.
The view from Gate 3 is great, perfect for taking photos!
There are a lot of people swimming in the sea here, and the water is relatively clean, but it is a little expensive to rinse off.
Seaweed, seaweed... dancing in the waves! It's all seaweed
We went there on July 22, and the typhoon closed the sea the next day. We were so lucky. Although the ticket was 60 yuan per person, there was no limit on the number of times you could enter per day, which was great. The showers were free. And there were not only beaches and sea water, but also many entertainment facilities and attractions to enjoy. It was right next to the Three Baths, but it was worth it because there were fewer people. You can enter from 1 to 5, and Gate 1 has the most people. It is recommended to park your car at Gate 5, play in the water at Gate 5, then take the free train to Gate 1 for lunch, and then walk along the seaside pier to Gate 5 to return.
The train station is not far from the scenic spot. I took a quick look around there. It was quiet and suitable for a walk.
What the hell, I wouldn't have come to this place if I had known it was such a lousy place. It's such a rip-off. I'm really speechless after driving seven or eight hours to get here. It's the worst place in the country, bar none. And they charge. The sea water is emerald green, and there are seaweeds in the water.
Wanpingkou Scenic Area is a very controversial scenic area. It never charged in 2016, but started charging in 2017. At the beginning, local people in Rizhao were also charged, which aroused public anger. Finally, people in Rizhao could enter for free. Wanpingkou is mainly a beach. After charging, there are relatively fewer people. There are also many people in the peak season. I personally feel that it is average. After all, there are many free beaches in Rizhao, from Sanyu to Sunshine Coast Camping Park to large and small seaside beaches, Zhangjiatai Small Beach, Lijiatai Small Beach, etc., so I feel that there is no need for everyone to spend this money. Save this money to eat a big lobster... Drink Qingdao original juice... After experiencing Qingdao's 38 yuan per prawn, seeing too many tourists being ripped off in the Northeast Snow Town, and then to the tourism shady dealings in Sanya, the small city of Rizhao is also inevitable. In this profit-seeking world, too many coastal fishermen are contracted by outsiders and people from the Northeast. The rent is rising every year. How can there be any profit without ripping off tourists... Arriving in a strange city, we were like headless flies, and it is not an exaggeration to say that. We had bad food, unsatisfactory accommodation, and visited boring attractions, wasting our energy, and most importantly, wasting our money. Our family and company entertained us by booking a full-service Rizhao tour on Taobao.com, and asked the local guide Xiao Wang to arrange it. Everyone was very satisfied, and this will be our fixed unit in the future...
This place is becoming more and more beautiful. Charging a fee has its advantages, which is that it will be carefully planned and maintained.
The Tomorrow Sculpture is the symbol of Wanpingkou. It is beautifully designed and consists of an anchor, a rudder and a base. The rudder is surrounded by neon lights. When the lights are on at night, it is a clock showing the time. There is a tide timetable on the base.
Wanpingkou Seaside Ecological Plaza is the main square of Wanpingkou and also the largest square in the scenic area. Beautiful flowers bloom all year round. To the east of the square is the beach and the endless sea.
Because of the fee, it is not yet the peak season and there are not many tourists, so the whole square looks empty. Before the fee was charged, there were many people here all year round, and it was quite messy. Locals used it as a place to relax. Now that the fee is charged, it is much cleaner and tidier.
Because the park is very large, a small train has been opened. After purchasing a ticket, you can take the train to visit the beautiful scenery of Wanpingkou from stop to stop.
Rizhao doesn’t have a large amusement park yet. However, Wanpingkou has some amusement facilities, which can be regarded as a small amusement park in Rizhao. Many of them are suitable for children. It is a nice place to bring children to play here.
Of course, there are also many projects for adults. Although there are not many, these few are quite exciting. Each project costs only 20 yuan, which is very cheap.
It can be reached by taking bus No. 5. You can go directly from Lighthouse Square. It used to be free, but now the ticket is 60 yuan, but the management is better and the water quality is not bad. The scenic area is very large. I strongly recommend the beach on the right hand side of the entrance. The sand is very fine and the sea water is very clean. The beach is relatively large and the public facilities are good. Other entertainment facilities inside are charged, and the charges are not low. As for the beach alone, it is very good and exceeded expectations. When the weather is good, you can see the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky. Sun protection is very, very, very important, otherwise you can see the obvious difference between black and white in half an hour. The scenic area is relatively large. If you are in a hurry, you can skip some places, or take a sightseeing plane. The price is 380 per person and the time is not very long. Generally speaking, it is good, and the management of the paid scenic area is good.
The beach coastline of Wanpingkou is 5 kilometers long. If you walk the whole way, it will take a lot of time and energy. It is very suitable for staying for a few more days if you have plenty of time. This is a paid scenic spot. Tickets are divided into one-day tickets, two-day tickets and seven-day tickets. One-day tickets are 60 RMB and can be booked online. There are self-service ticket machines at the scenic spot ticket office. The discount is the same as the online discount. It seems more convenient to book tickets at the ticket machine. There is a sightseeing circular train in the scenic area. It takes about an hour to go back and forth along the coastline. When there are many people, you need to queue up for a seat.
The most famous scenic spot in Rizhao, it is generally recommended by people who come to Rizhao for the first time. I heard that this scenic spot was free before, but now the ticket price is 60 yuan, and 54 yuan on Ctrip. The scenic spot is very large, and it takes more than half a day to walk around. If you come here to swim in summer, there are supporting facilities for washing, which is very convenient. However, I heard from Zhonghai Fisherman that the seabed slope of Wanpingkou is relatively large, which is suitable for people who are familiar with water. People who are not very good at swimming should not swim too deep.
The beach chairs and parasols in the scenic area are free and open to the public. It is really pleasant for tourists to sit here and watch the sea!
The scenic area's sightseeing train is free to ride, with no limit on the number of times. The scenic area is so large that it is necessary to take a train to get around. My parents have bad knees, and thanks to this train, they can get around the entire scenic area. It is recommended that tourists with children can take this train if they find it too tiring. But here is a special reminder that some of the trains have to go through the woods, so you must watch your children and don't stick your head or hands out to look around, otherwise they will hit the branches on the roadside. I originally wanted to lean out and take a photo of the train, but a tree came towards me, so I quickly sat down and gave up the idea of taking pictures. When going out to play, remember to be safe!
There are quite a few sand sculptures in the scenic area, many of which are cartoon-themed, which children prefer. This is a great place for children to take photos.
The scenery of the scenic area is nice. The further north you go, the fewer people there are. The scenery on the north side of the scenic area is so grand that it seems to be reserved for everyone. I have to say that Rizhao's beach is really suitable for leisure and vacation.
Rizhao Wanpingkou Scenic Area should be the largest seaside scenic area in Rizhao. I heard that there are many fun entertainment facilities and it is more complete after the new renovation, so I chose to come here. Unfortunately, there was no ticket when I came here before. Now after the renovation, the ticket is 60 per person. There are 5 people in the same group, so I feel bad. But it is indeed much better than before, and the greenery is also very good. When I saw a cruise ship on the sea, I contacted Jinhui Travel Agency and Xiaoqin. The price was half price, which was super affordable and saved a lot of money. It is recommended to bring water in advance. The tourist area is definitely expensive 😂️ If you want to buy a souvenir, just buy it. You have to keep some memories after traveling.
One of the most distinctive scenic spots on the coast of Rizhao. "If you come to Rizhao for tourism, you must go to Wanpingkou", which has become the consensus of tourists from all over the world. Wanpingkou Scenic Area is a new tourist attraction on the golden coastline of Rizhao City. It means "the safe entry of ten thousand ships". It is located in the new urban area, at the easternmost end of Haiqu East Road. The coastline of the scenic area is 5,000 meters long and covers an area of 7.6 million square meters. It has convenient transportation. It is adjacent to Rizhao Seaside National Forest Park and Shanhaitian Tourist Resort in the north, Rizhao New Urban Botanical Garden and Cherry Blossom Garden in the west, and Rizhao Port and Lighthouse Scenic Area in the south.
We stayed at Shanhaitian Fisherman's House in Wujiatai Fishing Village. The fisherman's house is very close to the beach. The room is very clean and warm, parking is convenient, and the boss is very nice. I have to mention that the seafood cooked by the boss is absolutely great, the price is not expensive, and it is very fresh! The owner of the fisherman's house is a local and introduced us to many famous attractions in Rizhao. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to drive from the fishing village to Wanpingkou. Wanpingkou Scenic Area is close to the city and the scenery is beautiful. If you plan to play, you can prepare food for lunch because the things inside are too expensive. Remember, don't bring too many things, especially valuables, so as not to be stolen when playing. Just bring food and clothes! Also, sun protection must be done well. The ultraviolet rays of the sun at noon are very strong. Don't sunburn your skin!
A family of 6 drove to Rizhao. We got off the highway from Rizhao South and went directly to the Wanpingkou Scenic Area by the sea on Yingbin Road. It was charged for the first time in 2017. There was no charge when I came here by myself before. The ticket was 60 yuan per person, and it cost 360 yuan. After all, it was not easy to bring my family here. I felt that there must be a big change inside after the charge. After entering, I was a little disappointed. The water park at Gate 3 was a little small and the facilities were very simple. The wedding park was not suitable for us to play either, as it was close to Gate 3. I personally feel that the fee is a bit high. The playability of adding a few projects is average. In the afternoon, when I didn’t know where to go, a colleague in the circle of friends recommended a full-service Rizhao tourism on Taobao. The service was pretty good. I conscientiously recommended friends who went to Rizhao to find them. I was impressed that the tickets for fishing and other marine entertainment were only 30% off for us. Many tourists think that the Wanpingkou Scenic Area is an area centered on Wanping Stone near Gate 1, but they don’t know that the coastline of the scenic area is 4 kilometers long, the beach area is more than 300,000 square meters, and there are 5 entrances from south to north. Because the No. 1 gate area is close to the city, the flow of people is relatively dense. Go north from gates 1 to 5 to enter the scenic area. The train route in the scenic area runs from gate 1 to gate 5. You can exchange the full-price ticket for a sightseeing train experience ticket for free ride and get on and off freely. So even if you enter the park from gates 2 to 5, you can still take the train. Rock climbing and skywalking near gate 2 are also free with full-price tickets.
The train runs in a circle in the scenic area, with seven stops along the way: Wanpingkou Square → RV Camp Square → Skywalk → Wedding Park → Rainbow Square (Children's Water Park) → Yangfan Square (Children's Water Park) → Taigong Island Square.
When you go to Rizhao, you must go to Wanpingkou, a beach where you can swim in the summer. You can also go there in seasons when you can't swim. Although the sand is not very fine, it is very nice to walk along the beach.
Well, I went at a bad time. In December, it was winter, and I had to pay 40 dollars just to look at the sea and take a few photos? Forget it, I didn't go in, I just took a photo at the door and went home.
The beach is large, the water is clear, and the waves are strong.
It’s close to home and you can go back and forth in one day. Besides Lianyungang, you can also go to Rizhao and experience the feeling of the sea!
I strongly do not recommend visiting Rizhao after visiting Sanya. I originally wanted to stay in a hotel by the sea, and walk to the beach, but I found out when I arrived at Wanpingkou that it was not the case at all. The parking lot is far from the beach. After parking, you have to go through the parking lot, underground passage, and ticket office to enter. We walked for more than 20 minutes in the sun, and there were no signs. We asked several people before we got to the ticket hall. When we arrived at the seaside square, there were crowds of people. The sand was very coarse and there were many stones in it. When a child walked in it, I was afraid that she would scratch her feet. The sea water was quite clear and clean. This was the first time I heard that the beach had to be charged. The only advantage of Wanpingkou was that it was free to wash the sand and feet. It was not like that forest park, where everything cost money.
I went there with my dog on a self-driving tour. I think this place is very good. I can pretend to be abroad by taking photos. Maybe I went there during the off-peak season, so there weren't too many people. The water quality was pretty good. Rizhao is a good review.
We traveled a long way to Wanpingkou. The fee was originally 60, but they said that the sea water is warm now and there are many jellyfish, so we can’t go into the water! Did you laugh? You can’t go into the water at the beach! And the ticket is 40! Although it is the off-season, the ticket price is still quite depressing! What’s more depressing is that you can only watch the sea outside the cordon... Haha! Otherwise, you will be scolded to death by them, and you still have the mood to play? My son has been looking forward to it for a long time, and suddenly I feel so sad! Many tourists are still unwilling to give up, even if they are scolded, they still want to touch the sea water! Personally, I feel that the jellyfish is just an excuse. The purpose is to prevent tourists from going into the water, so that they can develop tourism projects in Wanpingkou, such as yachts, flying people, motorboats, etc.! Very disappointed!
2014.10
It's really great, the sea water is very clean, not inferior to Qingdao.
We first went to the World Sailing Championships Base. The fisherman bought discounted sailboat tickets for us. Wanpingkou is right outside the bay. It looks beautiful in the sea. We bought discounted tickets online for 54 as soon as we came out of the base. The coastline is very long, estimated to be 10 kilometers. You can't finish it on foot in a day, but you can take a small train. It takes only 5 minutes to get from Gate 1 to Gate 5. The hardware facilities inside are relatively complete. Flushing, sun umbrellas, and lounge chairs are all free. There are no tour groups and not many people. It's a good place to be in a daze! In the evening, we went back to the Kailai Fisherman's Seafood Banquet in Renjiatai. The boss's cooking skills are very good. How can seafood not be delicious if it's made by a 28-year-old fisherman! ! Those who like seafood can try it.
The first photo was taken on May 12, 2016. The second photo was taken in early spring when I went to Rizhao to attend a friend's wedding. The weather was not very warm yet, so I scooped up some sea water with my hands. It was very cold, and my hands turned red from the cold.
Wanpingkou has become a paid scenic spot since last year, but it is the representative of Rizhao. Wanpingkou also means everything is safe and peaceful, so tourists who come to Rizhao like to come here. The seaside beach in Wanpingkou Scenic Area is the second bathing beach in Rizhao. It can be clearly seen that the sand here is relatively coarse, not as good as the third bathing beach in Shanhaitian, and of course it is far from comparable to the fourth bathing beach in Wujiatai. However, because Wanpingkou is close to the city, it is quite mature and has complete facilities, so there are also many tourists here. Besides, it can't be compared with the good beach of the fourth bathing beach. After all, even in China, such a good pure natural beach is rare. The end of the Wanpingkou Scenic Area to the south is the estuary of the lagoon, so here during the day, the sea is full of sailboats and yachts.
Wanpingkou charges a fee, and many people are struggling to decide whether to go or not. Since the fee was charged, there are fewer people, and many tourists will go to the Wujiatai Village Beach to play. The family can save the ticket money and have a big seafood meal. Of course, everyone has different ideas; the level of Wanpingkou has been improved a lot, the hardware facilities are very complete, and the scenery is beautiful; Wanpingkou Scenic Area is the closest scenic area to the city, and it is not very convenient to eat and stay nearby. It is enough to spend half a day. At noon and in the evening, you can go to Wujiatai Fishing Village to eat and visit the night market. There are many fishermen there, and there is a great atmosphere. Of course, you should be cautious when choosing a fisherman. It is best to choose a fisherman run by locals to avoid being slaughtered. We have been to Shanhaitian Fishing House in Wujiatai Village. The boss is very nice, the accommodation is very clean, and it is very affordable to eat seafood. You can eat live seafood, and the boss’s cooking skills are great; in the morning, you can walk to the beach to watch the sunrise and take a walk, which is very convenient. Next to Wujiatai Village is the forest park, and the sea water here is unpolluted and very clean
1. Rizhao Wanpingkou Scenic Area implements a differentiated price policy for tickets in the off-season and peak-season. The main tourist services include: washing (cold water, hot water), storage, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, skywalks, rock climbing, parent-child water park, performing arts activities, sand sculptures, gardening displays, etc. The specific prices are shown in the hearing plan.
The Wanpingkou Scenic Area implements a differentiated price policy for tickets in the off-season and peak season. The price in the peak season (April 20 to October 10 each year) is 60 yuan/person, and the price in the off-season (outside the peak season) is 40 yuan/person. With the ticket, there is no limit on the number of entries and exits within the specified period. For consecutive days of sightseeing, preferential fares are implemented, that is, 80 yuan/person for a 2-day tour in the peak season, 100 yuan/person for a 3- to 7-day tour; 60 yuan/person for a 2-day tour in the off-season, 80 yuan/person for a 3- to 7-day tour. The main tourist services include: washing (cold water, hot water), storage, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, skywalks, rock climbing, parent-child water park, performing arts activities, sand sculptures, gardening exhibitions, etc.
I come to Rizhao every year. Every year when I come to Rizhao, we will stay at Shanhaitian Fisherman's House in Wujiatai Village. The fisherman's house is very clean, the boss is very enthusiastic and kind, just like at home. The fisherman's yard is very close to the beach, and you can walk directly to the beach to catch seafood, watch the sunrise, etc. The Wanpingkou Scenic Area was free in the past few years, but it started charging this year. Some of the facilities inside are completely different from before. The beautiful and generous sand sculptures, the golden coastline, and some projects for children to play have changed a lot. It is worth coming in to see. There are not as many people as before, and it is not as crowded as before to play. Wanpingkou is easy to find and close to the city, but there are almost no accommodations around. We booked a fisherman's house in advance, so we don't have to worry about finding a place to stay after we come here, and there is a lot of time left.
2. Preferential policies stipulated by the state. Elderly people aged 60 years and above (including 60 years old), active military personnel, and disabled people with valid certificates are exempt from admission. Children under 1.4 meters (including 1.4 meters) in height are exempt from admission. Minors over 1.4 meters in height and students in school with valid certificates can enjoy half-price discount. In actual implementation, our city’s policies are more relaxed than those stipulated by the state.
3. Residents of this city can enjoy the same treatment when entering scenic spots and purchasing tickets by using the "Tourism Card".
4. According to the policy, scenic spots shall not set two ticket prices for local and non-local tourists. Taking into account the daily exercise habits of local residents such as morning exercises, swimming, and evening exercises, the plan stipulates that local citizens can enter the scenic spot during the operating hours with a valid resident ID card, driver's license, student ID card, residence permit, and household registration booklet, and can enjoy free outdoor cool water washing, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, etc. However, if the scenic spot is required to provide indoor washing, storage, sky walking, rock climbing, parent-child water park and other services, a single fee must be paid.
The scenery is good, but it feels like there are too many people, and there shouldn't be many other small islands nearby
I have been to Rizhao 7 times. Wanpingkou has never charged a fee until 2016. Wanpingkou Scenic Area is known as the living room of Rizhao City. In 2016, the ticket price added hot water showers and the beach added sun umbrellas, but there were too few sun umbrellas in the peak season. I came to Rizhao mainly to play in the sea and the beach. Rizhao has many free beaches, and I feel that the ticket price is not worth it. I have been to Rizhao several times. The best time for food, accommodation and entertainment was to find a full-service Rizhao tourism on Taobao, which is especially suitable for friends who travel by car. The star-rated hotel arranged is much cheaper than online.
Wanpingkou Scenic Area has been charging admission since 2016, and some of the facilities inside have also been improved a lot. Wanpingkou is the living room of Rizhao. You must visit Wanpingkou when you come to Rizhao. There are Wanpingkou Bridge, lagoon, beach chairs, sand sculptures, tidal tower, and many other nice scenery.
After going to Qingdao, I went to Rizhao and found that the beach in Rizhao was cleaner than that in Qingdao. It might be because Qingdao has more people and the pollution is serious. When I went to Wanpingkou, it was free and I saw many fishermen digging seafood on the beach. If you want to see the sea, I suggest going to Rizhao.
I haven't entered the scenic area, so I can't comment on it, but the scenery outside the scenic area is also very good. In the distance, there are many ancient ships swaying together.
Very clean beach, running on the beach in the evening facing the sunset, very comfortable. The sea water here is very clean, the beach is not polluted, there are white alum dots on the sea, and seagulls fly overhead from time to time. The scenery, air, and view are several streets ahead of Xiamen Gulangyu. I like this place very much. I came here alone in 2016~
Although it has a lot of hype, the overall quality of Rizhao's beaches is not as good as that of other coastal cities. Wanpingkou is just famous because more people go there.
Only when you see the sea here, you can understand what the sea looks like? It's really a great place, but it started charging this year!!! I'm a little unhappy~~ It's been renovated inside, so it's charged! 60 yuan for tickets. The scenery is good, and you can record your fingerprints for a second entry, which is good, so you won't be allowed to come in after you leave. The scenery is really beautiful, but because I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to see the night view, which is a pity~~
Wanpingkou Scenic Area was originally very good. Now it has been renovated and reopened. It is much more beautiful than last year. Although it has started to charge, the environment has become cleaner and more beautiful, and tourists are not so noisy and crowded, which is not bad. The square is large and clean. It has become a landmark of Rizhao, a beautiful coastal town, and it can indeed represent the characteristics of this place. There are also various children's entertainment facilities here, but many of them are for adults or older children, and there are not many suitable for babies. Wanpingkou is the second bathing beach in Rizhao. The slope is steep, there are undercurrents, strong winds and waves, and the sand is rough. It is not suitable for children to play in the water, but it is also very good to watch the waves. Wanpingkou Scenic Area is not just the square, but includes a 4-kilometer-long coastline. All the way north to Taigong Island is the scope of Wanpingkou Scenic Area. This 4-kilometer-long coastline is covered with blue and white parasols and beach chairs, all of which are free for tourists to use. How much does it cost to rent a parasol and a beach chair at the beach now? It cost 150 yuan to rent a parasol at Wujiatai Beach last year. You can calculate it yourself to know whether the 60 yuan charge is expensive.
The ticket is 60 yuan now. I heard that the management is much better than before. When I went there, there were some cigarette butts on the beach and a little bit of garbage occasionally. There are free beach lounge chairs. Two chairs are put together with a big parasol in the middle. It is very comfortable. And there are fewer people now, so there are enough chairs. As for entertainment facilities, there are motorboats, motorboats, water bikes (I feel that the wind is too strong to pedal), and a motorboat pulling a parachute with a person hanging on the parachute. I slept on the beach and found many sailboats in the distance. It was beautiful, but the toilet corridor looked clean, but many people didn't flush or didn't flush it cleanly. It was quite smelly. There is a self-service ticket machine at the visitor center to buy tickets. Insert a bank card, it's very fast, 95% off each ticket, 57 yuan a ticket, manual It seems that there is no discount for tickets. The food inside is expensive, but not too exaggerated. I found a restaurant with a couplet posted at the door and a more unique menu. The black fungus and pork slices are 28 yuan a plate, and the portion is quite large. The staple food is expensive, and the seafood is very sandy. Some places are very coarse, and some places are very fine. Anyway, my feet hurt, and it was hot. I went there at 11 o'clock in the morning. The waves were small at that time. I didn't have a swimsuit but I walked hard into the sea. When the sea water was above the middle of my thighs, I couldn't see my feet in the water. At this time, a wave can wet my waist, but around two o'clock in the afternoon, the waves are high, and a big wave may wet you. It is not suitable for swimming. There are not many girls swimming in the water. It should be difficult to try swimming here for the first time. Get off the bus at the bus station, turn left and walk to a crossroads with McDonald's. Turn left again. There is a sign for bus No. 6. You don't need to cross the road. The ticket is one yuan. It takes nearly 40 minutes. On the way back, you can take the bus at the place where you got off.
Very clean, the beach is very soft, many facilities are under construction, the train is good, the ticket is 60, the train is 20 one way, 30 round trip, and the speedboat is 80. The speedboat is a bit deceptive. It said it was a long way but it took two minutes to get there. It stopped on the sea and bargained. If you walk further, you have to pay more. Not recommended
Rizhao doesn't have many famous attractions. Wanpingkou is a well-known place. There are many seaside villas built near it. The beach is not very commercialized and the sand is quite good. Wanpingkou is also called Rizhao Second Bathing Beach. It should be the place with the largest number of visitors. The first thing that comes into view is a big stone with three big characters "Wanpingkou" written on it. However, it is recommended to take pictures from a distance so that you can take a panoramic view. The small market outside Wanpingkou is also a good place to buy souvenirs, because you can use your bargaining skills to find what you like. Coral is a good choice.
Very clean city, few people, very comfortable. Free attractions, down the stairs is the sea, but when I went there during the Spring Festival, the sea breeze was a bit cold.
The famous Wanpingkou is said to have a ten-mile-long golden beach. The lagoon in the Wanpingkou Scenic Area is a natural shelter. In the past, it was a place where merchant ships anchored. It means "ten thousand ships arrived safely at the port", so it was named "Wanpingkou". Now the lagoon is a water park and the Olympic Sailing Center, where the 2008 Olympic sailing competitions and other activities were held. Wanpingkou Beach, also known as the Second Beach, is an open seaside square park with no tickets. The view here is wide, the sea is deep, and the wind is slightly strong. The water quality is relatively good, but the shallow water area is very small. The sand here is average, and the beach is full of stones. Be sure to bring a pair of beach slippers to wear, otherwise it will hurt your feet.
The most familiar city. I have been to this city countless times during my college years. It is very familiar. I still remember the seaside.
Feel the sea breeze, listen to the music, and watch the tides rise and fall
Wanpingkou Seaside Scenic Area is located at the easternmost end of Rizhao City. It is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Rizhao. There is a saying that "If you come to Rizhao for tourism, you must go to Wanpingkou". Wanpingkou Seaside has fresh air, beautiful scenery and clear sea water. It has a five-kilometer-long wide beach and is a resort for beach leisure and summer vacation. It is also a great place to watch the sunrise.
It feels great, very characteristic of the northern seas, and the fog is quite heavy in the morning.
I really like Tsingtao beer🍺it's really worth it...
The scenery is beautiful. I just played at the beach for two days. The food in the scenic area is a rip-off, expensive and not delicious. I suggest you bring your own food and do a good job of sun protection. You don't need to book a room in advance. There will be many fishermen soliciting customers when you leave the train station. It is more convenient to stay in Qiaojiadunzi, which is close to all the attractions. You can try the seafood and barbecue there, which is not bad.
I came here once before I had my baby.
Later, I brought the children here for a walk after coming down from Wulian Mountain, and of course she also went into the water.
Compared to the north, the sand there is really super fine, and there is water flowing, and there are small crabs, and the kids are having a lot of fun playing there.
The lighthouse is at the southernmost end of the Wanpingkou Seaside Scenic Area. Note that the red and blue lights on the top of the lighthouse at the World Sailing Base in the middle of Wanpingkou are tidal towers, not lighthouses. Through the transparent glass at the bottom of the lighthouse, you can see a circle of pictures and texts about the lighthouse, but in order to protect the lighthouse, tourists are not allowed to visit. A few steps from the lighthouse is the beach, with reefs extending into the sea. Some people take wedding photos on the reefs, and the sea water is very clean.
I didn't expect the sea in Rizhao to be so beautiful. I just stayed there for one night and found that the scenery was comparable to that in Qingdao.
Only when you are there can you truly feel the beauty... Ba Jin once wrote: "It broke through the clouds and completely jumped out of the sea. The color was very lovely red. In an instant, this deep red round thing suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which hurt people's eyes, and the clouds next to it suddenly became bright. Sometimes the sun walked into the clouds, but its light shot down from the clouds and directly onto the water. At this time, it was not easy to distinguish where the water was and where the sky was, because I only saw a brilliant light. "I have never seen the sunrise over the sea before, but now I see it, it is just like what he wrote. Because I really can't distinguish between the sky and the water, I only see a brilliant light!
When I was 18 years old, I went to see the sea for the first time. It can really accommodate a lot of your negative emotions and make you spend a happy day.
In July 2015, I was in Rizhao and the weather was sunny.
My first trip with my boyfriend. Suitable for hot girls
The bathing beach is free and the parking lot is large! There are really a lot of people, you can rent a big umbrella and play in the sand!
Although the water at Wanpingkou is not as blue as it is on TV, when you stand in the water and have close contact with the sea, you will find that you are so small and nothing is a problem in front of the sea. When wave after wave of water hits the beach, everything in the past is long gone.
This is my second time to see the sea. I came to Rizhao with my best friend of many years. This time is the lowest cost. The group fee, food and accommodation are very cheap, but the quality of the trip is still equal to the price. However, there is no unhappiness with friends, only joy... It is still good. You can eat fresh seafood and drink beer. Fortunately, I found a starfish. We swam in the sea and it tasted salty...
Wanpingkou has all kinds of facilities, but the sand is coarser than the third beach. When we went there, it was high tide, the waves were very good, but the sea water was not very clean!
There are many recreational facilities and handicraft shops in Wanpingkou. It is said that the coastline is quite steep, so swimming there is not recommended. The speedboat we took there cost 80 yuan for two people with children. If there are more people, you can negotiate the price. However, my baby was over three years old and less than one meter tall, but he was still charged, which I felt was not reasonable.
Although it was dark, there were still many citizens and tourists, young and old, playing at the beach with their swimming rings.
Beautiful
For beautiful seaside, come to Rizhao
This is a very beautiful beach.
There won't be the grand business atmosphere of a big city.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seaside city
This is the Wanpingkou Seaside Scenic Area in Rizhao City
It is also Rizhao’s image reception hall, where tourists from all over the country have left their footprints. Are you still hesitating?
If you are tired and need to rest, you can find a nearby seaside farmhouse, which is also the farmhouse we stayed in. It is very clean and sanitary. They can also process seafood for us. They use pure peanut oil for cooking. I can recommend their phone number to everyone: 18263326216
