Every inch of its land exudes a unique charm, and every scenery is intoxicating. Now, let me present you with this super detailed Rongcheng travel guide for May, and let us start this romantic coastal trip together! 🗺Travel route: Day 1: Rongcheng High-speed Railway Station - Huaxing Hotel - Allenwan Marine Ranch - Baihe Bay - Children's Palace - Folk Village - Sakura Lake Day 2: Huaxing Hotel - Chishan Fahua Temple - Dada Dumpling City - Dongchu Island - Barbecue Manor - Xiekou Island for clamming Day 3: Chengshantou - North Line Sea-crossing Cableway - Shendiao Mountain Wild Animal Park - Shuntai Restaurant - Hailu Island - Hotel rest Day 4: Ailianwan Beach - Blue Wiseman - Jiming Island - Na Xianghai 📌Introduction: Rongcheng is located at the easternmost end of the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a long coastline and abundant marine resources. The four seasons here are distinct, and the climate is pleasant. In Rongcheng in May, the sea breeze is gentle and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, making it a good time to travel. 🌟Main attractions recommended: 1. Chengshantou: The most beautiful coastline in China. It is the easternmost end of the mainland coastline of China and is known as the "Cape of Good Hope of China." The sunrise at 5–6am is super stunning. Standing on the top of the mountain, watching the sun slowly rise from the sea, the golden sunlight shines on your body, as if the whole world is lit up. Taking pictures here will be amazing! 2. Swan Lake: Although you can't see swans in May, the natural scenery here is still charming. The vast lake, clear lake water, and the surrounding wetland ecosystem are also very rich, making it a good place for walking and leisure. 3. Chishan Scenic Area: The mountains and seas are connected, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. From mid-April to early May, the Cherry Blossom Festival will also be held here. The cherry blossoms all over the mountains are like clouds and rosy, filling the pink romantic atmosphere. The attractions in the scenic area, such as Chishan Fahua Temple, Daming Holy Land (Chishan Mingshen), and Jixiang Ping'an Valley, also have their own characteristics. 4. Shendiao Mountain Wild Animal Park: A fun-filled coastal wildlife park where you can see all kinds of cute animals up close, as well as wonderful animal shows. It is suitable for both family trips and couples. 5. Hailu Island: A seabird habitat with rugged rocks. Take a boat to the island, and you can see flocks of seagulls soaring in the sky. Here, you can experience the fun of feeding seagulls and feel close contact with nature. 6. Na Xianghai: A diamond beach with soft sand and clear water. In the evening, you can also see the beautiful orange sea sunset, and you can take great photos casually. 7. Dongchu Island: A fishing village surrounded by the sea on three sides. There are 300 seaweed houses in the village, which are full of fishing village customs. There is also a Mazu Temple, as if you have entered the world of Hayao Miyazaki's comics. 8. Blue Wiseman: A popular online celebrity check-in spot, a stranded giant ship. The unique scene attracts countless tourists to take pictures and leave memories. 🍱Food recommendations: 1. Seafood feast: A paradise for seafood lovers. The seafood here is carefully selected fresh seafood with guaranteed quality. All kinds of seafood gather together, allowing you to enjoy it all at once. 2. Spanish mackerel dumplings: Rongcheng's special delicacy. The dumpling skin is chewy, and the Spanish mackerel meat is fresh, tender, and juicy. Take a bite, and it is full of the taste of the sea. 3. Seaweed Baba: Made from local seaweed, it has a unique taste and a slight fishy smell. It is a traditional delicacy loved by local residents. 4. Korean food: Rongcheng has many good Korean restaurants. Barbecue, bibimbap, kimchi, and other classic Korean dishes are very authentic and can satisfy your taste buds. 🏠Accommodation guide: 1. Hotels: Huaxing Hotel, Nishi Haitai, Jiulong Sheng Hotel, Swan Hotel, Longyuan Meilun Meihuan, Hilton Hampton, Shuguang Holiday Hotel, etc. are all good scenic hotels in Rongcheng city, with excellent locations and complete facilities. 2. Homestays: Huafa Sakura Lake, Haiyi Changtan, and Haijingge are the first choice; Hengda Yuhai Peninsula is by the sea, which is suitable for clamming; Zizai Lanwan is extremely cost-effective for 2 people, and you can enjoy the lake and the sea; Changqing Hai World is suitable for family living. Pu Miss Homestay is recommended, and the beach and clamming area are right outside the door. 📌Travel tips: 1. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Rongcheng in May is large, so remember to bring a light coat. 2. The ultraviolet rays on the beach are strong, so be sure to take sun protection measures and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, sun hats, etc. 3. Rongcheng's attractions are relatively scattered. If you don't drive, it is recommended to rent a car, which will be more convenient and time-saving. 4. You can bargain appropriately when buying seafood at the seafood market, but be careful not to overdo it to avoid unpleasantness. 5. Remember to prepare some stomach medicine for friends with weak stomachs, because most of Rongcheng's delicacies are seafood-based, which may cause a certain burden on the stomach. 🌈The beauty of Rongcheng needs you to experience it yourself. This May, why not pack your bags and take a trip to Rongcheng that you can take at any time! I believe you will be conquered by the charm of this city and leave a good memory.

In winter, you must take your kids to Rongcheng, Shandong Province, and have a winter date with hundreds of swans! [Overall itinerary] Self-driving: Beijing-Zibo-Rongcheng. It takes too long to drive directly from Beijing to Rongcheng (7-8 hours). You can go to Zibo first and rest for one or two days before going to Rongcheng (5 hours' drive). [Accommodation] Hampton Inn by Hilton. I still had my parents and baby with me, so I didn’t choose a B&B. Instead, I chose the Hampton by Hilton in downtown Rongcheng. The hotel is new, has good service, is cost-effective, has large rooms, and is in a great location! For three adults and one child, we chose the Hampton Suite (💰more than 600/night) and the Superior King Room (💰more than 300/night, and the hotel upgraded it to a deluxe room after arrival). 🌟The best thing about the hotel is that it is only two kilometers away from Kowloon City Shopping Plaza and Sakura Lake Swan Park, a 5-minute drive, which is great! Hotel parking is free. 💁🏻‍♀️We went to three major places to watch swans, and I will introduce them one by one below. 1⃣️Yandunjiao (the furthest 30 kilometers from the city) To be honest, I don’t recommend taking children to Yandunjiao. Because it’s on the beach, it’s so windy and cold that you’ll be blown away. Moreover, there is a fence on the shore, so you can’t have close contact with swans. The experience is not good, either. Not in the mood to take photos. Advantages: There are many swans, the seaweed house is very unique, and it is on the same line as the Bruce, so you can go there (but it was really too cold, so my son and I didn’t even go to take pictures of the stranded ship). 2⃣️Chezhugou (must go) I really like the Chezhugou Swan Lake. It is not that cold and I can get up close to the swans. We were very happy to feed them (💰5/3 pack of swan corn kernels). We can also see the real-life ugly ducklings, which is the best place to take pictures. Next to it is the White Goose Cafe, where you can easily have lunch! 3⃣️Cherry Blossom Lake Park in the city (a must go, preferred if you are bringing children) Just behind the Kowloon City Shopping Plaza, you can watch the swans after eating in Kowloon City! Rongcheng People’s Swan Park made me envious again! Chezhugou is a natural scenery, Sakura Lake Park is an urban scenery (closer to the swans than Chezhugou), the wide lake surface, the warm sunshine in winter, admiring the swans and ducks playing on the lake, my mood I felt very comfortable immediately. I felt like staying there all morning was not enough. The baby was dragged away by us in the end. We couldn’t feed the swan enough! 💁🏻‍♀️Special recommendation: Liang Ji Fresh Fish Farm is right next to the hotel. The food is impressive, the taste is great, the price is excellent, and it has local specialties. You can try it!
