I went directly to the third bathing beach. The beach is very big and the sand is very comfortable. There are many hotels around, both mid-range and high-end. It is also very convenient to eat. The bathing beach is free and the sea water is very clean. It is very good and comfortable to take children there.

Walking into Dongyi Town, it seems like traveling back to the ancient fishing village era. The town is located in Donggang District, Rizhao City, Shandong Province. It is the closest seaside tourist town to the sea in China. It has both quaint buildings and rich folk customs. The town consists of four islands, namely the fishing culture theme island, the folk culture experience island, the exotic culture island and the leisure and entertainment sightseeing island. Strolling on the quaint streets, there are traditional wood carvings and stone carvings on both sides, as if telling the ancient story of Dongyi culture. Seaweed houses are a major feature of the town. The thick seaweed on the roof exudes a natural atmosphere, making people feel the simplicity of fishermen's life. The food street is the most lively place, where delicacies and folk snacks from all over the country are gathered. I tasted the local seafood feast, and the delicious seafood made people aftertaste endlessly. In addition to food, the town also has rich cultural activities, such as traditional handicrafts, folk performances, etc., which make people feel as if they are in a living historical picture scroll. Dongyi Town not only has food and culture, but also romantic seaside scenery. From the town, you can walk to the beach in a few minutes, feel the sea breeze on your face, listen to the sound of the waves, and feel relaxed and happy. This is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place full of life, which makes people linger.
