Insider tip — Rizhao, whose name means City of Sunshine in Chinese, sits on the Yellow Sea coast of Shandong and has developed modern hot spring resort facilities drawing on deep sodium-chloride aquifers characteristic of China's coastal plains. The warm saline water is offered at indoor and outdoor pools within large resort complexes catering to domestic tourism from the Qingdao-Shanghai corridor. The Yellow Sea coastline here is broad and sandy, allowing a full beach-and-thermal itinerary in warmer months. October through November offers clear autumn weather and fewer crowds than the summer peak season.
