日照太阳文化节约定俗成，源远流长，经过多年发展，已逐步成为独具特色的民俗文化旅游活动。今年的太阳文化节在天台山旅游区、刘家湾赶海园同时进行，山海联动，游客和市民共同感受来自太阳文化的魅力。

天台山东南两面向海，西北两面环山，古有“登上天台山，凡人也成仙”的说法。天台山中有汤谷，是东夷人祖先羲和祭祀太阳神的圣地，也是东方太阳崇拜和太阳文化的发源地。山上遗迹众多，历来有东海日出、太阳神石、羲和部落、独占鳌头、神秘天书、量天尺的“天台六景”之说。近年来，天台山旅游区整合现有文化、生态、旅游等资源，进一步丰富太阳文化内涵，重点打造了观日台、天台书院、扶木宫三处文化核心。

天台书院位于天台山的半山腰，是日照首家以太阳文化为主题，富有古韵书香的特色书院。“出门是山景，进门是书香。”在书院寻一处安静的地方，选三两本喜爱的书籍，点一杯醇香可口的咖啡，可享受宁静惬意的时光。

在天台山风景区，不仅能感受悠久的太阳文化魅力，还可以去太阳街市玩个痛快。整个街市建筑古朴典雅、错落有致，有山水画卷、亭台楼阁之美。街上店铺各具特色，非遗手工艺品、地方特色美食、太阳文化商品，应有尽有。

若有兴致，游客还可体验手做香囊，通过选香、制香感受一场寻香之旅；身着汉服，在古香古色的街市射箭、投壶；饿了、累了，就近在天台食府、太阳餐厅歇歇脚，尝尝海沙子面、京东菜、海蜇脑子汤等当地特色美食，品味阳光与大自然的馈赠。

Rizhao,located on the shore of the Yellow Sea,is named for being “the first ray of light at sunrise”,and reputed as the “Oriental Sun City”.The Rizhao Sun Culture Festival is conventionalized and long-standing.After years of development,it has gradually become a folk cultural tourism activity with distinctive characteristics.

In recent years,the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area has further enriched the connotation of the sun culture by integrating existing culture,ecology,tourism and other resources,and mainly built three cultural cores,i.e.the Guanri (Sun Viewing) Terrace,the Tiantai Academy,and the Fumu Palace.

The large live-action dance performanceheld at the Guanri Terrace was grand and magnificent,which vividly reproduced the ancients’ worship and longing for the sun before the audience,and reflected the significance of the ancient and modern integration and the long-standing sun culture.

The Tiantai Academy,located on the mountainside of Tiantai,is Rizhao’s first characteristic academy with ancient book charm themed on the sun culture.You may find a quiet corner in the academy,choose a couple of books and order a cup of mellow and delicious coffee to enjoy a quiet and pleasant moment.

Taking the hibiscus (Fusang)tree as the cultural core,with a focus on the hibiscus tree,the Fumu Palace narrates the stories of the sun culture concerning “Sunrise from the Hibiscus Tree”,“Xihe Bathing with the Sun”,and “Dayi Shooting the Sun” in various art forms,including murals and sculptures.

In the Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area,you can not only feel the charm of the long-standing sun culture,but also enjoy your time on the Sun Street.On the street,there are distinctive stores,which sell intangible cultural heritage handicrafts,local delicacies,as well as sun culture commodities (from five sun-worshiping nations).
