Zibo’s attractions are spread out, so if you want to explore different parts of the city, look for lodging near central transportation hubs—Zhangdian District is particularly convenient. This area offers easy access to shopping, dining, and public transport, making it a great base for your stay. If you’re planning a longer visit and want to explore more of the surrounding districts, you may need to change accommodations to experience different areas. Fortunately, Zibo has a wide variety of hotels, so whatever your interests, you’ll likely find a suitable place nearby.
Starting in 2024, all licensed hotels in Zibo are legally required to accommodate foreign visitors (with exceptions for specific restricted areas). However, some small inns may be hesitant due to unfamiliarity with the registration process or the perceived hassle of handling foreign guests. In such cases, you could try showing the hotel front desk the relevant regulations in Chinese. High-end hotels generally won’t have these issues; their staff are usually more experienced in serving foreign travelers, whether in the city center or outlying areas.
