It's a great place for children, as it's very interactive. However, each interactive step requires an additional fee, such as feeding giraffes, capybaras, and seals. You can buy apples, bananas, carrots, and chicken necks in advance at the Jiajiayue Supermarket in parking lot 5. They're quite expensive there, but staff won't let you feed them, so you'll have to do it secretly. It's not recommended for the elderly, or to take the sightseeing bus the entire way, but you'll miss many animals. There's a hill to climb right after entering the zoo, and then another hill to climb, which requires a lot of stamina.
I visited the Shendiaoshan Zoo during the summer vacation.
Parking and Transportation: Parking is quite convenient, with several large parking lots and free parking.
Activities: While there are many activities available, the prices are reasonable.
For example, feeding the animals costs about 20-30 yuan per portion, which is similar to other zoos. The magic carpet ride is also affordable and worth a try. Drinks and snacks are slightly more expensive than outside, but are typical for scenic spots.
Tips: The entire route is one-way, and the amount of hiking and walking is quite intense, so be prepared if you're traveling with young children. Going there during the summer vacation meant I was often pushed around by the crowds, but overall the experience was quite good. There's a wide variety of animals here, and you can interact with many of them up close, like feeding giraffes and touching elephant trunks. The kids had a blast.
Overall, while it can be crowded during the summer, it's still worth a visit if you want to get up close and personal with the animals.

I bought a bucket of small fish and some large sausages outside the scenic area. There were a lot of seagulls, and they would fly with the boat. I would stick the fish on bamboo sticks and the seagulls would fly over and take them away. I could also break the sausages into small pieces and throw them to the seagulls.

Since we were traveling with elderly people, we opted to drive directly into the scenic area from the East Tianmen Gate at Chengshantou. The core attractions are the natural beauty of Tianjinduan and the Fu Culture Scenic Area, which boasts palaces and statues that reportedly cost hundreds of millions of yuan to build. Our route involved parking at the entrance of the Shihuang Temple and walking along the Tianya Plank Road along the coastal reefs all the way to Tianjinduan. The scenery was truly stunning. The driver then returned along the main road to the parking lot at Tianjinduan, where we picked up our group and continued on to the Fu Culture Scenic Area. The journey was approximately 2 kilometers, and the palaces and statues were quite spectacular, though not crowded.
I drove to Weihai and bought an 80-yuan bus ticket. I figured it would be more convenient to visit Tian'e End after visiting the other attractions by car. Walking along the coastal plank road from Dongtianmen, you'll enjoy breathtaking scenery, the Jelly Sea, and stunning reefs. The most stairs are near Tian'e End, with 165 steps in a row. From Tian'e End, I walked back to Dongtianmen via the inner road, which took about 15 minutes. The other attractions were man-made, which felt a bit low-key. Overall, the Tian'e End to Tian'e End walk was a fantastic experience. It's suitable for older people with good mobility. If you're driving and only plan to walk the coastal plank road, you can skip the 80-yuan bus ticket.

It's worth going. There are residents living on the island. It's very clean and the food is pretty good. There are also milk tea shops. Almost every one can stay here. It's not recommended for those with high requirements for accommodation. It's just an ordinary B&B. It's still very good to eat and walk around.
It takes about 15 minutes to get there by boat. During the trip, you can see flocks of seagulls. You can take ham and bread to feed them. It is very interesting. The scenery on the island is also very good. It is recommended to choose a cloudy day to go. Although there is a lot of greenery on the island, it is indeed very hot under the direct sun.

Weihai's Motianling Cableway boasts a reputation as Asia's longest cross-sea cableway.
The northern route (Motianling section) offers the best views of the ocean, while the southern route (Chengshan section) offers mountain views.
The Motianling Cableway is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling sights against the golden ocean in the early morning. It not only provides an excellent vantage point for sunrise viewing, but also offers panoramic views of the vast ocean and rolling mountains, capturing the beauty of nature.
The combination of blue sky, white clouds, and azure sea with the primary colors of the cable car is truly photogenic.
I arrived at the cable car ticket office at 9:00 am on a summer Sunday, and the line was incredibly long.
I chose to take the bus to the entrance for the lower section, where the line was shorter, but it still took an hour.
The view from the cable car is truly stunning, though the reflection from the glass slightly detracts from the effect.

The scenic area is mainly divided into two parts: Tianjinduan and Furudonghai. They are quite far apart, so you need to take a tour bus or drive yourself. Personally, if you don't want to see the performances and are short on time, you can skip Furudonghai Scenic Area! You can watch the sunrise at Tianjinduan, but everyone must remember to wear long clothes and long pants. The midges are so strong that the itching is unbearable!
The cable car ride lasted almost 40 minutes, and the scenery was breathtaking the entire way.
We mostly just rode the cable car and then took the bus down the mountain, though a few of us continued on to explore the scenic area.
The cabins held a maximum of four people, and entry and exit times were quick, with staff assisting.
For safety reasons, the cabins were fully enclosed, lacking fans or air conditioning, though some ventilation holes were left in the doors. The heat wasn't quite so hot on August 30th, and the sea breeze was pleasant during the first and second half of the ride. However, the middle section, sheltered from the elements, was still a bit stuffy.
Unfortunately, the fully enclosed cabin and the imperfect glass affected some of the photography.

Lying quietly amidst the azure waters, the shipwreck of the Blue West tells the story of time on the shores of Weihai Bay. Its rust-stained hull contrasts beautifully with the azure waters, creating a unique coastal landscape. As the tides rise and fall, it stands like a silent watcher, witnessing the gentleness and wildness of the sea. Every shot is a frozen moment in time, and every ray of sunlight gilds it with golden memories. Come here to converse with history and let your soul settle amid the sound of the waves.
We bought it at 10 pm, and a short while later someone called to discuss the next morning's schedule. They also suggested a 9.6-meter boat, which we gladly accepted. They even reminded us of the time that morning. When we arrived at the dock, it was pouring rain. The customer service representative even drove us the 200 meters. Although we ended up waiting for an hour, once we were on board, the owner took us to feed the seagulls, then circled the Blue Vis, and fished. He also helped the children adjust their rods time and time again. It was a truly wonderful experience. The kids had a blast.

There are not many indoor and outdoor pools, which needs to be improved. The surrounding area is located in the Naxianghai Tourist Resort, providing tourists with a variety of recreational options. The overall sanitary environment is good.
The pool is very clean. I especially want to praise the waiters there. Everyone is very nice. As soon as I get there, they will take the initiative to ask me what I need. The service is very thoughtful and enthusiastic. If they see that my towel is wet, they will give me a new dry one. If they see that I really soaked in wine, they will remind me of the time and send me hot water. They will also put my shoes straight for me. It's very gentle. I will definitely come again next time

This attraction has received mixed reviews, and I hesitated for a long time. Since I live nearby, I decided to go, and overall, it was okay.
Transportation: The parking lot at the entrance is large and convenient.
Tip: We bought tickets online, but they weren't valid. You have to book at least an hour in advance to get a discount. The ranch itself doesn't require much walking. You can visit the breeding area and exhibition area. Then, take a boat for a tour, enjoy the sea breeze, and watch the seagulls—just be careful about seasickness. The seafood is even prepared on site, but the hygiene and taste are not very good. It's just for fun. They sell dipping sauces, but they're not cheap.
Recommendation: Overall, it's not worth the visit for adults, but it's a worthwhile stop for children.
It's generally ok to take the kids here, it takes about 2-3 hours to queue up, only oysters and scallops can be picked and steamed for free, the scallops are delicious, the oysters are not delicious!
