A visit to Liugong Island is well worth it. Several exhibitions are very informative and sparked patriotic passion, making it a great base for patriotic education. We also visited the Donghong Fort, which has its own exhibition and rich information. There's also a lot to learn about the Dingyuan warship, and the western part of the island offers many attractions. Overall, we learned a lot and spent seven hours on the island. Unfortunately, we weren't able to visit a few spots.
There are not many people at this time, and the weather is not hot. It is a good time to travel. The island is very clean and the environment is beautiful. I brought my parents here. The ticket for people over 70 years old is 31 yuan. I bought a sightseeing bus ticket in the park for 60 yuan per person. It’s better to spend some money when you go out to play and try not to get too tired.

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.

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.
The scenic area is not particularly large. There are two sightseeing spots, one is the end of the world and the other is the blessed land of the East China Sea. It is nice to walk around the scenic spot. There is a sightseeing bus, which costs 20 yuan per person for a round trip. It will save some effort between the two attractions. Overall, the ticket price is still a bit expensive.

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 staff at the scenic spot were super nice. There were staff members everywhere we went. They kept explaining the same questions and never showed any impatience. During the ride, a child dropped some potato chips, and the driver turned around to get them. It was really heartwarming. A great experience!
This is hands-down the best scenic spot I've visited this year.
It's uncrowded, beautiful, close to the city center, with a well-organized route, and excellent value for money.
The live performances are definitely worth seeing, including explosions, shipwrecks, and even airplanes.

I came here to check in during the holiday. As expected, I was not disappointed. First of all, I like the environment here. Secondly, the service is also in place. In short, I am very satisfied. The children are very happy.
Ocean World is average, and the price isn't worth it for adults.
The highlight was the 5D motion picture on the third floor, which was quite impressive.
The beluga whale show at the aquarium was quite hilarious, as it was supposed to be a pair, but one whale got upset and refused to cooperate.
I'm giving it 4 stars because I get free tickets to the adjacent Experience Center and the Gudao Wolf Warrior show.
The Experience Center ticket included a visit to the exhibition, and the scenery was okay.
Gudao Wolf Warrior was worth the price of admission. Seeing Gudao Wolf Warrior was truly worth the trip.
During the peak summer season, the crowds were incredibly large. Make sure to queue up in advance to see the show.

Torch 8th Street is a popular online photo-taking spot in Weihai. Its sloping streets are lined with European-style buildings, and it ends directly on the sea. On clear days, the sea and sky blend like a cartoon, creating a breathtaking photo opportunity. The street is dotted with cafes, unique shops, and restaurants, satisfying visitors' dining, drinking, and shopping needs.
However, during peak season, the area is often crowded, requiring queues for photos. Traffic congestion can also be a problem, making parking difficult. Some shops are a bit overpriced, and the commercial atmosphere can be a bit detrimental, making it more suitable for a quick stop.
Torch 8th Street, located in Weihai City, Shandong Province, is a city road named after the Weihai Civil Affairs Bureau. The unique charm of Torch 8th Street is: Geographical : Huanhai Road from the north, Wenhua West Road from the south, 843 meters in length, and asphalt road leads directly to the international bathing beach. Vision Feature : The ramp design of the south high and north low has formed a unique longitudinal depth, and the visual effect of the sea and sky at the end is similar to the Japanese animation scene. Upgrade : In 2022, the old buildings have rejuvenated and rejuvenated through micro-update projects such as facade transformation and landscape improvement.

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.
