生长在海边的果果

The whole family accompanied my parents to Hawaii, and Pearl Harbor was of course an important part of the tour. It included a lot of content, with the focus on the Arizona and Missouri battleship memorials. It was raining at the time, so the tour of the upper deck of the Missouri was temporarily cancelled, and I was disappointed that I didn&#39;t see the combat command cabin. The local climate is really good when it is sunny, but when it rains, it is fast and heavy like a bucket of water. You must bring sunscreen and an umbrella when you go out.

It feels different from what I imagined, there are mountains by the sea and a little flat land, but horseback riding is fun, two hours is a bit long and tiring, the coach is very nice, the sea is beautiful and it feels better than the ranch, it is very cool inside and the big trees can provide shade

🏖Beautiful beach check-in spot

● Naxianghai Diamond Beach: The sand here is as fine as powder, shining in the sun, and the sea water is clear and has a charming gradient color🌊. In ​​the evening, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkles on the beach, and the whole picture is as beautiful as a movie scene. It is a blockbuster with just a casual shot. Strolling along the beach, blowing the sea breeze, and feeling the good years, it is simply too comfortable.

● Jinshiwan Art Park: The seaweed houses in the park are unique and are a typical representative of Jiaodong traditional architecture. They are scattered on the seaside, set off by the sea, blue sky, and grass, full of artistic atmosphere🎨. Here, you can slow down, appreciate the unique architectural style, and take literary and fresh photos from all angles.

● Xiaoshi Island: It is a treasure check-in spot in Weihai! During the day, the sea water is sparkling, suitable for walking along the beach and riding the waves🌊. In the evening, this is a great place to watch the sunset at sea. The sun slowly sets, dyeing the sky orange-red, and the entire sea surface is shrouded in afterglow, which is breathtakingly beautiful. It is also a good place to go to the sea. When the tide is low, you can bring small tools to experience the fun of catching crabs and digging clams.

🏘A good place for humanities

● Liugong Island: As an important witness to China&#39;s modern history, Liugong Island carries rich historical and cultural connotations. There is the Sino-Japanese War Museum on the island, which displays a large number of precious historical relics and materials, vividly showing that magnificent history. When you board Liugong Island, it seems that you can travel through time and space, feel the golden weapons and iron horses of the year, and have a deeper understanding and thinking of history💪.

● Weihai Huaxia City: Here, natural landscapes and cultural landscapes are cleverly combined. There is the magnificent first archway in China, the simple and elegant Xia Garden, and the wonderful landscape performance. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful garden scenery, feel the strong cultural atmosphere, watch the shocking performances, and appreciate the charm of Weihai in all aspects🎊.

🍱Special food is not to be missed

● Weihai barbecue: Weihai&#39;s barbecue is unique, featuring seafood barbecue. Fresh squid, oysters, scallops, etc., are grilled on charcoal fire, with golden and crispy skin, tender and juicy inside, and sprinkled with special seasonings, the fragrance is overflowing, making people salivate🍗.

🎈Tips for playing

● Transportation: The transportation in Weihai is relatively convenient, and buses can reach most attractions. If you want to travel more freely, renting a car and driving yourself is also a good choice, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way🚗.

● Accommodation options: If you like lively, you can choose to live in the city; if you want to get close to the sea, the seaside homestay is a good choice, and you can see the beautiful sea view as soon as you open your eyes in the morning🏨.

● Seasonal recommendation: Summer (June-August) is the peak tourist season in Weihai. The weather is warm and suitable for swimming and water sports. Autumn (September-November) has clear skies and plump seafood. You can taste a variety of fresh seafood, which is also a good time to travel🌞.

Battleship Missouri Memorial

As a key visiting project of Pearl Harbor, you must set aside more than 2 hours. The lower level is where naval officers and soldiers live and work, the deck focuses on the site where Japan surrendered during World War II, and the upper level has a combat command room.

大吃吃吃货

The overall feeling is good, with characteristics and local cultural displays, but I don&#39;t understand some of the check-in projects. I don&#39;t know where to get the stamps. There is no detailed introduction, and the time of each project conflicts, so I run around. But overall it is still unique
