When traveling to Weihai, will you fall in love with the unique charm of this city?

Take a slow tour in Weihai, encounter the gentleness of the Orange Sea, and tune your life to your favorite channel at the sunset on Maotou Mountain. 🏝Must-visit attractions recommended 1⃣Liugong Island ▪️Features: The Sino-Japanese War Memorial, where history and nature blend together. When you go to the island, you can visit the Sino-Japanese War Museum, the Beiyang Fleet Commander's Office, and take a boat around the island to enjoy the scenery of the Yellow Sea. ▪️Tips: The boat ticket + entrance fee is 122 yuan. It is recommended to take the early boat to avoid the crowds. The ultraviolet rays on the island are strong, so you need to wear sunscreen. 2⃣ Torch 8th Street ▪️Highlights: A popular check-in spot, colorful streets leading directly to the sea, and a fresh Japanese style. It is recommended to take photos in the early morning to avoid the crowds. ▪️Surroundings: Close to the international bathing beach, you can play in the sand and waves along the way. 3⃣ Chengshantou (the end of the world) ▪️Features: The easternmost point of China's coastline, with beautiful sunrises over the sea. Qin Shihuang visited here twice. ▪️How to play: There are the Shihuang Temple and Furudonghai Cultural Area in the scenic area. It is recommended to drive by yourself or charter a car (1 hour drive from the city). 4⃣ Naxianghai Diamond Beach ▪️Advantages: Few people, fine sand, a very healing windmill coastline, and the internet-famous coffee shop "Black Coffee" faces the sea. ▪️Tips: Free and open, suitable for taking photos at sunset, with hot spring resorts nearby. 5⃣ Maotou Mountain ▪️How to play: Drive or ride a bike around the sea, overlook the cat-head-shaped reef from Observation Deck No. 2, and hike on the cliff wooden plank road. ▪️Tip: There are many bends on mountain roads, so novice drivers should drive carefully. 🍽Authentic cuisine 🔻Must-try food: ◾️Seafood feast: Spanish mackerel dumplings, Weihai braised fish, sea urchin steamed egg, bird shell sashimi ◾️Korean cuisine: BBQ, spine soup, Korean noodles (recommended Mama's Hand, Jinriwei) ◾️Snacks: fried skewers (Weihai version), fish pot pancakes, wedding cakes 🔻Food Court: ◾️Dongcheng Road Night Market: full of fireworks, grilled oysters, sea urchin steamed eggs, and durian cheese cakes are must-try. ◾️Han Le Fang: A gathering place for Korean cuisine. The night market is lively but the prices are slightly higher. Pay attention to price comparison. 📈Classic itinerary reference 🔻Three days and two nights tour ✔️Day1 City Scenery: Liugong Island (morning) → Weihai Park (large photo frame sculpture) → Xingfu Gate → Yuehai Park (lighthouse swing) → Hanlefang supper. ✔️Day2 Sea Tour: Half Moon Bay (sunrise) → Maotou Mountain → Grape Beach → Torch 8th Street → International Beach (sunset). ✔️Day3 Natural wonders: Chengshantou (sunrise) → Hailu Island (flocks of seagulls in summer) → Naxianghai Beach for leisure → return. 🔻In-depth tour expansion: ✔️Yandunjiao, Rongcheng (Swan Lake in winter, where tens of thousands of swans inhabit from November to March). ✔️Huaxia City Legend Show (large-scale live performance, shocking night show). ✔️Likou Mountain (hiking in the suburbs, taking photos in the autumn persimmon forest). 📌Practical Tips 🔺Transportation: ▪️Weihai Station/North Station is convenient for high-speed rail, and the airport is a 40-minute drive from the city. ▪️Scan the QR code to take the city bus. For the seaside road, it is recommended to rent an electric car (about 60 yuan/day) or drive yourself. 🔺Accommodation: ▪️Coastal area in the city: near the International Bathing Beach (many B&Bs with sea views, such as "Facing the Sea"). ▪️Rongcheng area: Naxianghai Resort (suitable for families/couples, with complete facilities). 🔺Guide to avoiding pitfalls: ▪️Ask the price of seafood at food stalls before ordering. We recommend old restaurants such as "Bai Xing Seafood BBQ" and "Northern Dumpling King". ▪️Be careful when choosing “high-priced attractions” recommended by taxi drivers and check the routes in advance. ⏰Best season: ✅June-September: Best time for swimming in the sea. Booking is required in advance during the peak season from July to August. ✅November-March: Less crowded and more secluded, you can see swans at Yandunjiao in Rongcheng, and the price of seafood is lower. 💡Essential items: ✅Sunscreen, sun hat, slippers (for walking on the beach at any time), and a thick windproof jacket in winter. Weihai can heal your fatigue with its azure coastline, delicious fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish, and a life pace that is slow to the bone. Collect the guide and go on a spontaneous seaside escape!
