A poetic retreat between mountains and sea, the lesser-known Yashang Viewing Platform.
In Weihai, there's a place favored by both mountains and ocean—Yashang Viewing Platform. Tucked along the coastal road, it comes with a poetic filter, exuding romance and charm.
Originally an idle old building, it has been transformed into a must-visit spot combining a café, light meals, and boutique accommodation, even winning the title of "Most Beautiful Public Cultural Space" in Shandong Province for 2024. The viewing platform boasts an unparalleled location, offering 270-degree unobstructed ocean views. Waves crash against the reefs, composing nature's symphony, while in the distance, Cat Head Mountain rests quietly on the sea. When mist swirls around, it feels like a fairyland.
Next to the platform is Yashang Café, featuring white oil-painted walls, a spiral staircase, and pure white arches—a perfect Instagrammable spot where every shot turns into an artistic masterpiece. In front of the "I Love Weihai So Much" photo wall, visitors capture romantic moments with the city. Walking down the colorful steps brings you closer to the sea, where you can feel the ocean breeze caress your face and breathe in the salty air.
During the day, sip a cup of coffee while gazing at the azure sea outside the window, enjoying a leisurely afternoon. At night, fall asleep to the sound of waves, cradled by the starry sky and ocean, dreaming of Weihai's gentle embrace.
