Weihai Travel Must-See: This Weihai travel guide shares the essentials after having visited all the attractions in the three cities and one district, and having tasted all the delicious food in Weihai's urban area. I've compiled a simple guide for your reference. Personally, I think Weihai is the city with the most Nordic temperament and petty bourgeois sentiment in China, and I would like to call it 'China's Copenhagen'. Weihai is not a very large city overall. The urban area is laid out along the coast, with the area near Huan Cui Building and the northern part being the relatively old city area (Gao District), and the southeastern part being the relatively new city area (Economic District). In addition, although Wendeng District is also named after a district, in a strict sense, it is very far from the central urban area, just like Daxing District in Beijing. Be careful not to book a hotel in Wendeng by mistake (unless you really want to go there to play). I personally recommend hotels located in Gao District, with good locations near Oulu Square, near the seaside bathing beach, and near Huan Cui Building. 😄 Weihai is a very rare city suitable for tourism in all four seasons. I personally really like the winter in Weihai, especially if you can go to Tangbo/Tianmu Hot Springs for an outdoor bath, feeling the snowflakes falling and the contrast of ice and fire, that would be wonderful. Weihai is also a city that can be toured in one day or over a week, with attractions and strategies depending on your time arrangement. If you're looking for a quick tour of one or two days, the city's Happiness Gate + Coastal Avenue all the way to the Economic District, plus the seaside bathing beach/Torch Eight Streets are enough to cover. If you're planning a week-long in-depth tour, some less popular but scenic spots that rival the beauty of Northern Europe can be explored slowly. I recommend places like Banmoon Bay and the northern coastal road, Shuangdao Bay, Likou Mountain, Huafa Xintiandi, and so on, where you can wander around and take beautiful photos. At the same time, since Yantai and Weihai are very close, you can also plan a trip to Yantai. Weihai's cuisine also has very distinctive regional features, starting with seafood, be sure not to miss the special hairtail dumplings and seaweed buns! Some dishes that Weihai people like to eat include garlic-braised sea anemones, chives fried sea intestines, scallion-blasted sea cucumbers, oil-braised prawns, braised swan eggs, and other traditional Shandong cuisine. In addition, Weihai has one of the largest Korean populations in the country! Weihai's seaside has a romantic sunken ship with a great atmosphere. You wouldn't know how beautiful and stunning it is until you see it with your own eyes, just like a scene from a movie. Whether it's sunny or cloudy, there's a different kind of beauty. We went there last December, and it happened to be the 15th day of the lunar month. Thinking of capturing the sunset, the sky was very beautiful that day, and we were very happy taking pictures of the evening glow. When we turned around, the moon came out. It turns out that this was the highlight of the trip, the romance was in that unexpected moment. The Bruvis No. 9 sunken ship, which was stranded due to a typhoon, probably the shipowner never expected it to become a landscape, right? It just stands there interpreting loneliness and romance. No matter the sunrise, sunset, or the tide. The seaside in winter is romantic, of course, as long as there is no wind, it's fine. If you come to Weihai and don't know where to start playing? Why not take a look at my collection, I've organized 9 great spots in Weihai suitable for winter: Bruvis No. 9 sunken ship, Yandunjiao, Weihai Park, Yuehai Park, Beishan Road, Jinhaiwan Pier, Torch Eight Streets, Cat Head Mountain Viewing Platform, Xiaoshi Island···...

🚗 Transportation Tips: We rented a car from Yantai and drove there, which took less than 2 hours. Although it's not a highway🛣️, the road conditions are very good, and you can buy Yantai apples🍎 along the way, which made the trip very smooth. Make sure to protect yourself from the sun, as the UV rays are strong. 🛏 Hotel Information: Hotels near Hanlefang or Weihai Station are convenient, as taxis are readily available. 🌟 Must-visit Local Attractions: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mao Tou Mountain⛰️ It's recommended to drive or ride an electric scooter up the mountain. The scenic spots along the way are so beautiful that you won't want to leave, the kind that doesn't need any filters to look stunning. It's suggested to spend half a day there. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Big Picture Frame A landmark building and a coastal park with nice scenery. It's very popular for photo ops, and there's free parking available across the road🅿️. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yuehai Park Good for both day and night visits, as it's by the sea and has a lighthouse. It's great for walking🚶🏻‍♀️ or running🏃🏻‍♀️, with a high comfort level. ⭐⭐ Happiness Gate A must-visit for tour groups, it's an average coastal park. There's a charge for going up the tower, but it's still good for taking photos. Parking is not free. ⭐⭐⭐ Liugong Mountain Optional visit, requires an admission ticket. 🍽 Food Tips: Please be sure to try Korean cuisine or Korean barbecue. There are many options in Hanlefang, and I personally recommend Han Xiang Fu, an established restaurant with good service and taste. 💗 Travel Impressions: The cost of living is slightly higher than in Yantai, but much cheaper than in Qingdao. 📌 Little Tips: The color of the sea is related to the weather, so be sure to choose a good day for your visit.

The winter in Weihai is really not cold, the sea breeze is gentle, and it feels comfortable on the body. For the first time I saw the sea, the shock in my heart was indescribable, I just remember that I said a lot of 'wow' every time I saw the scenery. Weihai Happiness Gate 'Facing the sea, spring is blooming' On the way by car, I saw the huge Happiness Gate, I couldn't suppress the excitement, and ran to check in quickly, so I saw the first sea in my life, the blue of the sea Reflecting the sky, it's really beautiful, feeding seagulls, blowing the sea breeze, I think I was really free at that time. Torch Eight Street I think it can be described as 'people are coming and going, but they are also free.' Looking from the street. The sea is another look, the wind brings its surging waves, and there are constantly waves hitting the beach, the traces left on the beach disappear in a flash, but the smile at this moment will remember for a long time. Xiaoshidao Fishing and Sea Catching Park You must watch the sunset by the sea with your favorite person! This is a beautiful memory of the sea.
