A perfect summer getaway, bringing the fairytale scenery into life – stay at Sanmengji and never want to leave

Rongcheng, Weihai, the easternmost city of Shandong Peninsula. Before the summer vacation rush arrives, for a better experience of beach waves, sunsets, hot springs, feeding seagulls, and escaping the heat, I checked into the Sanmengji Sunset Harbor Resort Villas in Rongcheng, Weihai. The moment I entered the villa area of the hotel, I was stunned. It’s more aligned with Chinese aesthetics than Santorini and offers a richer experience than Jeju Island. The hotel’s overall palette features soft whites and light blues, paired with exquisite wooden decor, exuding freshness and romance everywhere. I booked a sea-view room. Opening the balcony door revealed a vast expanse of blue ocean. Standing on the balcony, the breeze gently brushed my face with a cool touch. Sitting on the oversized wooden swing chair, I watched seagulls circling in the sky, occasionally letting out loud cries. In the afternoon, sunlight ☀️ streamed onto the balcony’s hot spring pool. Soaking in the warm water while sipping afternoon tea and admiring the sunset was pure bliss. Waves crashed rhythmically against the shore, creating a soothing "whooshing" sound like a lullaby, instantly relaxing me and curing my insomnia. 📸 About hotel photography: The hotel offers 3 complimentary travel photos (worth ¥199).

Dining with an endless ocean view feels like sitting in a white room, enjoying delicious food while watching the wind and waves against a canvas of Klein blue, with seagulls and fishing boats drifting by. 🏨 Hotel activities: 👙 The hotel has an outdoor pool, perfect for sisters 👭 who love swimming to host pool parties. 📸 Every villa has photogenic spots: hot spring pools, swing chairs, white staircases, the pool, restaurant, café, children’s playground, beach, pier, starry sky, and more. 🏞️ Nearby attractions: The hotel is 2.3 km from Chengshantou, 5.4 km from Hailv Island, and 6.4 km from Xixiakou.
