Weihai Travel Guide

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···...
