Weihai Travel Guide
Weihai is a beautiful coastal garden city located at the eastern tip of the Shandong Peninsula. Known for its picturesque streets lined with blooming flowers and shaded by trees, Weihai offers a tranquil and clean environment, making it one of the most livable cities in China. The city’s geographical setting, nestled between mountains and the sea, blesses it with an extensive coastline where the sea breeze rustles through pine forests. Weihai holds a significant place in Chinese history as the “unsinkable battleship” due to its role in the First Sino-Japanese War. Its long-standing trade relations with South Korea have infused the city with an international Korean flair.
Weihai is a haven for those seeking beachside relaxation, delicious seafood, and trendy Korean fashion, capturing the essence of a perfect vacation, culinary delight, and shopping paradise. The city enjoys a mild climate, with warm summers and mild winters, making it a year-round tourist destination. However, summer is the best time to visit, as you can swim and play in the sea. If you visit during winter, you can witness the spectacular sight of thousands of swans wintering in Chengshan Town or Yandunjiao.

The Haiyuan Park in Weihai after the snowfall looks like it has been enchanted by nature, breathtakingly beautiful. On the sea, small boats are quietly anchored, each inch covered in snow, resembling mysterious arks that have sailed in from a distant land, straight out of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.
Weihai is truly beautiful. The weather today is particularly nice — very warm, with gentle winds — it’s so comfortable that I’m at a loss for words.

I almost froze to death in Weihai. The wind was so strong and there were so many people. It felt like the wind could just carry us away!
Although the sunshine was great, the sky was hazy and the sea wasn’t as blue. Today I walked twenty thousand steps, starting from Haiyuan Park all the way to Moon Bay, Jianggu Jiao, and Cat Head Mountain. I originally wanted to see the sunset, but today’s weather was not pleasant.
The taxi prices in Weihai are too high. From Weihai Station to Huoju Eight Street, it’s approximately 20 kilometers according to Gaode Navigation. On the way there, a Didi ride cost me over thirty yuan, but taking a taxi back charged me over fifty. I checked the official pricing standards, and the charges were indeed correct, but they are definitely expensive.
Weihai is a clean and tidy city, facing the sea with a gentle summer breeze. The best food here is seafood, and it’s incredibly satisfying to enjoy a large plate of it.
