Just returned from my late June trip to Weihai! I really don't recommend going these two months... because...

Because it's too beautiful!!! Weihai, this charming coastal city, with its relaxed pace of life and endless azure sea, makes visitors reluctant to leave. If you only have three days to explore Weihai, follow this carefully planned itinerary to slow down and immerse yourself in the city's unique charm. Three-Day Two-Night Travel Route Day 1: Urban Coastal Scenery Tour Start your morning at Yuehai Park, where the red-and-white lighthouse stands quietly like a scene from a fairy tale, forming a stunning picture with the surrounding green grass and blue sea. Stroll along the coast and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. After leaving Yuehai Park, walk to Weihai Park, where the iconic giant picture frame is a must-visit spot. Stand in front of the frame to capture yourself with the sea in a beautiful moment. In the afternoon, head to Xinwei Fulu, a street full of artistic vibes with various specialty shops. Whether it's exquisite handicrafts or unique cultural products, they're all worth lingering over. In the evening, visit Xingfu Gate for a panoramic view of Weihai's cityscape and seascape. After nightfall, go to Haiyuan Park to admire the quiet fishing port under the night sky. Day 2: Coastal Attractions Exploration Start your morning at Jianggu Zui, a less crowded but scenic spot where you can enjoy private moments with the sea. Then visit Weihai Park, where the unique blend of mountains and sea creates a natural masterpiece. Next, head to Yuanyao Pier to see the docked fishing boats and experience the local fishing port atmosphere. In the afternoon, visit Huoju 8th Street, where the unique street perspective complements the sea, making every photo a vibe-filled masterpiece. End your day at International Bathing Beach, strolling on the fine sand and admiring the beautiful sunset. Day 3: Hidden Gems and Leisure Shopping Tour In the morning, visit Blueways, where gentle waves lap against a shipwreck and seagulls circle overhead, creating a dreamy movie-like scene. Then head to Xiaowudui Baohai Station, a peaceful and beautiful spot perfect for relaxation. In the afternoon, visit Naxianghai, with its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and exotic architecture that feels like a fairy tale world. In the evening, explore Hanlefang to experience the lively atmosphere and sample various local delicacies. Must-Visit Attractions in Weihai 1. Half Moon Bay: The beach here is soft and fine, with crystal-clear water. In the early morning, wait for the first rays of sunlight on the beach as the sunrise paints the sky and sea red; in the evening, watch the sunset as the golden light shimmers on the water, creating a romantic scene. There are also many unique B&Bs and cafes nearby where you can sit back, enjoy coffee, and take in the sea view. 2. Cat Head Mountain: Along the Coastal Road, the scenery of Cat Head Mountain is stunning. The unique mountain shape resembles a quietly resting cat. Multiple viewing platforms offer breathtaking views of the mountains and sea, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts. 3. Jiming Island: Take a ferry to this island, which retains its original fishing village charm. Stroll through the quaint village alleys to experience the simple fishing life, or watch seabirds by the shore for a close encounter with nature. 4. Coastal Road: You don’t need to seek out specific attractions—cycling or walking along the Coastal Road offers stunning views everywhere. The mountains and sea blend harmoniously, with different sections offering unique surprises, and every photo is a masterpiece. 5. Hailv Island: This is a paradise for seabirds, where thousands of seagulls nest. As you approach the island by boat, you’ll witness the spectacular sight of seagulls soaring and landing. You can also feed the seagulls from the boat for a fun interaction with the birds. 6. Liugong Island: As the birthplace of China's first modern navy, the Beiyang Fleet, Liugong Island has profound historical significance. The island features many historical relics and museums, such as the Sino-Japanese War Museum, where you can delve into this tumultuous period of history. The island's natural scenery is also beautiful, with lush trees and fresh air. Weihai Food Recommendations 1. Seafood Dumplings: Weihai's seafood dumplings are unique, with Spanish mackerel and cuttlefish dumplings being the most famous. Fresh fish paired with carefully seasoned fillings, wrapped in thin skins, burst with flavor in every bite. 2. Weihai Fried Noodles: Unlike regular fried noodles, Weihai's version includes various seafood and seasonal vegetables. The noodles are chewy, the seafood is fresh, and the unique sauce adds a rich, unforgettable flavor. 3. Fried Oysters: Fresh oyster meat is coated in batter and fried until golden and crispy. The crispy exterior and tender inside perfectly blend the oyster's freshness with the batter's aroma, making it a must-try snack. 4. Weihai Fish Pot with Cornbread: This is a signature fishing village dish. Fresh sea fish are stewed into a delicious broth, with cornbread baked on the pot's edge. The bread absorbs the fish's umami, while the fish remains tender, creating a unique combination. 5. Korean Cuisine: Influenced by Korean culture, Weihai has many authentic Korean restaurants. Korean BBQ features tender meat dipped in unique sauces and wrapped in lettuce for a rich texture; stone pot bibimbap is fragrant and balanced with various ingredients; kimchi soup and cold noodles are also worth trying. During these three days in Weihai, let’s leave the hustle and bustle behind and find inner peace and beauty between the mountains and sea, creating unforgettable travel memories.
