Itinerary Day 1: First experience of the literary seaside - Morning: Go to Huoju 8th Street, known as the Weihai version of "Little Kamakura". Colorful houses are scattered in an orderly manner, and a sloping road leads directly to the sea, giving you a full sense of anime. Arrive before 7 in the morning, the sunlight is soft, and there are few people, so any photo you take will be a stunning blockbuster. Choose a light-colored skirt and hold a cup of coffee as a prop to create a refreshing look. - Noon: Move to the International Bathing Beach, where the sand is as fine as flour and the sea water is clear and transparent. When you are tired of playing, go to a nearby seafood restaurant and have a plate of spicy fried clams. The delicious clam meat is paired with the spicy sauce, which is super satisfying after one bite. Then try the Spanish mackerel dumplings, which have thin skin and large fillings, and the delicious soup is full of the taste of the sea. - Afternoon: Have fun at the International Bathing Beach, a paradise for water sports. You can drive a motorboat across the sea and feel the speed and passion; you can also take a sailboat and enjoy a leisurely time in the sea breeze. - Evening: Go to Little Rock Island, find a window seat at Soul Coffee, order a cup of fragrant latte, and wait for the sunset like an orange sea. When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the rocks, the silhouette photos taken are full of atmosphere. Day 2: Exploring the Mountain and Sea Scenery - Morning: Go to Maotou Mountain and navigate to the "No. 2 Observation Deck". The wooden plank road on the cliff here is an excellent viewing spot. Looking down, the cat-head-shaped mountain is lifelike, and the waves keep hitting the rocks on the shore, splashing layers of white waves, as if you have walked into the world of animation. Rent an electric bike and ride along the coastal road. The sea breeze whistles in your ears and the sea view unfolds before your eyes. It is free and easy. - Noon: Come to Haiyuan Park and walk into the World War I Chinese Laborers Memorial Hall. The industrial-style architecture and the heavy sense of history are perfectly integrated, making it a great place to take blockbuster photos. There are many colorful fishing boats moored on the shore, like an overturned paint tray. When the tide is out, you can still go fishing here. If you are lucky, you can dig up small crabs and clams. - Afternoon: Stepping into Huancui Tower, you will see red walls and green trees complementing each other, creating a strong ancient atmosphere. Climbing to the top of the building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Weihai city. The sea and the city in the distance complement each other, which is a beautiful sight. - Evening: Go to Dongcheng Road Night Market and start a food carnival. Have a serving of grilled cold noodles, with rich side dishes wrapped in chewy dough and brushed with a unique sauce that’s fragrant; have another skewer of grilled squid, with the fresh and tender squid tentacles sizzling on the charcoal fire, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, the taste is absolutely delicious. Day 3: Niche Art Tour - Morning: Arrive at Naxianghai, where the diamond-like beach sparkles in the sun. The Lonely Cafe by the sea is a photo-taking sanctuary, and any photo you take will have an Instagram-worthy feel. Order a cup of coffee, sit by the window, look at the sea outside the window, and enjoy this moment of tranquility. - Noon: Check in at the Bruvis. This stranded ship is full of stories. Its broken beauty makes people feel like they are in a movie scene. It is very photogenic. - Afternoon: Walking into the Jinshiwan Art Park, the thatched houses by the sea seem to be moved out of a fairy tale world, just like the scenes in Hayao Miyazaki's animations.

Weihai Dongcheng Road Night Market stretches 416 meters long. As early as the 1990s, it had already begun to take shape and was once the most bustling place in Weihai, carrying the taste memories of generations of Weihai people. On April 26 this year, the newly renovated and upgraded Dongcheng Road Night Market made a stunning reappearance. The previously chaotic and disordered stalls have been replaced by more than 80 neatly arranged and uniformly sized food trucks and over 90 flower carts. Fourteen dazzling street lamps, 27 brand-new tree benches, newly paved sidewalks, and electric vehicle parking spots are among the series of changes that bring a more convenient experience to tourists and citizens. Each stall has a dedicated food safety information display card QR code and a complaint card QR code, which not only facilitates supervision and management but also allows citizens and tourists to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the merchants' health certificates, additives, commitment letters, and supervision records, thus enabling them to enjoy the night market more safely and confidently.
