All day
The first day is the full day of the Weihai gathering. Tourists from all regions will gather at their designated hotels in Weihai according to their own schedule. After checking in, please report your "China-Travel Note + Name" to the hotel front desk. You will then be free at leisure. Please exercise due caution during this free time.
Hotels are generally open for check-in after 12 noon. Here are some recommended dining tips:
Tourists who love gourmet food can go to Jinliwei to taste authentic Korean food, Dajingyuan to enjoy seafood barbecue, and for dinner, they can go to Dongcheng Road Night Market to experience the fireworks of the coastal city.
For a more personal stroll, head to Weihai's landmark Happiness Park, known as the "Gateway to Weihai." This landmark also marks the starting point of Weihai's 1,000-kilometer coastline. It's a must-visit for Weihai residents on weekends and to cool off after dinner. As one of Weihai's landmark parks, Happiness Gate stands silently, observing the leisurely and comfortable lives of Weihai residents and bearing witness to the city's transformation. When visiting Weihai, head to the seaside Happiness Park to experience the relaxing nightlife of this coastal city.
Day 2 Hotel → Jiming Island → Naxiang Sea → Hotel
·morning
After breakfast, we'll drive to Jiming Island, where we'll board a boat and arrive at the island, which boasts nearly 400 years of history. The island, approximately 0.31 square kilometers in size, is named for its rooster-like shape. Due to the nationwide popularity of the TV show "Where Are We Going, Dad?", Jiming Island is popular from May to October. On Jiming Island, listen to the ebb and flow of the ocean, sleep amidst the serene mountains and drifting clouds, and immerse yourself in the tranquil, slow-paced life of an island paradise. Check in at your own leisure. Lunch is free to enjoy on the island.
·afternoon
In the afternoon, depart the island by boat at the appropriate time based on your return trip, and head to the Naxianghai Scenic Area, known as the "Hawaii of the East." The coast, home to the Diamond Beach Bathing Area, is known as the Treasure Beach. It boasts a long, crescent-shaped yellow pebble beach and many artistically designed buildings, making it a popular photogenic spot. The waters here are clear, the sand is vast, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a free place to enjoy the ocean, with few crowds! Enjoy a drink and a romantic evening, including the sunset.
Return to the city hotel in time to check in. For dinner, we recommend trying Korean BBQ!
Day 3 Hotel → Liugong Island → Maotou Mountain → International Bathing Beach → Transfer to the station
All day
After breakfast at 8:00 AM, board a boat to the Liugong Island Scenic Area, known as the "unsinkable battleship," to explore the turmoil of the First Sino-Japanese War and immerse yourself in a magical maritime wonderland. Visit the First Sino-Japanese War Museum, themed around the Beiyang Navy and the First Sino-Japanese War, the Liugong Island Expo Park, and admire the Wanghai Tower from afar. Then, visit the Whale Museum for a photo with a 50-ton sperm whale.
You can have lunch on the island or go back to the city to find something to eat
After lunch, we returned to the hotel for a nap and prepared for the afternoon beach fun.
·afternoon
In the afternoon, we will go to Weihai International Bathing Beach and check in at Maotou Mountain. The seaside road is a must-see route for viewing the scenery, and the endless scenery of the seaside road is all at Maotou Mountain.
After checking in, we arrived at Torch 8th Street, another popular check-in spot. Located west of the Weihai High-Tech Zone Management Committee, Torch 8th Street connects to Wenhua West Road in the south and the bathing beach in the north, forming a T-junction with Huanhai Road at its end. Driving from south to north, the first half of the journey is uneventful, but turning at the top of the slope, the scenery suddenly opens up. The clear sea in the distance rises like a blue curtain, towering above the rooftops. As we descend, the curtain slowly descends, revealing the boundless expanse of the sea, like a hidden gem at the end of the road.
Finally, we arrived at Weihai International Bathing Beach. Weihai, a livable city, boasts an impressively clear water. Enjoy the water activities, including speedboats, cruise ships, and motorboats. You can also play games on the beach, which stretches for 20 kilometers and boasts fine, soft sand, making it one of the best beaches in northern China.
We will drop you off at the appropriate station (Weihai High-Speed Railway Station or a designated location in the city) and conclude your wonderful time in Weihai. (The specific location and time can be discussed with the driver in advance.)
