| Break into this dreamy seaside town at 37° north latitude. My dears 👋, today I am here to share with you the beautiful trip to Weihai 🎉! Weihai, a small coastal city in Shandong, is like a lost pearl, exuding charming charm🤩.
🏖Seaside scenery:
The sea in Weihai is absolutely stunning! You must go to the Xianghai Diamond Beach. The sand is as fine as powder, the sea water is crystal clear, and from a distance, the sea and the sky are connected, as beautiful as a picture scroll 🖼️. In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the beach, and the entire beach is dyed golden. Walking on it and feeling the gentle caress of the sea breeze is so comfortable.
The Jinshiwan Art Park is also very distinctive, with seaweed houses scattered along the beach, full of the charm of traditional Jiaodong architecture. Here, you can take photos and check in, and any photo you take will look like a blockbuster movie📸. Moreover, there are relatively few tourists here, allowing you to enjoy the peaceful seaside time.
🏘Humanistic check-in: Weihai has a rich historical and cultural heritage. Liugong Island is the birthplace of China's first modern navy, the Beiyang Fleet, and is also the ancient battlefield of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Going to Liugong Island and visiting the Sino-Japanese War Museum will allow you to deeply feel that magnificent history and enhance your national pride💪.
There is also Chengshantou, which is known as the "end of the sky" and is the easternmost point where China's land and sea meet. Standing on the top of Chengshan Mountain and looking at the endless sea, it seems that you can touch the vicissitudes of history. The sunrise here is very spectacular. Many people come here specifically to watch the sunrise and feel the shocking moment🌄.
🍜Food feast:
Weihai has many delicious foods, and seafood is definitely the highlight! There are a wide variety of fresh seafood, including crabs, shrimps, shellfish, etc., with various cooking methods, such as steaming, stir-frying, and making soup. Each one can let you taste the deliciousness of the sea😋. You must also try Weihai's special Spanish mackerel dumplings. The dumpling skin is chewy and the filling is tender and juicy. It's super satisfying to take a bite👍.
In addition to seafood, Weihai's noodles are also very good, such as the gangzitou fire-baked bread, which has a crispy outer skin and a soft inner filling, and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it. There are also various Jiaodong-style pastries with a delicate taste, sweet but not greasy, which are definitely worth a try🥧.
🎈Other good places to go:
Xiaoshi Island is a good place to go fishing. When the tide is low, bring a small bucket and a shovel to go fishing to catch small crabs and clams and experience the joy of harvest. If you are lucky, you can also pick up beautiful shells😆.
Xixiakou Shendiaoshan Wildlife World is also suitable for parent-child visits. There are many kinds of animals here, and many of them are fed to be round and super cute. You can observe the living conditions of animals up close, allowing children to get close to nature and increase their knowledge🐾.
🎈Tips:
● Transportation in Weihai is relatively convenient, and you can choose to take a taxi or bus. If you want to go to the surrounding scenic spots, it is recommended to rent a car and drive yourself, which is more free and convenient🚗.
●You can choose to stay by the sea, where you can enjoy the beautiful sea view and travel conveniently. Remember to book a hotel in advance during peak season🏨.
●The climate in Weihai is changeable. Please check the weather forecast before traveling and bring appropriate clothing. Take precautions against the sun in summer and keep warm in winter.
