Weihai locals won't tell you about these secret cycling spots along the coastal road

10 km cycling guide for beginners
Sisters! I just unlocked a fantastic way to cycle along the Weihai Coastal Road. The sea breeze, beaches, and cliffside roads are so beautiful that I was lost for words! Here’s a detailed route + secret photo spots + a guide to relaxing in the city center ⬇️

🚴♀️ [Cycling Route Guide]
1️⃣ Weigao Plaza → Half Moon Bay (approx. 3 km)
- Beginner-friendly section! Cycle along the coastal path with the blue sea on the left and European-style buildings on the right. Stop at Haiyuan Park along the way. The fishing boats and wooden boardwalk are super photogenic.
- ✨Hidden trick: Depart at 6 am and cycle to Half Moon Bay to catch the sunrise (remember to rent a bike in advance!)

2️⃣ Half Moon Bay → Cat Head Mountain (approx. 2 km)
- Prime section! Cliffside road + 270° sea view. Stop at Viewing Platform No. 2 (take wide-angle shots of the cliffside waves)
- ⚠️ Note: You may need to push your bike on some steep slopes. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes.

3️⃣ Cat Head Mountain → International Bathing Beach (approx. 5 km)
- Easy downhill section! Pass Grape Beach and Golden Beach. Stop to play in the water at any time. End at Torch 8th Street to take Japanese-style highway photos.

📸 [Popular Photo Spots]
✅ Torch 8th Street Slope: Arrive before 7 am! Wear a light-colored long dress to capture "the end of the road is the sea"
✅ Cat Head Mountain Viewing Platform No. 2: Stand on the cliffside wooden boardwalk for a full cinematic effect
✅ Half Moon Bay Sunrise: Backlit silhouette with an orange-red sky (lower the exposure on your phone)
✅ Xiaoshidao Reef Area: Capture the atmosphere of catching the sea during low tide (borrow fishing net props for a more vivid effect)

🍔 [Must-Eat Food After Cycling]
🔥 Dongcheng Road Night Market: A 10-minute walk straight after cycling! Highly recommend Lao Gu Bei Wonton + Henry BBQ lamb skewers (amazing with Weihai spicy sauce)
🐟 Chocolate Fisherman: Steamed seafood pot heals the stomach after a sweaty workout!

**💡Tips**
① It is safer to rent a car from the hotel front desk. Electric bikes are CNY 50/day (can be returned in a different location)
② Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The ultraviolet rays on the beach are super strong (physical sunscreen is the best)
③ Newbies are advised to cycle in sections and use public transportation for easier transfers~
