Who says you have to go to Sanya to see the sea?
Spend 3 days and 2 nights, less than 2,400 RMB per person,
I’m in Weihai—
staying in a guesthouse with a sea view right outside the window,
riding a little electric scooter to catch the sunrise,
squatting on the tidal flats picking crabs,
and enjoying a seafood feast for only 80 RMB per person!

There are no crowded internet-famous spots here,
only the slow, yawn-inducing pace of this coastal small town,
and a relaxed feeling of “life should be like this.”

👉 Get up early to check in at [Torch 8th Street] “Little Kamakura” intersection, before 9 AM when it’s least crowded!
Rent a double electric scooter (30 RMB/day) and start cycling along the [Coastal Road]:
Starting from Weihai Park, passing Haiyuan Park, Grape Beach, Yuanyao Pier,
with coconut trees, reefs, blue sea, and sky all along the way—every snap looks like a movie scene!
In the afternoon after the tide recedes, rush to [International Seawater Bathing Beach] for clam digging:
Small bucket + small shovel (20 RMB for a set),

kids can play for 3 hours without looking up!

Day 3: Explore Liugong Island → Return trip (¥180)
👉 Take the ferry to [Liugong Island] (ticket + scenic area combo 132 RMB)
Don’t just visit the First Sino-Japanese War Memorial Museum,
go to the east side of the island to the [Whale Museum] to see the sperm whale specimen,
then rent a sightseeing car (20 RMB) to circle the island,
beaches, pine forests, lighthouse—it feels like stepping into an old movie.
Finish before 3 PM and return easily.

💡 Practical Tips:
1️⃣ Check the “tide table” before clam digging! The best time is 1 hour before low tide. Recommended: “Tide Table Elf” mini program;
2️⃣ Bring sun sleeves and sunglasses for cycling, the UV rays by the sea are “deadly but invisible”;
3️⃣ Don’t rush to cook seafood at the market, weigh and count first to avoid being cheated!

During these 3 days in Weihai,
I learned to “waste time”:
daydreaming, listening to the waves, picking shells, watching fishing boats return to port.
It’s not dazzling, but addictive—
like a glass of ice-cold draft beer,
one sip,
summer comes alive.

If you’re tired of check-in style tourism,
come to Weihai,
and spend two and a half days
turning life into a slow poem.
