Weihai, perched at the easternmost edge of the Shandong Peninsula, is celebrated as one of China’s cleanest and most livable coastal cities. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, the city features remarkably clear skies, lush green hills, and a tranquil atmosphere. Its proximity to South Korea has subtly influenced its culture, lending it a unique international flair. The most prominent attraction is Liugong Island, located just off the coast, which serves as a poignant historical site detailing the First Sino-Japanese War. Back on the mainland, the Weihai International Bathing Beach is a favorite for sunbathers thanks to its soft sands. The local food scene is an absolute delight, offering incredibly fresh oysters alongside authentic Korean restaurants. Weihai is conveniently accessed by high-speed trains from Qingdao, Jinan, and Beijing, or via its own airport. The most favorable time to explore Weihai is during the summer months, from June to September, when the ocean breeze is great.
