| Weihai Rongcheng. If I were given a day I will choose to start from Qingdao and go to Rongcheng Reasons for choosing this city Because I haven't seen the Bruce shipwreck, hahahaha I only visited two places in Rongcheng in one day. One is the Jiming Island in the Xianghai The other is the Bruce that I have been thinking about for a long time. ▫️ You need a boat ticket to enter Xianghai Jiming Island So friends who go before must prepare tickets in advance You can book tickets directly at Little Dolphin There is a timeline for entering the island and returning Also pay attention to the time and don't overdo it. Jiming Island is really really a super film There is a wedding chapel dedicated to Tadao Ando A lonely castle with a great sense of design There are even magnificent islands and reefs that are not inferior to those abroad. Of course, the beautiful villas built everywhere are also very photogenic. Probably because of the cool weather and few tourists When I went there, the coffee shops were all closed. It's not hard to imagine what a lively scene it would be if you went there in summer. You can bring some bread and sausages on the way back and forth by boat. Flocks of seagulls will fly behind the boat to beg for food ▫️ There is nothing much to write about Bruce, those who understand will understand A large ship anchored on a shallow beach Here is a suggestion When taking photos, pay attention to where you are standing Don't have any reefs or garbage, otherwise the photos will look average. If you are lucky, there are seagulls flying around begging for food when taking photos. The photos are definitely a plus. ▫️ Summary and Analysis ❗Because Jiming Island, Bruce and other famous attractions are far away from Rongcheng High-speed Railway Station, I suggest that if you go there, you should either drive yourself or rent a taxi, otherwise you will waste time on the road and it will be very uncomfortable~ ❗The beach of Bruce is full of photographers, almost one for every two steps; maybe because I am a boy carrying a camera, no one came to me; if friends who go out to play want to take photos, you must confirm the price and the number of photo styles with them. After all, you are traveling and they are earning money. It is not easy to go out for fun, and you all want each other to be happy, so don't make things difficult for each other. ▫️ I only felt these two places in a day. Because time is on the road So I didn’t write about other interesting attractions. Because I really can't make it. Hahahaha I hope you guys will like it

Bought a boat ticket and boarded the island early in the morning, starting the 'Jiming Island' trekking mode! Known as a gem of nature, Jiming Island attracts countless tourists to explore its magnificent landscape. Although it is the smallest island in Shandong, the treasure island has several popular tourist spots (award-winning architecture). From the moment you board the passenger ship, the journey to Jiming Island is a novel experience. The sea and the sky are the same color, which is refreshing, and what is even more surprising is the seagulls that follow the ship all the way, but there are not many seagulls here and they do not eat food. Even so, it is a good experience to watch the rolling waves and circling seagulls while blowing the sea breeze. Upon landing on Jiming Island, the first thing that catches your eye is the blue sea and sky. The blue sea water shines under the sunlight, reflecting the sky. The beach is soft and delicate, as if inviting people to walk barefoot and feel the breeze. The reefs and rocks along the coast form a spectacular coastline, and each rock carries the traces of time, as if telling an ancient story. After landing on the island, follow the clockwise tour, go up the hill along the ramp from the dock, first visit the 'Cliff Library', and then the 'Cliff Church', 'Cliff Cafe', etc.

Where: Weihai, Shandong, China 山东威海 When: September 2020 If you are looking for peaceful beach with soft and golden sand then this location is an excellent choice. It’s not expensive like other famous beaches. There are some bars at the beach for active nightlife. Water was a little bit cold at the end of September. If you plan to go, consider going there in Summer or early September #beachlife

A place where you can feel the scale of the continent without any hesitation.. A unique zoo where you can feed almost all the animals on the scale of a small mountain.. This place once appeared on the news for throwing a whole live sheep or cow into a carnivore pen. This place is especially famous for being located next to the sea.. The sight of them raising marine life by confining seawater is almost like a cage fish farm. Once you enter this huge zoo, there is only one way to the exit, so you have to go straight because it is difficult to turn back.. You need some stamina, so sneakers are a must.. You can see animals that are much more lively than those in other zoos that are usually lined up, and you can even touch the gentle animals. It is recommended for tourists visiting Weihai. #China #Travel #Weihai #Xixiakou #Wildlife Park #Weihai Travel

You can think of the time in Weihai by boat, blowing, feeding the seagulls! Starting from Chengshantou, there is a beautiful island 2 miles away. There are tens of thousands of black-tailed gulls and yellow-billed egrets on the island. Here is Haitang Island, which is also known as the Gull Heron Kingdom. Haicang Island has been eroded by thousands of years of indefatigable waves, and it is a dangerous mountain. It is a unique island scenery with the rising tide, the waves of the sky, and the elves like the elves. ......

The memory of Weihai is still in the student period, the ambiguous tourism, and the rushing Weihai, in addition to the bright sun, the blue coastline and the green photos under the needles of the green pine needles, can no longer recall the side. That was the first time I went out to see the sea with my mother. It was also my first time with bare feet and excitement to greet waves of cold waves, intimately drowning my feet and never having an ankle! I was playing and playing in the night of the dinner. Some of the screaming voices got into my mother's arms, and some of them were taken away by the waves and drifted to the other side of the Bohai Bay... I like the sea It is vast and inclusive; it is also mighty, engulfing everything... Now meet again, the sunset of Xixiakou will give permanent memories, gentle, gorgeous...

Haitang Island is located in the northern waters of Chengshantou, Weihai, Shandong Province. It looks out across the sea. The cliffs are steep and the flowers are clustered. A group of seagulls circulate over them. The whole island looks like a thin squat in the sea, so it is named Haitang Island. Due to the large number of seagulls on the island, and the locals claim that the seagulls are sea cats, Haitang Island is also known as Sea Cat Island. Haicang Island has Crescent Bay, Pingba Stone, Tourist Bird Watching Station, Diaoyutai, Chuanshan Tunnel, Panshan Trail, Tingtaoxuan and other attractions. Every spring and autumn, tens of thousands of black-tailed gulls migrated from Haitang Island, where they hatch and brood on the island to create a splendid spectacle.

Weihai is where history and culture intertwine. Stepping onto Liugong Island feels like traveling back in time to the tumultuous era of the Sino-Japanese War, where every blade of grass and tree tells the story of the Chinese nation's resilience and perseverance. As the birthplace of the Quanzhen School of Taoism, Kunyu Mountain bears witness to the legends of Wang Chongyang, Qiu Chuji, and others who practiced here, with profound cultural heritage deeply rooted in this land. The natural scenery of Weihai is utterly enchanting. Azure seas, blue skies, and golden beaches form the city's fundamental palette. The International Bathing Beach, with its fine sand and crystal-clear waters, is a rare high-quality coastal resort in northern China, where you can fully enjoy the comfort of sun and sand, feeling the gentle caress of the waves. Driving along the Thousand-Mile Mountain and Sea Tourist Highway, you'll encounter breathtaking views at every turn: the dreamy beaches of Naxianghai resemble a fairy-tale world; the unique terrain of Maotou Mountain leaves visitors in awe; and the mysterious wreck of the Blue Whale, like a colossal ship emerging from the depths, adds an air of intrigue to these waters. Weihai's islands are like scattered pearls. Hailu Island, with its rugged rocks, serves as a sanctuary for seabirds, where thousands of gulls soar, creating a spectacular sight. Jiming Island gained fame through the filming of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and offers a tranquil escape with its rich fishing village charm, allowing you to leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city and savor moments of peace and beauty. Weihai is also a paradise for food lovers. As the "Seafood Capital of China," it boasts a vast variety of premium seafood. When the fishing season arrives, over 3,000 types of seafood grace the dining tables—swimming crabs, mantis shrimp, octopus, and more—each bite bursting with the freshness of the ocean. Particularly noteworthy are Rushan's oysters, plump, tender, and juicy, whether steamed, grilled, or made into soup, they leave an unforgettable taste. Beyond seafood, Weihai's specialty noodles are not to be missed: Jiaodong Huabobo pastries are exquisitely shaped and sweet in flavor, while seaweed buns are savory and delicious, brimming with homely comfort. Accommodation options in Weihai are plentiful. You can choose star-rated hotels for high-quality service and comfort, or stay in unique homestays to experience local customs. Seaside homestays nestled between mountains and the ocean allow you to wake to the sound of waves in the morning and fall asleep to the sea breeze at night, immersing yourself in the purest coastal life. Additionally, Weihai offers a rich array of cultural activities and entertainment.

This time, I hired a private car with a photographer to explore Weihai and visited numerous attractions. I even managed to capture the breathtaking sight of the Blue Weiss shipwreck! Let me share the itinerary with you—it’s highly recommended to either rent a car or hire a private driver when visiting Weihai. The distances between attractions are quite far, and having a local driver is a huge advantage. They know the best times to visit each spot based on the changing tides and lighting conditions. Since it was too early to photograph the shipwreck, we started the day by strolling around Naxianghai. Then, we headed to Yaming Island before finally capturing the shipwreck. As our hotel was located in the city center, we spent the afternoon exploring urban attractions, including Haiming Park, Yuanyao Pier, and Happiness Gate, before returning to the hotel. On the second day, I visited Liugong Island on my own. There are still so many places I haven’t had the chance to explore yet! Weihai truly is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to come back!
