| 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.

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

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...

Hailu Island: You can see tons of seagulls even without going to the island. It's like a white ocean, and the photos you take will be amazing! I recommend arriving by 8am to reduce your queuing time. Jiming Island: This is where "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was filmed. The scenery is beautiful, and you'll need to take a boat to get there, so try to set off early. Motianling Sea-Crossing Cableway: Experience the feeling of traveling through the clouds. I recommend taking the northern loop 🚠. It's greatly affected by the weather, so it's best to check the conditions before you go. Na Xianghai: This is a great place to watch the sunrise and sunset. The sand is fine and the seawater is clear. Although the seawater is a bit cold in May and you can't swim in the sea, it's still very pleasant to stroll along the beach. Baihe Bay: You can go clamming for razor clams and dig in the sand. There's also a lighthouse and a Ferris wheel, which make for amazing photos 🎡 Ocean Ranch: I recommend Sangou Bay Ocean Ranch and Allen Bay Ocean Ranch. You can take a boat out to sea, catch seafood, and feed the seagulls. You can also eat the seafood you cook yourself, which is so fresh it'll knock your socks off! 🥘 Recommended Food Seaweed Buns: This is a local specialty that you definitely have to try. The deliciousness of the seaweed and the wheat aroma of the flour blend together perfectly. Spanish Mackerel Dumplings: They're large and filled with lots of filling. Take a bite and you'll taste the fish, which is incredibly fresh. Seafood Platter: All kinds of seafood are gathered together, so you can eat your fill in one go. Remember to pair it with some vinegar and mustard to cut through the richness and enhance the flavor. ❗ Important Information 1. Book your attraction tickets and accommodation in advance. There are many tourists during the May Day holiday, so you should do this to avoid delaying your trip. 2. Pay attention to the tide times when you go clamming, otherwise you may end up wasting your time. 3. Be careful when playing by the sea, keep an eye on your personal belongings, and don't let them be swept away by the waves~ Rongcheng is truly a place that you'll want to visit again and again, so hurry up and plan your trip! 💖

After visiting Weihai, I discovered that April brings piercing sea winds! 🌬️ While daytime sunshine is nice 🌞, the coastal breeze drastically drops the temperature. Without thick outerwear and windproof clothing, you'll freeze in minutes. Plus, attractions are scattered along the coastline, and without proper transportation planning, you'll waste half your time in transit! Thankfully, I planned ahead - here's my essential guide 👇! Getting to Weihai 🚇 ✈️ Weihai Dashuibo International Airport: Some cities offer direct flights. Airport buses 🚌 go to downtown and attractions, or taxis 🚕 take about 40 minutes to downtown. If no direct flights are available, fly to Qingdao Jiaodong Airport first, then take high-speed rail 🚄 to reach Weihai in about 1 hour. 🚄 Weihai Station/Weihai North Station: Weihai Station is close to Hanle Square and Marine Park; Weihai North Station is more convenient for Torch Eighth Street and International Beach. After arrival, choose public transit or taxis. I recommend renting electric scooters 🛵 for free coastal riding! Accommodation Recommendations 🏠 • Huancui District: Downtown area 📍! Surrounded by malls and restaurants with plenty of hotel options. Close to Weihai Park and Half Moon Bay, making travel convenient. • Near Torch Eighth Street: Must-try viral ocean view rooms 🌊! Open your window to "comic-like coastlines" and gorgeous sunrises! Very popular during peak season, so book at least a week ahead. • Rongcheng City Area: Choose this if visiting Sea Lion Island or Chengshantou! Surrounding guesthouses offer great value. Enjoy ocean sunrises in the morning and beach combing in the evening - perfectly relaxing! Popular Attractions 🎈 🌊 Torch Eighth Street: The viral "Weihai's Little Kamakura"! Blue and white houses along coastal roads make for perfect Instagram shots 📸. Arrive before 8am to avoid crowds. 🏖️ International Beach: Fine, soft sand. Though swimming isn't possible in April, walking on the beach, collecting shells, and watching waves is therapeutic! The sunset 🌇 is breathtaking. 🐦 Sea Lion Island: "Kingdom of Seagulls"! Take a boat to the island where thousands of seagulls 🕊️ circle above. Bring bread to feed them for an amazing experience! 🌳 Cat Head Mountain: The highlight of the coastal road! Rent electric scooters and visit Observation Deck #2 for cliffs, ocean, and windmills that look like movie scenes 🎞️! 🏯 Hanle Square: Korean-style street!

Powder-white sand, few people, beautiful scenery - perfect for photos and relaxation. Must-Try Food 🍤 🦀 Seafood Platter: Weihai essential! Crabs, prawns, abalone, scallops... all served in one pot, incredibly fresh! Recommend local food stalls. 🐟 Spanish Mackerel Dumplings: Thin skin with generous filling, juicy fish meat that bursts with flavor when bitten into. Perfect with vinegar and minced garlic! 🥟 Seaweed Buns: Special seaweed filling, fresh and not greasy.

Army stew, bibimbap, fried chicken with beer - all for about 50 yuan per person. 🍦 Seaweed Ice Cream: Weihai exclusive!
