China’s cleanest city
When talking about the seaside, Qingdao with blue sea and red bricks, Sanya with the same color of water and sky, or Beihai with fresh literature and art may come to mind…
However, there is such a small town hidden in the north, with beautiful scenery, like a fairyland on earth.
It is located at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula. It has a unique geographical location and is not affected by the heat in summer. The average temperature during the day is only 23°C, and you even need to sleep under a quilt at night.
Here, it seems to be a masterpiece of nature, gathering the epitome of China’s topography:
Green mountains, rippling blue waves, dotted islands, meandering rivers, cities and villages, woods and farmland, all beautiful things are there.
What’s even more amazing is that this small town is only separated from South Korea by a sea and is the closest city to South Korea.
Some people may have thought that the sea in the north is not as good as in the south, but all stereotypes are broken here. The coastline stretches for nearly 1,000 kilometers, with water as clear as a mirror, dense pine forests, and dancing seabirds.
What’s even more amazing is that China’s most beautiful Silver Beach is hidden here, which makes you forget to leave.
In addition to the charming sea views, the city also has green mountains, rows of buildings and wide and clean roads.
Walking there, you feel as if you are in a two-dimensional world, which is breathtakingly beautiful.
Therefore, it is known as “the sea is in the city, the city is in the forest, the forest is in the mountains, and the people are in the green”, which is unforgettable.
If Shandong is compared to a petrel facing the sea and spreading its wings, then Weihai is the beak of this petrel.
It is located at the easternmost point where mainland China enters the sea, and is the first place to welcome the sun.
Whenever dawn breaks and the first ray of sunshine shines on this land, Weihai is bathed in golden light, extremely romantic.

Some people say that when you step here, you feel like you are in the streets of Kamakura.

Riding on this road, you feel the company of the blue sky and white clouds, the warmth of the green mountains, and the comfort of the sea breeze, as if you are in a wonderland between the mountains and the sea.

Rongcheng who is out of the circle
Weihai, this beautiful coastal city, has countless dazzling features.
In addition to the fascinating Heart-shaped Island and the romantic Eighth Torch Street, there is another place that attracts much attention – Rongcheng.
Rongcheng, as a shining pearl in Weihai, although its area is small, it contains essence everywhere.
It is located at the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a 500-kilometer coastline, facing South Korea across the sea, and is one of the areas closest to South Korea in China.
When mentioning Rongcheng, the first thing many people think of is the unique seaweed houses.
These fluffy thatched houses face the sea, with the blue sky above their heads and green grass surrounding them, as if they are in a New Zealand fairy tale world.
These seaweed houses not only have a simple and crude appearance, but also have extremely high ecological value. They are one of the most representative ecological houses in the world.
They use stone as the wall and seaweed as the roof. Against the backdrop of blue sky, blue sea and green trees, they look more simple and stable.
The place where Rongcheng first came out of the circle was actually “Swan Lake”, which is one of the world’s famous swan wintering habitats and is known as the “Oriental Swan Kingdom”.
From November to April every year, tens of thousands of swans fly here from Siberia, Inner Mongolia, China and other places to spend the winter here, adding a different kind of warmth to Weihai’s winter.
Beside the smokey seaweed house and on the coast, through the lens of the photographer and on the drawing board of the painter, a series of quiet and vivid pictures slowly unfolded.
The scenery here is picturesque and intoxicating. As the poem goes: “Fishing nets are hung high on the trees, low walls separate the vegetable gardens, smoke rises from the fishermen’s kitchens, and incense surrounds the seaweed houses.”
Weihai Rongcheng is a place full of charm and vitality. Whether it is the charming natural scenery or the unique cultural customs, it makes people forget to leave.

The flower village in Shidao has become a sea of flowers because of the sandy black soil on the mountain and the gurgling springs all year round, which have given birth to countless wild flowers.
Whenever the flowers bloom, the flowers all over the mountains and plains are in bloom, like a beautiful picture, which is intoxicating.
