Shandong Weihai, A Garden-like City by the Sea

WeihaiWeihai, dubbed China’s “Garden City”, rests along the shoreline in the northeastern section of Shandong. This coastal city boasts lush forests, picturesque islands, and more than 600 miles of beachhead. Its clean waters and fertile land have given way to large agricultural cultivation and the largest production of seafood in China. In addition to beauty, Weihai has been a city of great importance since China reopened its doors to foreign investment in the 1980s. Now education and research thrive with students from around the world, and businesses have come to call this city home. Natural beauty, growing business, and high standards of living have led the United Nations and other international groups to name Weihai as one of the most livable cities in the world.
This beautiful city is also steeped in rich history. While belonging to China now, the area was leased to the United Kingdom for a many years, while the land across the bay was leased to Russia. As time went on, the area was surrendered to the Japanese when China lost territory in the Sino-Japanese War. The area then remained under Japanese control until the end of the Second World War. All this and more can be seen at the Sino-Japanese Museum in Weihai. Come and visit for a chance to see and touch old equipment, bringing China’s history to life in your hands!
Among other attractions, Weihai is a hot spot in China for vacationers both domestic and foreign. Come and gaze off the cliffs at Chengshantou, taking in the waves as they crash along the rocks. Or travel out to Sea Donkey Island, where so many birds come to mate that locals affectionately call it the “Kingdom of Seagulls”. In fact the fall is a great time in Weihai, as hundreds of swans make their way down from Russia to bask in Weihai’s lovely clime. Of course if you have an interest in animals, stop off at the Weihai Zoo. As one of the largest zoos in Shandong, you’ll find dozens of animals and other great entertainment. Looking for more excitement? Weihai even has a film studio where you can watch the pros in action!
But perhaps you’re looking to get away from all the hustle and bustle? If you’d to slow down and relax, know that Weihai is more than just one of the busiest ports in China. Other than the numerous top-quality resorts located in the area, Weihai is privileged to have more than enough beach for everyone.
