If only I had come across this note before going to Weihai

Weihai really hides so many off-the-beaten-path and photogenic spots, especially Beishan Road. Only after visiting did I realize it has more charm than the popular check-in spots. I've put together this genuine travel guide to help you avoid the crowds and enjoy your trip more comfortably~ 🌟 Key hidden gem spot: Beishan Road 1. Location: Navigate to "Sunjia Tuan Bus Station," the entrance to Beishan Road is right across. 2. Photography Tips: Bring a telephoto lens. Snowy days feel like a fairy tale, sunny days have a Japanese manga vibe. Go before 7 AM or after 4 PM for fewer people and soft lighting—every shot looks like a masterpiece. 3. Hidden activity: Walk to the end of Beishan Road and turn right to reach a distant pier with abandoned fishing boats and white chime bells. The ruins-style photos here are uniquely striking. 4. Transportation advice: The road is steep, so prioritize taxis or driving yourself; buses take longer. 5. Outfit suggestion: Light-colored dresses and a straw hat. The sea breeze will boost the atmosphere to the max. 📍 Other lesser-known spots worth visiting in Weihai 1. Torch 8th Street: If you want to check in, arrive before 9 AM to avoid crowds and capture the Japanese street vibe. 2. Jinshi Bay Art Park: Seaweed houses by the sea, full of artistic feeling, perfect for fresh photo shoots. 3. Naxianghai: Fewer people than the International Seawater Bathing Beach, clean sand, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of windmills and the sea together. ⚠️ Pitfall reminders 1. Weihai’s coastal wind is strong; even on sunny days, it’s recommended to bring a light jacket as the temperature difference by the sea is large. 2. Popular seafood restaurants may be overpriced; seafood places next to local markets offer better value and you can buy seafood to be cooked yourself. 3. When visiting Weihai in winter, watch out for icy roads, especially on slopes like Beishan Road. Please be careful when traveling.
