Weihai

Introduction

2019-06-20---2021-07-10

I came to Weihai for grad school and lived here for two years. It’s a great place to settle down: mountains, the sea, blue skies, great food, an airport, a port, fewer crowds, and genuinely nice people. The wind, though, is seriously intense.

A few years after graduation, I came back to Weihai with my girlfriend to attend her best friend’s wedding.

1. Ferry

It was my first time taking a ferry, from Dalian to Weihai. They said it would take eight hours, but it actually took almost ten. No internet, no signal, and a lot of wind.

2. Huanhai Road

Huanhai Road has mountains on the left and the sea on the right. It’s beautiful.

3. Rongcheng

2019-09-20

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I rented a car with a buddy. We went to Rongcheng first, then Qingdao and Huangdao, and finally back to Weihai. Rongcheng is even a little cleaner than Weihai, and the roads are wider too. Too bad the weather was bad both days we were there.

4. Golden Beach

Just outside the north gate of campus is the beach. It isn’t as famous as the beach by neighboring Shandong University, but it’s still gorgeous.

5. Torch Eighth Street

My girlfriend came back to Weihai, so we went to Torch Eighth Street to take some photos. Back then, the street hadn’t gone viral yet—there wasn’t a single person around.
