Winter in Weihai is so beautiful that I want to live here all season!

If anyone says Weihai isn’t fun in December, I’ll argue with them! Just came down from Maotou Mountain, freezing cold but exhilarating enough to stomp my feet! ❄️ 📍Must-visit winter secret spots (limited beauty from December to January) 1. Maotou Mountain No. 2 Viewing Platform No matter how strong the wind is! At sunset, the sea looks like it’s covered in gold flakes 🌅 After the snow, the rocks are wrapped in frost, every photo looks like a “Nordic movie scene.” 2. Naxianghai Diamond Beach So few people in winter that you can have the whole beach to yourself! The sound of waves hitting ice chunks is incredibly soothing, and you can find snow-covered shells 🐚 3. Weihai Station · Torch 8th Street During Christmas season, the street is decorated with string lights! From the hilltop, you can capture “comic-style streets + snow-covered roofs,” even more photogenic than in summer ✨ 4. Rongcheng Swan Lake December is when the most swans gather! A flock of big white swans sliding on the ice, they’ll come around if you feed them bread (remember to bring hand warmers) 🚶‍♀️3-day 2-night easy itinerary Day 1: Torch 8th Street → Weihai Park (see the seaweed houses) → Maotou Mountain sunset → stay near Weihai Station Day 2: Naxianghai → Rongcheng Swan Lake → stay in Rongcheng (eat seafood) Day 3: Weihai International Seawater Bathing Beach (ice walking) → Han Lefang for Korean food → return trip 🚗Money-saving travel tips - Taxi rides within the city cost under 10 yuan; for Rongcheng, carpooling is recommended (about 20+ yuan per person) - Don’t rent an electric scooter in winter! The wind can blow you silly, and buses 🚌 to attractions are convenient 🍜Warm and cozy foods for cold days 1. Hairtail fish dumplings: a must-try! Thin skin, full filling, dip in vinegar with garlic—so good you’ll lick the plate 2. Han Lefang · Pork spine potato soup: a big pot stewed until tender, eat with rice and you’ll have three bowls 🍚 3. Sugar-roasted chestnuts + baked sweet potatoes: street snacks for 5 yuan, warm your hands and stomach 💡Winter survival tips - Wear a windproof down jacket + fleece pants! Keep your hat, scarf, and gloves on at all times (the wind on Maotou Mountain can blow you silly) - It gets dark by 4 PM! To catch the sunset, arrive at the spot before 3 PM - Book hotels in advance! Winter prices are one-third of peak season, and you can get sea view rooms Who understands! Winter in Weihai is a “quiet fairy tale” version, no crowds and you can enjoy the scenery alone. I regret not staying a few more days!
