For cycling enthusiasts, there are few cycling routes in Weihai. Weihai's coastline is mainly divided into the north coast, west coast, northeast corner coast and east coast, and the beautiful scenery along the way makes you feel that the sea is contracted here. Renting a car can be rented inside the campus of Shanxi University and Harbin Institute of Technology or by the beach, which is probably the best way to embrace the sea.
Starting from HIT, we recommend three classic cycling routes:
Dahuanhai: "the distance from the west gate to the south gate", the whole distance is 23.7km, a super classic route, passing through Yuanyao, Jingzi, Shandong Village, Banyuewan, Municipal Government and other places. I don't know how many people who love cycling, photography and outdoor love show their enthusiasm, enjoy the scenery and harvest growth on this road. Features: Scenery everywhere.
Small Huanhai: The direction is opposite to the big Huanhai, go west, pass through the rear of Shanda Huanhai Road, International Beach, Little Rock Island, return to the south gate through Wenhua West Road, the whole journey is about 18km, features: beaches along the way (including International Beach), Little Rock Island sunset, night view of Wenhua West Road.
South Gate to Sea Park (East Coast): From South Gate to Haibin Road via Cultural Road, the scenery along the way is infinite, to the Sea Park can be played, about 16km one way, easy difficulty, cycling leisure, entertainment.

People living in Weihai often say go to the beach, whether it is to watch the sunrise or sunset together, or to take a quiet walk by the sea under the night sky, this sea has overheard too many stories of us. When taking graduation photos, not only is there a group photo in the library at the school gate, the beach next to the school gate has become a unique location that is the envy of many other schools, and it is common to see newlyweds taking wedding photos near Little Rock Island.
In summer, the seaside food stalls are also gradually lively, white tables and chairs and yellowish lights, connecting the opposite sea, drinking beer and eating seafood barbecue, drinking wine or merrying, not telling parting, everyone who lives here or has been here in Weihai The photos taken in Weihai hide a memory and story about the sea.
