Weihai’s natural landscape

Have time to read a book. Shengshui Temple

It is located at the western foot of the Weide Mountains in Rongcheng City, 30 kilometers away from Weihai City. It is one of the birthplaces of the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism. Wang Yuyang, one of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, once practiced Taoism here and was the founder of the Holy Water Temple. It is named after the holy water inside the temple.

According to legend, in 1164 AD, King Chuyi of Dongmou, named Yuyang, was traveling here. He saw the cold weather outside the mountains, but here there were gurgling streams, green grass and lush trees, so he built a temple. Here, there are still the meditation stone houses built by Master Yuyang and the Yuqing Palace, which is full of true energy. In 1167, the immortal Wang Chongyang came to the east to preach and founded the Quanzhen sect. Yuyang Liguan worshiped Wang Chongyang as his teacher at Yanxia Cave in Kunyu Mountain. After attaining Taoism, he looked back during the Taihe period and recruited many disciples to promote the Quanzhen Sect. Since then, disciples such as Sun Daogu have kept in mind the teachings of their teachers, practiced Taoism carefully, passed on sutras and sent treasures. From then on, this place has become a paradise for ancient saints and sages to live in seclusion and Taoist monks to practice.

After paying homage to Laozi and Bixia Yuanjun, I climbed up the thirty-three bluestone steps that seemed to soar into the sky, and came to the "Lingxiao Hall" where all the immortals gathered. Look around and see the panoramic view of the holy water. With a panoramic view, this place is surrounded by mountains. It is truly a treasure land of Feng Shui. No wonder Master Yuyang chose this place as a place to practice his true skills and planted this lush, spiritual and ancient ginkgo tree that is rich in yin and yang fruits. How many guests come from thousands of miles away just to ask for a bottle of holy water and pick a ginkgo leaf, hoping that its spirituality will protect their family's health and safety.

Located on the southeast coast of Rushan City, in the center of Qingdao, Yantai and Weihai, it is known as "the best beach in the world" and "Oriental Hawaii". Here, there are beautiful forests and blue sea, beautiful reefs and winding beaches, with mountains, seas, islands, reefs, beaches, springs, forests and rivers. The 20-kilometer-long beach has a gentle slope and flat beach. The sand is fine and soft and as white as silver, hence the name "Silver Beach". The area is rich in natural and cultural landscapes. Pearl Bay, Baiyin Bay, Gongjia Island, Sanguan Pavilion, Xianren Bridge, Suolong Stone, Duogu Mountain, Monk Cave, and ten thousand acres of forest add luster to the Silver Beach.

Rongcheng Swan Lake Tourist Resort

The world's largest swan habitat is located in Chengshanwei Town, Rongcheng City, at the eastern end of the Jiaodong Peninsula. It is now a provincial tourist resort. Legend has it that Swan Lake was formed from the tears of Qin Shihuang's wife. The lake is clear, the beach is golden, the sky is blue, the water is blue, and the scenery is beautiful. Every year from November to April of the following year, thousands of whooper swans, tens of thousands of wild ducks, and wild geese travel thousands of miles from Siberia, Inner Mongolia and other places to come here in groups to live and overwinter, so it is known as the "Oriental Swan Kingdom" . The lake and the sea are separated by a large sand bar 100 meters wide, forming a natural 10,000-meter sea bathing beach and sand bathing venue.

Huancuilou Park

It is located in the center of Weihai, at the eastern foot of Xikua Ancient Mountain, and is built against the mountain. Huancui Tower was built in the Ming Dynasty, with painted pillars, carved beams, and cornice doors. Because it is surrounded by mountains and greenery, it has the beauty of sea, mountains and rivers, and is known as "Huancui". It was bombed by the Japanese invaders in 1944. The current Huancui Building was rebuilt on the original site in 1978. The main building has three floors and is 16.8 meters high. The roof is covered with glazed tiles, with mountain-style eaves and carved empty windows. The eaves of the building were written by the famous calligrapher Shu Tong. The three characters "Huancui Tower" are shining brightly, and the plaque on the back of the building "Huancui Lingkong" was written by the famous calligrapher Huang Miaozi.

Climb this building and have a panoramic view of the city scenery of the port city of Weihai. There is also a bronze statue of national hero Deng Shichang in the square in front of the park
