The city of Weihai is quite good. It is a small and medium-sized city with a small population. The city is clean and not crowded. The infrastructure is as complete as that of a first-tier city. The Huanhai Road is beautiful. There are many seaside cities in the country. Weihai's seaside is surrounded by the sea on a mountainous road, with mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The Huanhai Road overlooks the sea. The boundary between the mountains and the sea is blue. The sea water is blue and Weihai is blue, which is a bit exotic.
It is still useful to bring a small-wheeled folding bike for self-driving this time. Four wheels plus two wheels, 4+2 mode. The best means of transportation to explore a city is a bicycle, not even a motorcycle. It must be a bicycle. Only bicycles can be explored in a carpet. The only thing is that Weihai has a lot of ups and downs, so driving is quite fun, but riding is not fun, and you can't ride without any physical strength.
威海的独特魅力
What impressed me deeply about Weihai was not only its seaside scenery, but also the city’s perfect scale and rhythm. Not as crowded and noisy as big cities, nor as lackluster as small towns, Weihai has found a perfect balance.
The design of Huanhai Road is classic. The location halfway up the mountain allows you to feel the weight of the mountain and appreciate the vastness of the sea. This kind of geographical environment with mountains and seas interdependent is indeed rare among domestic coastal cities. Weihai blue is the perfect word to describe the color of the sea water here.
4+2出行模式的体验
This self-driving trip with a folding bicycle gave me a new understanding of urban exploration. The car is responsible for long-distance movement and cargo, and the bicycle is responsible for deep exploration. This combination is indeed very practical.
However, the terrain of Weihai is indeed a challenge for cyclists. The undulating mountain roads make riding quite strenuous. But it is this terrain that creates Weihai’s unique urban landscape and driving experience. There are gains and there are losses. This is probably the true meaning of travel.
