A perfect summer getaway, bringing the fairytale scenery into life – stay at Sanmengji and never want to leave
Rongcheng, Weihai, the easternmost city of Shandong Peninsula. Before the summer vacation rush arrives, for a better experience of beach waves, sunsets, hot springs, feeding seagulls, and escaping the heat, I checked into the Sanmengji Sunset Harbor Resort Villas in Rongcheng, Weihai.
The moment I entered the villa area of the hotel, I was stunned. It’s more aligned with Chinese aesthetics than Santorini and offers a richer experience than Jeju Island. The hotel’s overall palette features soft whites and light blues, paired with exquisite wooden decor, exuding freshness and romance everywhere.
I booked a sea-view room. Opening the balcony door revealed a vast expanse of blue ocean. Standing on the balcony, the breeze gently brushed my face with a cool touch. Sitting on the oversized wooden swing chair, I watched seagulls circling in the sky, occasionally letting out loud cries.
In the afternoon, sunlight ☀️ streamed onto the balcony’s hot spring pool. Soaking in the warm water while sipping afternoon tea and admiring the sunset was pure bliss. Waves crashed rhythmically against the shore, creating a soothing "whooshing" sound like a lullaby, instantly relaxing me and curing my insomnia.

🍽️ Hotel dining:
The hotel’s Sunset Restaurant serves three meals a day, matching the standards of 4- or 5-star hotel restaurants. Breakfast is plentiful, though a bit heavy on veggies 😂. Dining with an endless ocean view feels like sitting in a white room, enjoying delicious food while watching the wind and waves against a canvas of Klein blue, with seagulls and fishing boats drifting by.
