Between the mountains and the sea lies Weihai Chishan｜A hidden summer retreat in Shandong

Chishan Scenic Area, a stunning tapestry of nature and culture, showcases extraordinary beauty with its unique mountain-sea juxtaposition. Here, dense forests cover over 95% of the area, resembling a green ocean. The four seasons are distinct, with mild winters and cool summers, and the annual average temperature is a pleasant 11.4℃. The air is filled with high concentrations of negative oxygen ions, earning it the title of a natural 'oxygen bar,' refreshing the mind and body and making one forget the hustle and bustle of the world. Within the scenic area, ten major scenic spots are arranged in an orderly manner. The ancient charm of Chishan Fahua Temple, the sanctity of the Great Ming Holy Land (Chishan Myojin), the tranquility of Auspicious Peace Valley, the simplicity of Rongcheng Folk Museum, the legend of Jang Bogo Memorial Hall, and the Zen atmosphere of Chishan Zen Temple—each exudes unique cultural allure. Coupled with the weathered cliff carvings, the mysterious Wordless Heavenly Stele, the majestic Skyward Buddha, and the serene Sitting Buddha Stone, they form a series of breathtaking natural and cultural landscapes. Moreover, Chishan Scenic Area is closely connected with Phoenix Lake Coastal Tourism Resort, the tourist pier, the sparkling sea bathing beach, the incense-filled Tianhou Palace, and the fishing-themed Flower Village, Painting Village, and Fishing Village, forming an exciting and diverse tourist route. This place not only gathers the essence of Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian cultures but also magnificently showcases the grandeur and delicacy of mountain and sea scenery. It is an excellent choice for 'mountain-sea landscape tours,' as well as ideal for 'religious pilgrimage tours,' 'island folk tours,' and 'ecological leisure tours,' allowing every visitor to find a spiritual home and harmonious integration with nature.
