Banyue Bay
半月湾
A half-moon-shaped bay on North Ring Sea Road in Weihai, with a classic seascape of reefs, sandy beaches, and an offshore lighthouse. It is ideal for leisurely cycling along the road.
Banyue Bay lies on North Ring Sea Road in northern Weihai. The bay is shaped like a half-moon, with fine sand beaches and reefs along the shore. Across the water you can see small islands in the sea, and toward Liugong Island the view stretches over the ocean. It is one of the bays where cyclists and self-drivers on the ring road most often stop. Entry is free. In summer you can swim and dig for clams, and there are viewing platforms and walking paths nearby. It sits next to Putaotan and Haiyuan Park, so the three can be strung together into a half-day seaside route. North Ring Sea Road has many bends, so watch for oncoming traffic when cycling. The wind by the sea is strong and the reefs are slippery, so do not walk onto the outer reefs at high tide.
