Weihai Park & Happiness Gate
威海公园·幸福门
The Happiness Gate, a city landmark of Weihai, stands in a seaside park. Visitors can climb the gate-shaped structure for sea views, which look across the bay toward Liugong Island.
The Happiness Gate is a landmark of Weihai: a massive square gate-frame structure symbolizing the 'Gate of Weihai.' It stands in Weihai Park (Seaside Park) on the coast east of the city centre. An elevator takes you to a top-floor observation deck with views over Weihai Bay and Liugong Island (there is a fee; confirm on site). In front of the gate is a large plaza, and along the coast stretches a seaside promenade and green space several kilometres long, ideal for cycling and walking. At night, when the lights come on, it is a great spot to photograph the city skyline. The park is free to enter and easy to reach, with several bus routes serving it.
