'Mighty Sea Fort'), is a prefecture-level city and major seaport city in the easternmost Shandong province of China. It borders Yantai to the west and the Yellow Sea to the east, and is the closest mainland Chinese city to South Korea (specifically, Chengshan to Yeonpyeongdo).
Compared with the 2,804,771 people in the 2010 Chinese census, there has been a total increase of 101,777 people over the past decade, an increase of 3.63%, with an average annual growth rate of 0.36%.[4][5] Weihai's population was 2,906,548 as of the 2020 Chinese census, of whom 1,164,730 lived in the current built-up (or metro) area of (Huancui District) even though Wendeng district to the south with 563,529 inhabitants is soon being conurbated. There are two county-level cities within Weihai; Rongcheng had a built up area with 714,211 inhabitants, while Rushan had 464,078 inhabitants in 2020.[6]
History
[edit],_RP-F-2001-7-1637B-26_(cropped).jpg)
Prehistorically, it was inhabited by Dongyi tribes,[7] and it was annexed into China proper by the state of Qi in 567 B.C.
Before the 14th century, Weihai was a minor fishing settlement. In 1398, during the Ming dynasty, it became a military stronghold (wei) to defend against raids by the wokou. The fortification at Weihai was constructed in 1403, and contained walls almost 2 miles (3.2 km) in circumference.[8]
Weihaiwei was the base for the Beiyang Fleet during the Qing Dynasty. In 1895, the Japanese captured it in the Battle of Weihaiwei, which is regarded as the last major battle of the First Sino-Japanese War. The Japanese then evacuated Weihaiwei on 24 May 1898, after which it was occupied by the British.[9]
The core of Weihai (now Huancui District) was ruled by the British from 1 July 1898 to 1930 under a lease agreement with the Chinese empire, with Port Edward (the center of the original Weihai city, now in Huancui District) serving as the capital.[8] A Royal Navy base was built on Liugong Island.

Weihaiwei became an integral part of China after it was returned to the Republic of China on 1 October 1930,[10][11] but Liugong Island and its facilities were leased back to the U.K. until 1940.[9]
Weihaiwei was occupied by the Japanese from 1938 to 1945.[12] There was a withdrawal of most British forces and supplies from Liugong Island, and finally a Japanese military landing and occupation of the island in 1940.[13]
The region was formally incorporated into Shandong province on 10 May 1945.[12] In 1949, Weihaiwei City was established, and its name was shortened to Weihai after the Communist revolution.
Since 2003, a replica of the Chinese battleship Dingyuan has been anchored here as a museum ship and memorial for Chinese veterans of the First Sino-Japanese War.[14]
Administrative divisions
[edit]The prefecture-level city of Weihai administers four county-level divisions, including two districts and two county-level cities. Weihai City has jurisdiction over two districts and two cities: Huancui District, Wendeng District, Rongcheng City, and Rushan City (Weihai Torch High tech Industrial Development Zone, Weihai Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Weihai Lingang Economic and Technological Development Zone are national level development zones, Weihai Nanhai Economic Development Zone is a provincial-level development zone, and the Development Zone Management Committee is a dispatched agency of the municipal government), with a total of 48 towns, 24 street offices, 2373 village committees, and 390 resident committees.[15]

Geography and climate
[edit]Weihai is located on the northeastern shore of Shandong; its administrative area includes Chengshantou (成山头), the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula (Shantung Peninsula). The city is surrounded by sea on three sides; its port is protected by Liugong Island.
Weihai experiences a continental climate, and it is climactically influenced by the surrounding Yellow Sea and the Siberian high.Weihai City is located in the mid latitudes and belongs to the northern temperate monsoon continental climate, with significant seasonal changes and monsoon advance and retreat. Compared with inland areas at the same latitude, it has the characteristics of abundant rainfall, moderate annual temperature, and mild climate.[16] Springtime warming and autumn cooling are delayed by one month, winds are generally high, and the average diurnal temperature variation throughout the year is small—at only 6.5 °C (11.7 °F). Winters are cold and dry, but still warmer than inland regions at the same latitude; the average temperature in January is ?0.5 °C (31.1 °F). Summers are hot and humid, but much cooler than inland regions at similar latitude like the North China Plain (for about 5~10 °C) and August averages 25.3 °C (77.5 °F); the annual mean is 13.1 °C (55.6 °F). More than two-thirds of the annual precipitation occurs from June to September, and there are nearly 2,508.5 hours of sunshine per year.
