Weihai lies in the northeastern corner of Shandong province, 88km/55mi east of Yantai, with which it is linked by a good road.
In the 14th C Weihai was a fortified coastal town. In the 1870s the Manchurian government set up a base here for its newly-formed navy, which was completely wiped out by the Japanese in the naval battle off Weihai in 1895. From 1898 to 1930 the town was under British rule, after which it was returned to the Chinese.
