The port of WEIHAI , 60km east of Yantai, has nothing to recommend it to tourists, but it's an important transit point. A twice-weekly passenger ferry leaves from here for Inch'on in South Korea . Tickets (the cheapest are US$130) can be booked at Weihai CITS at 27 Heping Lu (tel 0896/5225850), Yantai CITS or from the business centre at the Wehaiwei Dasha (tel 0896/5232542; ¥150-200) on Kunming Lu, the main road leading to the port. Cheaper accommodation is offered at the Weihaiwei Dajiudian (tel 0896/5233888; ¥100-150), on a small street one block north of Kunming Lu, which has a very plush seafood restaurant . The Bank of China , where you can change travellers' cheques, is a few minutes farther west along Kunming Lu from the Weihaiwei Dasha. Weihai's long-distance bus station is about ten minutes south of the Bank of China, or 25 minutes' walk from the port. There are sleeper buses to Beijing (¥150 one way) and Shanghai (¥200 one way) every afternoon, and frequent services to Yantai and Qingdao.
