- Smaller, unlit alleyways away from main roads: While generally safe, these areas can become poorly lit and less secure after dark, with a higher chance of petty crime.
Insider tip: While Weifang is famous for kites, consider visiting during the annual International Kite Festival (typically in April) for the most vibrant experience, but book accommodations well in advance.
