The origin of the island is interesting, with two versions: it dates back to 220ad, the end of the eastern Han dynasty, when a royal family surnamed Liu fled here to escape murder and start a new life, so it is called Liugong island; The second version is a legend about an old man named Liu who lived on the island. When people and his wife are in trouble at sea, he always helps them. In his honor, the island is called Liugong island. There are statues of Liu Gong and Liu Mu on this island.

Facing the yellow sea, LLiugong island is located on the bank of Weihai bay, only 20 minutes’ drive from Weihan tourist wharf.
