Liugong Island lies across the mouth of Weihai Bay and covers 3.15 square kilometers. In the late Qing it was the base of the Beiyang Fleet, and the fleet headquarters and other buildings still stand. The fleet was destroyed here in 1895 during the First Sino-Japanese War, and the island now holds the China Museum of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894–1895.
