g18 expressway runs from Rongcheng to Wuhai, abbreviated as Rongwu Expressway, with the national expressway network code G18. It starts in Rongcheng, passing through Weihai, Yantai, Xinhe, Dongying, Huanghua, Tianjin, Bazhou, Laiyuan, Shuozhou, and Ordos, ending in Wuhai, with a total length of 1,820 kilometers. The Shandong section of Rongwu Expressway was fully opened to traffic on September 28, 2008. The planned route from Dongying to Tianjin overlaps with the G25 Changshen Expressway. The main road is planned and constructed according to expressway standards, with a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour, a roadbed width of 26 meters, four lanes in both directions, fully enclosed and fully interchanged. The bridge and culvert design load is Highway Level 1, and complete safety, service, toll, communication, and management facilities are set up.
I often go on road trips, especially driving on the G18 Expressway several times. It starts from Rongcheng in Shandong and runs westward to Wuhai City in Inner Mongolia, covering a total distance of about 1,800 kilometers. I drove from Weihai, passing through Dezhou and Taiyuan, seeing Mount Tai and the Yellow River—the scenery was incredibly beautiful, especially in the hilly areas of Shanxi, where the open views were refreshing. I recommend checking your tires and brakes before long-distance drives, as there are steep slopes and winding sections that can be tiring. Gas stations are conveniently located every 100 kilometers or so for refueling. This expressway connects the eastern coast with the inland grasslands, making it a perfect adventure route for road trip enthusiasts, offering diverse climates and cultural experiences along the way.
