Luhai City (Monsilvan: 綠海市; pinyin: Lǜhǎi shì), is a city and the capital of its namesake state of Luhai. Luhai City is located in northern Monsilva on the coast of the Kivu Ocean. Most of the city lies within the basin of the Chun River which flows from the Port of Luhai in Luhai City through the city towards Tsingyi and the mountains of Leibo. As the capital, Luhai City is home to the seat of the Luhai State Government, the Luhai State Office. The city is located in the center-east of the state, with the country of Fujikuni being to the north and the state of Meixian being to the south.

The city is home to an estimated population of 4,350,800 (July 2022), forming the majority of what is occasionally referred to as the "Greater Luhai Area" which includes towns in the city's outskirts which are located in rural municipalities surrounding the city. Luhai City is Monsilva's 2nd most-populous city, just beating Menchi but falling well behind Amking. It is also Ostlandet's 12th largest city. The city holds around 71% of the state of Luhai's population, with the other 29% living in either Tsingyi or in the state's more rural areas. Tsingyi's proximity to the outskirts of Luhai City has allowed the two cities to be 'linked' by a thin strip of towns that are very close together. During the dynastic period of Monsilva, Luhai City was the capital of the Qin dynasty which lasted from 792 BCE to 1201 CE. During this period, the Port of Luhai was built, which is Monsilva's busiest harbor and has allowed Luhai's economy to become one of the largest in Monsilva. Even after Luhai lost its capital status, the vitality of the Port kept its economy and political status at a high level.

Luhai City is a hub for high-tech industries and business, with many top Monsilvan companies, such as Fushao, Ltd. being headquartered within the city's limits. As well as being an economic center, Luhai is also a cultural and architectural center, being home to many famous landmarks such as the Luhai National Football Stadium, Kaohsiung Tower, the Museum of the Natural World and the Port of Luhai. Education is very high quality in Luhai, being home to the University of Luhai which is a highly regarded, often considered one of, if not the top university in Monsilva. Thanks to Luhai's popularity and importance, the city is well connected. Monsilvan Railways Administration, highways, airports and bus lines connect Luhai to the rest of the country and internationally. The city is served by Luhai Qingdao International Airport which runs both domestic and international flights. The city is also served by both the Monsilvan Railways Administration, which provides both commuter and high-speed services across Monsilva, and the Federal North Railway, which runs slower but more extensive services throughout the states of Luhai, Leibo and Meixian. Serving both Luhai and the city of Tsingyi is the Luhai Metro, which is Monsilva's second largest metropolitan railway network.
