[2025 Yantai Attraction] Travel Guide for Cishan Provincial Geopark (Updated Apr)

🔅1 Location 📍 Take bus 211 from the train station and get off at the Cishan Geological Museum. 🔅2 Objective Cishan Mountain has an elevation of 528 meters. After entering the main gate, walk to the square. The path up the mountain is on the right, and the descent is on the left. I recommend taking the right path. Follow the steps uphill, and the first checkpoint is the Shi Laogong peak. 📸 🔅3 The second checkpoint is the popular "One Line Sky." It might be a bit challenging for larger individuals. Be careful of your head as there are warning signs on the stone walls. Before the climbing stairs, there's a branch where the "One Line Sky" cliff is fractured. If you can't pass through, take the main route. There's a viewing platform for resting after you come out. Continue along the boardwalk. 📸 🔅4 You'll reach the main peak of Cishan Mountain. It's beautiful and a must-see. Be sure to pay attention to safety. After passing the summit, continue forward to the "Shengu Wanghai" checkpoint, where you can see wind turbines. Then, follow the stairs down the mountain. The entire journey takes about two hours.

🧗‍♀️Yantai/Climbing without taking photos, isn't that just giving up? 📍Yantai Magnetic Mountain⛰️ It is recommended to ascend from the right side and descend from the left side. The scenery on the right is nicer, but there is a steep section. It takes about three hours to go up and down. The mountain is usually closed at three o'clock, and at four o'clock on Saturdays and Sundays. It is advised to go earlier, as it has been very popular recently, and it takes more than half an hour just to queue up for the security check at the entrance! The small Magnetic Mountain is well worth the visit.

#timetotravel 📍 West End of Changjiang Road, Fushan, Yantai 🗓️ 2019, 2020 🏔️ Nestled in Yantai, Cishan Mountain may not tower, yet its gradual ascent promises a bit of a workout. But the rewards of this serene climb are ample. 🚘 🚌 Getting There: To reach this haven, rent a car for convenience or opt for a Didi ride. My first venture was in a car with a local friend, and the second time, we Didi'd there and back. However, be prepared for a slight walk downhill to hail a Didi back. Alternatively, you can take bus number 211 for ease. 🤩 🍱 🥤 This is an entrance-free escape. Ascending this not-so-tall peak demands effort, but the panoramic rewards are mesmerizing. After about a 2-hour hike to the peak, you'll find a restroom and small shops for beverages. It's wise to pack your own food and drinks for sustenance. 🏞️🚶‍♂️🌸🍂 Expect a 3-5 hour exploration window, making Cishan Mountain a serene escape for spring and autumn. Embrace the climb for a memorable experience that balances effort and natural beauty. #chinalife #yantai #memories
