[2025 Yantai Attraction] Travel Guide for Yangma Island (Updated May)

🌹Location: Yangma Island, Muping District, Yantai, Shandong 🍓Transportation 🚄High-speed Rail: Muping Station is recommended, 5 km from Yangma Island, a 10-minute taxi ride. Yantai Station is farther away, 28 km. 🛵Getting to the Island: It is recommended to rent an electric scooter to ride around the island, stopping to take photos as you go.

There are many kinds of seafood here, such as dried shredded squid, dried shredded eel, spiced hairtail, yellow croaker, caviar, cod fillets… There are also many free samples to try. 【Navigation🦐: Jiangji Yantai Specialties】It's only a 10-minute drive from Yangma Island. You can stop by after your trip and buy some souvenirs to share with your friends. ❤️Note ❶Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sea breeze + ultraviolet rays will get you sunburned in minutes (hat + sunglasses are a must). ❷Don't wear slippers when exploring the tide pools! The reef area is super slippery. Water shoes are safer. ❸Avoid riding during midday. There is little shade on the island road. It's more comfortable in the evening.

Qingdao and Weihai are beautiful, but Yantai is even more so. Especially in winter, when there are few tourists, the blue sea and sky are even more beautiful.

For accommodation, I recommend staying near Yantai University, where there is a snack street right outside the door, and the transportation is super convenient🤩!

Sun protection: Sunscreen/sun hat/sun protection clothing/umbrella Don't miss the food either, as you can eat fresh seafood at any restaurant on the island, which is so delicious🤤! But do you know that Yangma Island has more than just seafood as a specialty food😜! First of all, the mackerel dumplings🥟 on Yangma Island are amazing! The fresh and tender mackerel meat filling is full of juice when you take a bite, and who wouldn't be confused after eating it😲? There are also seaweed buns😁, with a unique taste that is simply irresistible! Fresh seaweed with pork filling, so fragrant👏! The fisherman's big steamed buns are also one of the specialties😃, big and fluffy, with a light sweet taste🤩! In addition, the local barbecue is also unique😜, grilled horse mackerel, grilled squid, the taste, tut tut tut... Family, come to Yangma Island to experience this beautiful scenery!

The sea salt cheesecake and coffee also boasted good taste, and the staff were friendly, so it was a good place to relax. #Cafe with a good view #China travel #Yantai travel #Yangma Island #Beach cafe

Yangma Island is located in the Yellow Sea, Muping District, Yantai City,of Shandong Province. sometimes referred to as “Horse Island”. Me and my friends drove to Yangma Island. There are a few nice tourist spots with wonderful view. First we were amazed by the sunset and we spent some time watching the sun hiding behind the horizon. It was very relaxing and nice but after a while we were trying to find a place where we can get coffee unfortunately nowhere really decent for coffee. It didn't take us too long to understand that next time better bring our own water/drinks and just enjoy the view.
