There are many kinds of seafood here. I recommend trying the barbecue style🍢. ▪️Yantai is also the capital of Lu cuisine in China, and the dishes here suit my taste very well. ▪️I also went to a specialty store this time and bought a lot of local products to take home. 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.

Hey guys! 👋 Is there a song that makes you long for a coastal city, like a sea breeze with a salty tang? For me, it's the song "Yantai." The poetic lyrics, "The sea of Yantai is an open book, the tides come and go, full of stories. The mountains of Yantai are a silent tower, the clouds roll by, witnessing change," perfectly capture the charm of Yantai's mountains and sea. They made me curious about this city and eager to explore its allure. In February, I set off for Yantai with anticipation, embarking on a coastal journey. Check out my guide! 🌆 Yantai is located in the northeast of the Shandong Peninsula, facing the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. It's a city that combines natural scenery and cultural history. Here, you'll find winding coastlines, beaches, and reefs; lush mountains and forests shrouded in mist; and ancient streets and alleys that bear the marks of time. In February, Yantai is still chilly, but the sea breeze and warm sun create a unique sense of tranquility and grandeur. 🚗 Transportation Guide ✈️ By Air: After arriving at Yantai Penglai International Airport, you can take the airport shuttle bus to various major locations in the city, which is economical and convenient. A taxi ride to the city center takes about 40–50 minutes, making for a relaxing coastal trip. 🚄 By High-Speed Rail: Yantai Station and Yantai South Station have many train services. Yantai Station is closer to the city center, with well-developed facilities and convenient public transportation and taxis. You can reach popular attractions right after exiting the station. Yantai South Station is a bit farther, but transportation connections are smooth, allowing for quick transfers to various destinations. City buses generally operate from 6:00 am to 8:00 pm, with some routes adjusting for winter passenger flow. You can pay with Alipay or WeChat ride codes. Check the bus app for real-time information before traveling. 🗺 Recommended Itinerary Day 1️⃣: Yantai Mountain - Changyu Wine Culture Museum - Chaoyang Street - Suochengli Day 2️⃣: Penglai Pavilion - Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area (consider taking a boat trip depending on the weather and sea conditions) Day 3️⃣: Yangma Island - Golden Beach Coastal Park 🌟 Must-Visit Attractions 📍 Yantai Mountain: This area is home to buildings with various international styles, earning it the nickname "World Architecture Expo." Stroll through the mountain, wander among the consulate sites, churches, and other buildings, and feel the passage of time and the fusion of diverse cultures. Climb to the lighthouse at the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. 📷 📍 Yangma Island: The island boasts picturesque scenery, with pristine beaches, clear waters, and lush forests. In winter, the seaside is less crowded, offering a sense of tranquility. Drive or cycle along the coastline, admire the sea and sky, and occasionally spot seabirds soaring, as if you've entered a paradise. 📌 Practical Tips 1. Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is free to enter, but some venues charge separate fees. You can purchase tickets as needed. Book tickets for the Changyu Wine Culture Museum in advance to learn about wine-making culture and enjoy wine tasting. Don't miss it! Chaoyang Street and Suochengli are historical districts in Yantai, with many food and cultural shops. Explore and experience the charm of old Yantai. 2. Buy tickets for the Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area online in advance. Dress warmly when visiting, as it's windy by the sea. If you plan to take a boat trip at the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area, check the weather and boat schedule in advance for safety. It's recommended to drive to Yangma Island for convenient access to various attractions. When walking along Golden Beach Coastal Park in winter, be mindful of wind and sand. 🍜 Local Food Recommendations 🥘 Mackerel Dumplings: A signature dish in Yantai, made with fresh mackerel filling. The dumpling skin is thin, and the filling is generous. Take a bite, and the tender, juicy fish fills your mouth with a delicious taste that lingers. 👍 🍤 Seaweed Buns: Made with fresh local seaweed, the bun skin is soft and chewy, with the unique umami of seaweed. Enjoy a basket in the morning to warm up and fill your stomach, starting your day with energy. 🏨 Hotel Accommodation 📍 Near Yantai Mountain: Yantai Golden Gulf Hotel is conveniently located near Yantai Mountain, Changyu Wine Culture Museum, and other attractions. Some rooms offer sea views, making it easy to travel and explore.

The rich history of Yantai Mountain, the serene beauty of Yangma Island, and the delicious food all captivated me. Humming "Yantai" as I strolled through the streets, I truly felt the charm of this city. Everything here is like an endless poem, an unfinished painting. I eagerly look forward to returning and continuing to explore this romantic place by the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. 💕

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.

😍Wow! Yantai Yangma Island, a breathtaking fairyland😍 Who would have thought that Yantai Yangma Island is so beautiful! I was really amazed by its jelly-like sea, speechless😲!

For accommodation, I recommend staying near Yantai University, where there is a snack street right outside the door, and the transportation is super convenient🤩! For travel, the island is very large, so it is recommended to drive by yourself, as the attractions are scattered and the distances between them are far. If you rent an electric bike, park the car in one place and rent an electric bike to tour around the island, which costs CNY 20 per hour. It takes about 3 hours to walk around the island😃. Pay attention when checking in👇! Photos: The rock cave at Lotus Sunset is super photogenic, so let the photographer get into the cave and take pictures outside. Clothing: Long dress/slippers/sunglasses, fairies must wear long dresses! Wearing slippers to get into the water is really 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!

Located in Yantai Yangma Island, the home of Yantai Gaoliangju, Haedo Ilgi was a place that showed the standard of what a seaside coffee shop should be like. Right next to the cafe, the clear coastline spread out like a picture, and the white buildings and blue sky, and the brochures placed here and there next to the blue artificial grass seemed to tell the atmosphere of this place.. 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. Address: No.99, Tianma Road, Muping Yantai. #createwithtrip #travellater #yangma #island #islandtravel #sunset #yantai #shandong
