🚗Transportation Guide
It is very convenient to take the subway. Take Exit B of "Shangteng Station" on Line 1 and walk for about 10 minutes to arrive. If you choose to travel by bus, you can take the bus to Cangqian Station or Meiwukou Station. Many routes including 105, 115, and 12 pass through here. If you drive yourself, there are parking lots nearby, but there are a lot of people on weekends and parking spaces are tight, so it is recommended to go there as early as possible.
🌟 Tour highlights
Yantai Mountain has preserved a large number of old buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles, including Gothic and Baroque styles. Walking through it, it feels like traveling back to the old times. The Stone House Church is a must-visit place. The stone church is surrounded by green trees and has a full atmosphere. It is very photogenic whether you want to take panoramic or close-up photos. In addition, there are many interesting small shops here, ranging from vintage clothing stores to literary cafes, from creative handmade shops to specialty snack shops. When you are tired of shopping, find a cafe, order a latte, sit by the window, admire the street view, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
🍱Food recommendations
Here, you can taste all kinds of traditional Fuzhou snacks, such as meat dumplings, fish balls, and taro paste, which are delicious and sweet but not greasy. There is a time-honored meat-filled bird's nest shop. The bird's nest skin is super thin, the meat filling is rich, and the soup is delicious. One bowl of it makes people feel very satisfied. There is also a dessert shop that sells taro paste that is delicate and dense, melts in your mouth, and sprinkled with a little sesame seeds, which gives it a fragrant aroma.
⏰Opening hours
Yantai Mountain is open all day. During the day, you can admire the old buildings and feel the historical charm; at night when the lights come on, it is a lively scene again, and many small shops will be open until 9 or 10 pm.
❗Notes
There are more people on weekends and holidays, so you may need to wait in line to take photos. Please take care of old buildings and do not carve them casually. When shopping in small shops, pay attention to prices to avoid unnecessary trouble.
