It’s your first time to Yantai. Just read this super detailed guide.

📝Note tips: 1. There is a lot of traffic on the non-motorized vehicle lane, it is a two-way bicycle lane, the ring road is a winding mountain road, and it is a one-way street, so riding an electric vehicle is not recommended. 2 Riding an electric donkey from the city to Yangma Island is a pitfall. It is not as close as imagined. It takes 40-50 minutes to drive there. 3 Lonely Whale - Yangma Island is not suitable for a one-day trip. It looks like 50 kilometers, but it actually spans 5 areas and is not as close as imagined. 4 Each zone lasts 20 minutes. If there are many people, it is recommended to book 7 seats. 5 Chaoyang Street Location: You can take No. 61 and No. 17 double-decker buses at Chaoyang Street bus stop. 6 The First Beach is a place where you can watch the sunset and is also a very busy beach in the old town. 7 Moon Bay is a place for praying, just pass by and take a look 8. It is not recommended to take a ticket to the Seal Bay at East Fort, which is where you feed the seals. 9 Fisherman's Wharf Spirited Away's same railroad tracks into the sea, located at the Blue Sky Hotel, don't mess with your mother-in-law, be aware that there is a lot of moss on the railroad tracks at low tide, don't wear slippers or walk barefoot as it is slippery 10. Haichang Whale Shark Pavilion charges a fee. If you are not interested in marine life or have been to an oceanarium, you don't have to go. 11 Binhai Middle Road is the road along the entire coastline. Don't locate Binhai Middle Road! Locate Chijia Bus Station or Xincheng North Street Bus Station. 7:30-9:00 am, 11:00-1:00 pm, and 6:00-7:30 pm. Please be careful when taking photos. There is a lot of traffic during peak hours, so don't rush on the road and try to avoid peak hours. 12 Don't walk barefoot on the beach or reefs, as it is easy to be cut by stones or other foreign objects. It is recommended to wear thick-soled shoes. 13 The highest point of Jelly Sea, the lowest point of the sea The best time to go to Yangma Island is 2-3 hours before and after the sea 14 Chaoyang Street Suochengli or Seaside Cafe. It is not recommended to go to the beach to take pictures. 15 The weather is changeable, so just check it 2 days in advance. 1 6 Don’t come too late to see the lonely whales in June. You can watch the sunrise at 4:30, or come before 9 o’clock, otherwise there will be a lot of people. 17 In June, there is seaweed on the Golden Beach and the shore is green. It is recommended to come to Laishan where there are many beaches. 18 You must have a car to stay at Golden Beach. If you take a taxi, the distance is very far.

Haichang Fisherman's Wharf I think this should be the most beautiful building complex in Yantai. The row of European-style buildings on the seaside looks really impressive from a distance. 3. Pearl of the Yellow Sea At the end of the road is a white seaside watchtower, which is... no less than any seaside city. 4. Yantai Mountain There is an observation tower on the top of the mountain, from which you can overlook the panoramic view of the old city of Yantai, with a superb view of the sea and sky. 5. Xincheng North Street My favorite seaside road in Yantai. At the end of the road is the endless sea. Just passing by and taking a picture is a great movie. If you have enough time, you must go to Yangma Island, rent a small electric donkey and ride on the beach to experience the romance of Yantai, a small seaside city. 🏨Accommodation recommendation: 1 Near Yantai University: The hotels, apartments and homestays nearby are cost-effective. There are many cheap and delicious foods here. The transportation is convenient.
