Yantai Travel Guide

Yantai is a city on the coast which is as beautiful as a fairy tale. Here there are blue seas, white sands, clear waters, and green waves everywhere. It is a great place to beat the summer heat and play in the waves. Step into the Penglai Pavilion to see the birthplace legend of the eight immortals crossing the sea; climb atop Zhifu Island, where the traces of the Emperor Qin Shihuang’s visit more than 2,000 years ago still remain; walk on the streets of Yantai to the completely preserved foreign consulates of the modern era, where foreign architecture and the feel of the mountains and sea merge as one. Yantai's Zhangyu wine enjoys domestic and foreign renown and at the Zhangyu Wine Culture Museum you can learn about the development and history of Zhangyu wine and sample fine wines. The sweet Yantai apples are also a great gift to bring back for friends and relatives.

#timetotravel 🏔🥾👣Kunyu Mountain - October 2020 Enjoying hiking 🥾 with nature. I had an amazing time here with my friends. If you are someone who likes hiking or trekking, this is a great place for you to visit. 💵💰The place is basically free, but if you want to take the shuttle bus to the top, you have to pay for it and if I remember correctly, it only costs 10 yuan per person. #china #Shandong #yantaicity #mupingdistrict #kunyumountain #timetotravel #instatravel #trip

botanicalgardens
Yantai Botanical Garden is located away from the urban area of Yantai. The garden is surrounded by empty land, so it's best to bring your own food as no stores around. This place is designed especially for picnic-lover just bring literally everything for the picnic. Its serene atmosphere with the smell of fresh flowers, our picnic mat on the grass, chilling under the midday sun with the birds singing, made our day in the Botanical Garden indelible. Address: 99FR+7HC, Laiyuan Rd, Lai Shan Qu, Yan Tai Shi, Shan Dong Sheng, China, 264080 #botanicalgardens #picnics #yantai #chinatrips

Wencheng Castle is located next to Yanpeng Tourist Avenue. It is composed of European architectural elements, mainly in Baroque style and precious travertine as the main building material, reflecting the aristocratic atmosphere. Surrounded by a moat, it is filled with sea water, where sea cucumbers and abalones can be raised, and people can play and row boats, which is very cool. it is only 4 storeys Frame it’s just like the castle in cinderella. The trapezoidal and conical roofs on both sides are interspersed with each other. Catering can be provided on the first and second floors of the castle, the third floor is for guest rooms, and the fourth floor can be used as a meeting place. Among them, the 20-meter-high oval hall on the second floor of the interior is magnificent, making people feel as if they have entered a sacred palace. For the wine lover guess what is in the basement . Ps it’s only open from 8 until 5 pm it’s pretty far away from shift district which is the city center so go early, it’s located by the sea so it gets very cool being some long sleeve #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #beachlife #china #shandong #yantai

Mysterious at night, beautiful during the day - castle hotel. Yantai Wencheng Castle Filming location of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" Live and work, pay for filming (if needed), come stay and see. Hotel room design is very Baroque, I like the three windows facing the sea. At night it's a bit creepy, we'll check in at 20:00. There's no one at the reception desk in the lobby and not all the lights are on. It's quite suitable for filming in the dimness. We'll each have our own room on the first night. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night and will be woken up by the beautiful sunrise over the sea in the morning. During the day, the castle suddenly becomes kind and not scary anymore. There are also two small castles next to the castle for filming. The hotel introduction states that the castle was built with an investment of 600 million RMB by Mr. Li Wencheng, and the staff inside the castle hotel are deaf-mute people who have followed the boss for many years and work very conscientiously and responsibly. Yantai's sunset is really beautiful!! Overall, this place is suitable for experiencing and filming. If you enjoy the service of a large hotel, it is not recommended to stay here. You can join a day tour instead.

I am an aviation technician and just a big fan (enthusiast) and I love plane spotting and this time I decided to go for a solo spotting at Yantai Penglai international airport. I woke up early in the morning then order a taxi which took me to Guojia village. Then I was walking for about 20 minutes trough the village till I got to the runway of the Airport. Unfortunately the runway in use wasn’t the one that is next to the village 😞 also as you can see in the picture it was a cloudy day so, I wasn’t able to actually take any pictures 😏 Still I was pretty satisfied by my “adventure” as there where a few very interesting buildings in the village and nearby + at least I saw a few takeoffs 🛫 IG: edgarmesropyan Aviation IG: emaviation #passionpassport #yantai #penglai #airport #airportintravel #village #aviation #aviationlove #aviationspotter #plane
