Walking along the coast, I passed Dongshan Pier, Moon Bay, and East Fort, each offering stunning sea views. The highlight? Watching the sunset at Fisherman’s Wharf—golden skies melting into the ocean, pure magic! 🌅 ✨ Day 2 – Hidden Gems & Beach Walks I kicked off the morning at Tianma Pier & Lonely Whale, two dreamy seaside spots. Then, I headed to Yantai University and strolled along Binhai Middle Road, where the soft sandy beach was perfect for relaxing. Bonus: If you go during low tide, you can even dig for fresh clams! 🏖️ 💡 Final Thoughts Yantai is underrated yet absolutely worth visiting. No crazy crowds, super walkable, and cheaper than Qingdao or Weihai. Plus, public transport & shared bikes make getting around a breeze. Oh, and you must try sea worm rice—weirdly delicious! 🤤 #naturalwonders #familytravel

Penglai Trip - Shandong Yantai Nanny-level Tour Small brush's Play background: Because many worries are weighing on my mind, I decided to open the flight booking page and see if there are any suitable flights. I want to go on a trip that I can just pack up and leave. When I saw Yantai, my eyes lit up and a clear blue sea appeared before me in an instant. Decision made! Let's go! Travel guide: Take a direct flight ✈️ to Penglai Airport and then take a bus 🚌 outside the airport to the city. There will be a patient uncle asking where you want to go, which is very thoughtful. My planned route is to travel through Yantai district in a straight line. As follows: 1. Penglai District - Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area ↓ 2. Zhifu District Zhifu Bay Square (Advantage: You can see the small pier with Yantai characteristics) →Chaoyang Street, Zhongshuge (Advantage: perfect for taking photos of handsome men and beautiful women 📸) →Yantai Mountain Scenic Area (Advantages: You can see the standing lighthouse and Bingxin Exhibition Hall) →In the city (advantages: ancient and quaint old streets) →Hongkou 1920 Block (Advantages: The big white rabbit at the entrance and the background of the working people caught my eye, but otherwise it's average) →First Seaside Bathing Beach (Advantages: Beach, Sea, Breeze, Sunset) →Travel the world↓(Advantages: Same as above) 3. Laishan District Fisherman's Wharf (Advantage: Watching the sunset on the beach while sitting) →Yantai Natural Museum↓ (Advantage: Experience the wonders of nature) 4. Muping District Yangma Island - (Advantages: The sea is really beautiful, shouting towards the sea is very stress-relieving.) (The electric scooter on the island needs to be paid 15 yuan for each sweep, and it can only be returned at a designated return point. Otherwise, a fee of 25 yuan will be charged for moving the scooter, don't ask me how I know. It's all tears 😭) On the first day, stay in the development zone and choose the hotel location based on the pace of your sightseeing. During peak season, hotels may be fully booked, so it's necessary to make reservations in advance. During off-season, there's no need to make reservations in advance, you can book wherever you play. On the second day, we stayed in Laishan District. Little Brush recommended the Gesanghua Kai Hotel 🏨, which was really clean. The staff were also patient and friendly. On the third day, stay in Muping District. Because Yantai is very large, it is really convenient to take the bus 🚌 between different districts for sightseeing. I suggest everyone take the bus, which can be found on the Alipay travel page. Open a Yantai Yikatong card, and you can swipe it on all the sightseeing buses. 🚌Bus route: To get from Penglai Airport to the city center, take Airport Bus Line 2-209 to Jinhaitan Beach Park. From Jinshatan Seaside Park to Zhifu Bay Square, take bus route 28. From Zhifu Bay Square to Chaoyang Street, you can take bus No. 18, 61, 17, 3, or 11. Afterwards, choose the bus flexibly according to your own pace of play and location.
