My friends said that you must eat seafood when you come to Yantai, but I came here alone and really didn’t want to eat seafood, so I found a local specialty snack to taste. My friend recommended me to eat Penglai Xiaomian. There are actually many stores in Penglai, but there are not many stores in Yantai where you can eat Penglai Xiaomian. This store is considered to be a relatively authentic Penglai Xiaomian.
My friend said that you must eat a bowl of Penglai noodles when you come to Yantai. Although I ate a bowl of noodles in Penglai, I didn't feel it was very authentic, so I searched nearby and found this store.
The store is not large, but you can feel that it is an old store. After ordering at the front desk and sitting there, the boss will personally bring a bowl of hot noodles to you. This service must be praised.
The portion of noodles is quite large. Even if you eat the soup and noodles together, a big boy can also eat it. With an egg, it tastes perfect, but it might be better if the egg is a tea egg.
When ordering, the boss specifically explained that this is delicious noodles for their locals, but outsiders may not be able to get used to it, but I feel it's okay after eating it. It's worth recommending. After all, it's a local delicacy.

The history of the famous Sanheyuan Dumplings can be traced back to Dingji Dumpling House, which opened in 1939. The name is taken from the meaning of the Three Brothers of Peach Garden. It is the real king of local dumplings. The dumplings of Sanheyuan Dumpling House are made of exquisite ingredients, with thick soup, thin skin, large fillings and rich flavors.
Sanheyuan dumplings are a famous local delicacy in Yantai. Many tourists will go there to taste them after visiting Yantai. The dumplings in Sanheyuan have chewy skin, large size and rich fillings. The dumplings with local seafood fillings are the most delicious. Spanish mackerel dumplings and sea cucumber dumplings are the most delicious. You must eat them every time you go to Yantai. If there are few people and you want to taste several other flavors at once (recommended shrimp, sea cucumber, and yellow croaker), you can choose 6 kinds of dumplings in the whole family, totaling 36. Sanheyuan not only has delicious dumplings, but also cold dishes. Crispy melon and pickled radish are both good side dishes. The only drawback is that because it is in the downtown area, there are too few parking spaces at the door.

You must eat Penglai noodles when you go to Penglai!
This Jianxing restaurant was also introduced by the locals. It has the flavor of the market and only serves breakfast and lunch every day!
Penglai noodles at 3 yuan a bowl is really a good deal. You can choose sea urchin, scallop, oyster and clear soup. The price of seafood here is too affordable!
I chose scallop noodles. There are several scallops in it. Penglai noodles are thickened with starch. It is very delicious. Love it!
Passing by Penglai, I went to the polar region to play for a morning. My father said that if you want to eat authentic Penglai noodles, you have to come to the old noodle house. There was a long line in the morning. A bowl of fish stew noodles costs 4 yuan, and scallops and oysters only cost 3 yuan. However, I still think that fish stew noodles are the most classic. There are also noodles with fish, tea eggs, and fried cakes. It costs 12 yuan for two people.

Nanhong Street is a snack street, very down-to-earth!
I wanted to eat grilled cold noodles. The first time I went to Suan Ge during the day, there was no stall. Then I went again at night. There was a queue at his place. There are always more people!
The boss grilled cold noodles, and the boss's wife added ingredients according to the taste of the customers. They all took notes. They cooperated well. It was amazing that 5 people could do it together!
It was the first time I ate grilled cold noodles. The taste of eggs and enoki mushrooms was sweet and sour. It was also good to add a grilled sausage. It was delicious when eaten hot!
I've given up on Yantai. It's just... too beautiful.
Family, I unilaterally declare that Yantai is my second home! I've been fooled so many times by the beautiful scenery online. This time, I went to Yantai, thinking it was just another photo op. But once I got there, I was completely speechless! 😭
🏝️ Recommended Attractions
1. Yantai Mountain: This is a photo op! The lighthouse overlooks the entire Yantai, with red tiles, green trees, azure sea and sky—every spot is a great photo op. The consulate complex is full of European style. Wear a mini dress and you'll be the most stylish person on your social media! (Admission is free, but climbing to the top of the lighthouse is 10 yuan.)
2. Yangma Island: The "Little Maldives of the North" is truly a cliché! Rent an electric scooter and cycle around the island, feeling the sea breeze on your face—it's so relaxing! Take photos of cave silhouettes at sunset at Lotus Island, the red wooden plank road on Zhang Island is incredibly atmospheric, and there's also the stunning Island Diary Café. (Free)
3. Changdao: A must-see for the ocean! The sunset at Jiuzhang Cliff is breathtakingly beautiful, and the pebbles at Crescent Bay are a dazzling array of colors (though you can't take them away, or you'll be fined). Staying at a fishing lodge and enjoying freshly caught seafood is a true life experience! (Boat ticket 45 yuan/person)
4. Golden Beach: The "Lonely Whale" sculpture is truly legendary. Go at sunrise when the crowds are minimal and the scenery is stunning, making any photo op a truly stunning experience. Located in the Development Zone's Urban Exhibition Center, the drone view is even more breathtaking! (Free)
🍱 Food Recommendations
1. Mong Kok Fishing Village: The sea cucumber rice is a must-try; it's so delicious it'll make your eyebrows drop. The spicy stir-fried abalone is sold individually—a real abalone indulgence!
2. Yanda Snack Street: A student paradise, with Master's pan-fried dumplings and Sour Brother grilled cold noodles, you'll have to eat until you're done.
3. Dongsheng Filled Dumplings: Sea urchin and sea cucumber soup dumplings, bursting with broth—a carb-loving favorite. 4. Penglai Jianxing Noodle House: 4 yuan a bowl of scallop noodles, generous portions, and excellent value.
🚗 Transportation Guide
1. Yantai doesn't have a subway, so taxis are very convenient, typically getting you between attractions for under 30 yuan.
2. For Yangma Island and Changdao Island, it's recommended to charter a car or join a day tour for hassle-free travel.
3. For shared electric bikes, look for the "Yantai Little Red Cars" for convenient transportation around the city.
📌 Accommodation Recommendations
1. In the city, choose the Wanda Business District in Zhifu District for convenient dining and transportation.
2. Stay in an island B&B on Yangma Island for a breathtaking view of the sea.
3. Stay on the South Island of Changdao Island for more complete amenities.
💡 Tips for Avoiding Scams
1. When buying seafood at the market, remember to dig holes for drainage, otherwise you might get ripped off. 2. Choose restaurants recommended by taxi drivers carefully. Don't ask me how I know 😭
3. Seafood prices will be higher from May to September when the sea is closed.
Yantai truly has so many hidden gems. This trip completely exceeded my expectations! Hey guys, don't hesitate, just go for it!

This local specialty restaurant is quite famous in the local area. Because of the large portions and good taste of the dishes, it is very popular among diners. I also ate here once after a friend recommended it to me.
The noodles in this noodle shop are very delicate and taste good. I love eating noodles. No matter where I go, I will have noodles for one meal. The noodles in this noodle shop are really delicious!

The last meal before leaving Yantai, let's go to Dongsheng grouting buns!
It's a recommendation from old Yantai people who have eaten it since childhood. It's full of people as soon as the night market opens. It's really popular. You need to wait for the steamed buns to be steamed!
I was tangled up for a while. I wanted to eat grouting buns and Haizhen hot bread. One basket is very large!
Haizhen hot bread, full of seafood fillings, including sea intestines, scallops and shrimps, is really satisfying. Friends who like seafood can't miss it!
Dongsheng grouting buns, this can be bought separately, and the grouting buns are delicious while hot!
Brain rice, tried the local specialty brain rice, which is a bit of a hodgepodge, salty, and perfect with buns!
Authentic Yantai old brand, founded in 1972, it is not easy to persist until now, and what is even more rare is that it is better than before. You can tell that the boss uses real ingredients, and the environment is hygienic! Very clean! It is worth a visit in Yantai! Be sure to come early, it is normal to queue for this restaurant, so make plans early!
