I thought Yangma Island was beautiful enough! Until I went here.

Yantai is more than just Yangma Island. This time, I took my friend Yi Yi to Yantai for the second time and took a super niche route that only locals love. My route: 3 days and 2 nights Day 1: Xiyanghe Ancient Village, Xianghai Forest Park (Xianghai Beach), Nanshan Scenic Area Day 2: Libeng Island, North China Sea Park, Yuniao Lotus Park, Xin'an Bridge (with pink shell beach), Fisherman's Wharf Day 3: Shanhai Trail, Cishan Hot Spring Town, Hot Spring, Yantai Airport X [What to do]? Yuniao Lotus Park: In early winter, the leaves are colorful, and there are many bald cypresses, which are bright red and photogenic! [Two] Xin'an Bridge: No need to drive across the bridge, you can go down to the beach on the left, where there are many pink shells! There are also many seagulls that can stop by the roadside. Remember to go in the afternoon! You can only pick them up when the tide is low! [Three] North China Sea Park: The ships docked at the port are a bit like those abroad. The piano, church, and natural scenery are perfectly combined. Under the clear sky and white clouds, it feels like walking into an anime, and opposite is Yangma Island. [Four] Longhu Libeng Island: The colorful Monument Valley and the swing by the sea are very photogenic. It is windy in winter, so keep warm. [Five] Fisherman's Wharf: There are many European-style buildings, and the photos taken in the afternoon are more photogenic. You don't need to go to Fisherman's Wharf to take photos. Huli Coffee or Yumeiren Square is better for taking photos with a telephoto lens. Huli Coffee is also very beautiful, but it is usually full in the afternoon. There are children's amusement facilities next to Yumeiren Square, which is suitable for children. [Six] Nanshan Tourist Area: Nanshan Scenic Area is very large, divided into the front and back mountains. It is recommended to buy tickets for the sightseeing bus. The essence of the scenic spots is concentrated in the front mountain. Take a stroll and feel your soul purified. ▲ [Seven] Xianghai Forest Park: You can visit the park, play with sand on the beach, and watch the sea. If you go in the right season, there will be a sea of flowers! The distance is very close, and it is a good place for locals to take their children. [Eight] Cishan Hot Spring Town: After a day's journey, soak in the hot spring, and the fatigue will disappear instantly. [Transportation Yantai Airport, then self-driving is more convenient. [Where to stay]: [One] Yunxinhai Homestay: Located in Zhifu District, there is a vast sea outside the window. Looking at the blue sea in a daze is super relaxing. [Two] Longkou Hotel: Very clean and cost-effective. After a day of shopping, it is perfect to sleep peacefully. [What to eat]: In the morning, you can go to Muping Beicui Market, where there are fresh seafood, which you can buy and process at home.
