Yantai Yangma Island｜Step into a Healing Island Straight Out of a Miyazaki Manga

🌊【Yantai Yangma Island｜Step into a Healing Island Straight Out of a Miyazaki Manga】🌊 This summer, make sure to come to Yangma Island for a blue romantic rendezvous! Jelly Sea, red boardwalk, lonely tree… every spot looks like a spilled palette, and every snap is a movie poster!✨ 📍Must-visit photo spots: 1. Zhang Island Red Boardwalk: Stand on the winding red wooden boardwalk with the glowing blue Jelly Sea behind you. The collision of rocks and waves creates layers. It’s recommended to wear a white long dress for photos to maximize the atmosphere! Nearby are balloon swings and camping chairs, perfect for capturing a fresh Japanese-style vibe. 2. Yishou Road Leading to the Sea: Navigate directly here. A cement road stretches toward the horizon where sea meets sky, flanked by lush pine forests. Use a telephoto lens to capture the healing feeling of “the road ending at the sea.” 3. Lotus Sunset Glow: A must-visit at sunset! Orange dusk spreads across the sea, with a lonely tree, a popular cave, and the island diary cabin forming a cinematic scene. Remember to bring a reflector for extra lighting. 4. Qin Feng Cliff Roman Columns: The pure white arched corridor feels like a journey to ancient Rome. Stand on the viewing platform with the sea as your backdrop for a high-end photo shoot. 5. New Seaside Photo Frame: A newly upgraded photo spot for 2025, wooden frames are set up at sea erosion caves, Houhai Station, and other attractions, framing the blue sea and sky perfectly—ideal for silhouette shots. 🚗Transportation Guide: - Self-driving: About 1 hour from Fushan. The island’s ring road allows you to stop and play freely. It’s recommended to arrive before 8 AM to avoid crowds. Electric scooters can be rented at Tianma Square/Bridge entrance (65-80 RMB/day) for an easy island tour. - Public Transport: Take bus 37 from Fushan Station to “Yantai Bus Terminal,” then transfer to bus 61 directly to Tianma Square (about 1.5 hours). Renting an electric scooter after getting off offers more flexibility. 🦞Seafood Delicacies: - Changshun Garden: A local hidden gem! The spicy seafood hotpot piles up like a mountain, with crabs, shrimp, and shellfish so fresh you’ll stomp your feet; the sea intestine rice is a must-order—crispy and tender sea intestines coated in sauce, perfect with rice! Address: No. 135, Longhu Putai Commercial Street, Binhai East Road, Muping District. - Xinyang Restaurant: Affordable and fresh, the warm scallops are sour and spicy to whet your appetite, and the mackerel dumplings burst with juice in every bite. Around 50 RMB per person to eat until full (near Tianma Square). - Muping Barbecue: Recommended “leg meat skewers,” crispy outside and tender inside with rich flavor, perfect with cold beer on summer nights! Visit Muping Barbecue Courtyard to experience the lively atmosphere. 🏨Unique Accommodations: - Qinhai Hotel: Frontline sea view rooms with sunrise views from the window, 180° floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea, rooms equipped with latex mattresses and projection screens. The seawater bathing beach is right downstairs, and Zhang Island is a 5-minute walk away. - Rongma Inn: Vintage kang bed rooms with great character, 168 RMB for 2 days for 4 people, free sea-harvesting tools and kitchen provided, backyard full of vegetables, 10-minute walk to Lotus Sunset Glow. - Bushe Homestay: Renovated ancient building with courtyard lawn for camping, viewing platform for sunset with a healing vibe, rooms retain old tile roof truss structure, full of artistic charm. ⚠️Helpful Tips: 1. Best time to view Jelly Sea: sunny days + high tide (refer to tide table, high tide on July 13 at 11:18 AM, afternoon sea is bluer). 2. Must-have for sea harvesting: rain boots, small shovel. Recommended black mudflats on both sides of Yangma Island Bridge, digging crabs and collecting shells after tide retreat is super fun. 3. Sun protection gear: sunglasses, hat, high SPF sunscreen, UV rays are very strong by the sea! 4. Parking guide: Tianma Square and seawater bathing beach parking lots are free, but spaces are tight during peak season. It’s recommended to arrive early or park outside the island and take a shuttle bus in. 🎵Summer Limited Event: On July 13-14, the Yantai-Weihai Tourism Distribution Center will host the 【Tide Shore Light Ballad Yangma Sound Story】 street concert. Listen to the sea breeze and music intertwine under the sunset, starting a romantic summer night! Follow “Yantai Culture and Tourism Release” for the latest performance info. This summer, come to Yangma Island for a date with the sea! Save this guide, bring your camera and appetite, and let’s pack summer into albums and memories together～📸
