One-day tour of Penglai, Yantai

Arrive in Yantai at 4 o'clock, and you can continue to sleep until dawn on the boat. Please check which dock it is in advance. The wharf of Salvage Bureau is far from the urban area, so it takes about 10 yuan to take a taxi south. The local port pier is one stop to the south; There is a shuttle bus to Penglai at the international passenger station (running water leaves for half an hour), one or two stops to the west, to Ma Bei Road Station or bus terminal, and it takes about an hour to get to Penglai. Go to Penglai, mainly to visit Penglai Pavilion, and to play in the ocean polar world, which is very close. The marine polar world is more distinctive, and it is known as the largest in Asia, better than Dalian Shengya and Qingdao. Don't take a one-day tour, because travel agencies can't take care of the above two scenic spots and will go to many shopping flights and shops. Sanxian Mountain and Baxiandu are man-made scenic spots, which can be seen or not. Have a taste of Penglai noodles for lunch. Time is enough for one day, not far from Penglai Pavilion is the bus station, and you can go back to Yantai at four or five in the afternoon. Yantai city has few historic sites and is suitable for seaside leisure and holiday. It is not bad to spend a day in the urban areas (Yantai Mountain, Moon Bay, East Fort, Changyu Underground Wine Cellar and Yuhuangding).

Let's briefly introduce Yantai: Yantai is one of the few cities in China that faces the sea to the north (the other three are Penglai, Haikou and Keelung). China has a monsoon climate, with the southeast wind blowing wet in summer and the northeast wind blowing dry in winter. Most coastal cities face the sea to the east or south, which makes most cities humid in summer and dry in winter. Yantai is just the opposite. The sea is in the north. The southeast monsoon in summer becomes cool and dry after being blocked and filtered by hills. In winter, a dry cold current blows across the sea, which is warm and snowy and the climate is very pleasant. So when you go to Beidaihe, Qingdao, Xiamen and other cities in summer, you will feel very humid and full of mold, but Yantai is very dry. Therefore, Yantai is the first choice for leaders of many countries to recuperate in summer. Yantai is the birthplace of Shandong cuisine, the only international wine city in Asia, the hometown of fruits in northern China, and the largest gold producing area in China, which is rich in various seafood such as sea cucumber, abalone and swimming crab. Yantai's economic strength currently ranks second in Shandong, the first is Qingdao, and the third is Jinan. Yantai was called Zhifu in ancient times. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang came here three times, and the city was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is an important coastal defense place to resist the Japanese pirates, and is called the strange mountain. Yantai's name comes from "Wolf Yantai" on Yantai Mountain near the city. 1860 opened its port after the Second Opium War and remained the most prosperous city in Shandong until the1940s. Since then, with the opening of Ji Jiao Railway, it gradually declined. It has developed in recent years, winning the UN Habitat Award in 2005 and the National Civilized City in 2005 and 2009. It is the only five social security companies in China. The places to visit are Yuhuangding, Yantai Mountain, Moon Bay, Dongxibao, Changyu Underground Wine Cellar, Tashan Amusement City, Mayang Island, Penglai Pavilion, Ocean Polar World and Xianshan Long Island in the west, and Kunyu Mountain in the east is the birthplace of Taoism.

Yantai buses are all sold without tickets, no matter how many stops, they are all one yuan. The starting price of taxis is 7 yuan, and the downtown area is about 10 yuan.

I am delicious. Let me introduce the delicious food in Yantai: the sea sausage in Yantai is a unique benthic intestinal animal in Yantai, which is not found anywhere else. Very fresh. In the past, the Shandong cuisine master in Beijing used its powder to make monosodium glutamate; At this time, you must eat the special swimming crab that goes to Yantai, which is the fattest time; If you want to be extravagant, order a sea cucumber and abalone. There is a food street on Shangkuang West Road in Zhifu District, and there are some seafood shops and Sichuan restaurants around Fujian Guild Hall. Eating seafood, high-end dishes include mountain village famous dishes, Xinya restaurant, Wanhe and so on. And the mid-range ones are Jinhaiju, Lexus Restaurant, Penglai Spring, Xile Hotel, Jingjing and so on. There are also some small restaurants at the foot of Yantai Mountain, and the Cleeton Hotel opened by Americans when Sun Yat-sen came to smoke. You can also buy some seafood in the market and steam it, which is more affordable. Tourist souvenirs mainly include all kinds of Changyu wine (in underground wine cellar) and dry sea goods.
