Mayang Island is located in Yantai City, Shandong Province, also known as Elephant Island. Legend has it that it was named after Qin Shihuang raised horses here. Mayang Island is a national 4A-level scenic spot with beautiful environment, beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is called "Oriental Hawaii". There are buses around the island, and you can also rent a car by car on the island in various ways, which is convenient for playing.

Mayang Island Mayang Island is an island in Muping District, Yantai City, Shandong Province. Located 9 kilometers north of Muping District, with an area of 13.52 square kilometers. Mayang Island, also known as Elephant Island, was named after the legend that Qin Shihuang raised horses here during his eastern tour. Mayang Island is the northern barrier of Muping Port and the first-class fishery area in Muping District.

Mayang Island is called "Oriental Hawaii" because of its beautiful mountains and seas and pleasant climate. Tourism development began in 1980. There are many scenic spots on the island, such as racetrack and bathing beach, and there are more than 40 special and public convalescent reception facilities. It is a comprehensive tourist resort integrating sports, entertainment and seaside leisure. By 2008, it will become a national AAAA tourist attraction in China.

The most interesting places on Mayang Island are Zhang Dao and Qinfeng Cliff. Zhang Dao is a mahogany plank road, and several winding wooden plank roads extend all the way to the boulder by the sea. It's a good place to shoot portraits, and you can shoot big movies. It was a bit windy on the day I went, so the sea was not so clear. Usually, the water in Mayang Island is very clear.

The iconic statue of Mayang Island is on the cliff of Qinfeng, with seven galloping horses and a straight wooden plank road leading to two pavilions at sea.

The bathing beach is located at the southeast end of Mayang Island, not far from Tianma Square. The sand is fine and the water quality is clear, which is better than the bathing beach in Yantai city. You can swim in the sea when the weather is warm.

Tianma Square is located at the entrance of Mayang Island. The parking lot and bus stop are here. There are sculptures such as Qin Shihuang and Tianma in the square.

There are also some beautiful roads on the island, especially those that can see the sea, which are very suitable for taking pictures.

Many Yantai locals went to Mayang Island to go to sea, all of which were sent by others. If they want to go fishing, they need to bring their own shovels and buckets after the low tide, about 6: 30, which are expensive to sell on the island.

About the transportation on the island, there are buses around Ma Yang Island, 18/ person, and there are about six or seven stops. In addition to the bus island around the island, you can also drive, rent a car and rent a battery car on the island, but don't consider walking and cycling. The distance around the circle is not short, and there are many uphill and downhill roads on the island, so cycling will be very tiring.

It is not recommended to drive to the island in the peak season. The island is a one-way street, which is very prone to traffic jams. I am optimistic that many people recommend renting a battery car, which is much more convenient than the bus around the island. After all, the bus is only a few stops, so you can't see the beautiful scenery and come down to take pictures.

There are also taxis or Didi on the island, but the number is small. If you take a taxi, tell the driver to go straight to Houhai. Basically, the scenery is in Houhai, and the driver will understand. When you arrive at Ruyi Island, you will go to Houhai.

Matters needing attention in Mayang Island 1. Avoid windy days. When the wind is strong, the sea will not be blue. This principle applies to all sea watching. I went on a windy day, and my experience and scenery were greatly reduced.

In addition, you can look at the tide table of the day before you go. It is best to take pictures of the sea at high tide to avoid seeing the whole scene of the reef.

There are not many public toilets on the island because they have not been developed before. I only know that there are toilets near Tianma Square and the bathing place, but I don't know about other places.

There is not much food on the island, and seafood may be more expensive than downtown. It is recommended to bring your own food.

How to get there:

During the peak season, Yantai Station has a tourist shuttle bus to Mayang Island. In the off-season, you can take 6 1 to Mu Ping, and then take 6 17 from Mu Ping to Mayang Island.

Here is a better plan to go to the island. In the peak season, there is a tourist shuttle bus directly to Mayang Island. If it is the off-season, take the 6 1 bus to Mu Ping, and then take the 6 17 bus from Mu Ping to Mayang Island, which is actually a lot of wrong buses. You can get off at Longhu Holiday Hotel Station in front of Mu Ping Bus Station at 6 1 Bus Station, which is less than 10 yuan.

Admission: no, the round-the-island bus 18/ person. Mayang Island was closed for a period of time on May 1 day this year. It is said that there will be a charge after it is repaired. Please pay attention.
