Yantai Kongtong Island

1. Yantai Kongtong Island

There is a boat from Taiping Bay to Kongtong Island, departing at 9:30 am and returning to Yantai at 4:00 pm! Round trip fare is 50 yuan/person. Generally, medium and large cruise ships sail! The island is now a park. Looks like you need a ticket. Only the scenery on the island is better. The sea water is relatively clear, so I can't say there is anything fun there. It just feels like returning to nature.

There are hotels on the island, but they are not cheap, haha.

2. How to drive from Xi’an to Kongtong Mountain

Kongtong Mountain is in Pingliang, Gansu. It takes an hour by bus from the bus station next to Xi'an to Pingliang Railway Station. There is a bus almost every half hour. Bus No. 13 opposite Pingliang Bus Station costs 2 yuan to Kongtong Xiahou. Tickets are 120 yuan, and fares range from 20 yuan to central Taiwan. It takes 15 minutes to drive and the climb should take less than an hour.

There is no severe heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, and the four seasons are distinct. It is called Long Shangxiao Jiangnan. The hottest summer is July, with the highest temperature ever recorded at 38°C. The coldest winter is January, with the lowest temperature reaching minus 19 degrees Celsius and more rainfall than in western Gansu.

In the winter of 2010-2010, the scenery of Kongtong Mountain was unique. If you are upset and want to go to a quiet place, Kongtong Mountain is undoubtedly an excellent choice. There has been occasional light snow in Pingliang recently. I'm afraid this mountain is already covered in snow, so it should be particularly charming. And the tickets are half price in winter, which is a good choice.
