First Night in Yantai
The hotel was booked at the Best Western. It was actually only a few stops from the bus station to the BEST WESTERN HOTEL, but the traffic and our large luggage was exhausting. Checked in and went to the Esplanade for the night view.
The people at the beach were still happy. At night, they cooled off facing the sea, kids dug for shells, and old aunts had a great square dance.
As usual, two people can't order much, but we were flattered that the restaurant we just found had excellent service. With fish this enchanting, it was worth taking pictures of, even if it wasn't good.
Seafood Temptation
Eat seafood, then come and play, wake up naturally in the morning, and visit the sites after lunch. The perfect trip, of course, is to have delicious seafood for lunch.
Shandong people must use the pot to serve shells.
Local flavor is all miscellaneous fish with cakes, but too many spines, give up.
Oysters are delicious.
Sea sausage is also a favorite, especially in Shanghai.
Sea urchin fried rice
Penglai Pavilion
Take a look at the inevitable 5A tourist attraction in Yantai. Generally 5A can't be separated from the architectural, natural and humanistic additions, and Penglai Pavilion has all these elements. Song Dynasty Penglai Pavilion, Huang Bo's two seas divided, the legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea are all here. But to be honest, the scenic area is too big for half a day's stroll, and the only thing that made a bit of an impression on me was the Tianheng Mountain Scenic Area.
In a meal of seafood
Evening continue to eat, corruption trip is always happy.
First a pot of crab.
And then a bunch of shrimp.
The octopus here is a grand introduction, delicious and tender, talking about the taste of teeth.
Break up the breakup of the pippin shrimp that you can not forget to take away.
Early sunrise
Maybe I just can't get tired of looking at it. Yes, I got up at 4am to see another sunrise.
Unlike the sunrise in Weihai, there was no red sun and the clouds were too big, but the sunrise filled the sky and was more of a surprise.
A bunch of fishermen envy those who live by the sea.
Yantai Mountain
It's really very refreshing. Before I came to Yantai, I didn't expect much from the 5A scenic spot Penglaige. After all, I have been fooled a lot of 5A in my life. Yantai Mountain was looking forward to. Maybe it's the fond memories from the small park in Qingdao. Sure enough there is a mountain park by the sea, really fresh and beautiful.
Three sides of the Yantai Mountain, surrounded by the sea, was once the seat of the consulates of 17 countries such as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Japan and so on, and you can know its beautiful scenery and left behind an exotic flavor. There are mountains, sea and buildings, now the past into a wonderful place.
Replica of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen
Climbing this tower costs extra, but it's worth the trip. Overlooking the harbor is a special fairy tale.
