Located at the northern end of the city, it integrates mountains, sea, city and port. It is a mountain and sea view park surrounded by sea on three sides and is also a landmark scenic spot in Yantai.
There are consulates, foreign companies and numerous villas in and around the scenic area, making it the only best-preserved and most densely packed modern foreign consulate complex in Asia.
The lighthouse on the top of the mountain is the highest point in Yantai City. You can take the elevator in the lighthouse to the 11th floor observation deck, where you can overlook the sea, the coastline and the city scenery. It feels great.
Under the lighthouse is the beacon tower, where there will be a live performance of soldiers dressed in Ming Dynasty costumes holding torches and lighting beacon smoke, which is very exciting.

Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is a unique landscape integrating seaside natural scenery, port culture, cultural relics, humanistic and natural landscapes, and exotic customs. It is a combination of mountains, sea, city, and port. It condenses the vicissitudes of Yantai's history of more than 600 years and is an important birthplace and symbol of Yantai history. [1] Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is famous for its wolf tower, lighthouse, and Western-style buildings of foreign consulates.

It also has the only best-preserved and most densely packed modern foreign consulates in Asia.
Yantai Mountain is a famous scenic spot, with a very good geographical location, surrounded by the sea on three sides. There are many consulates here, and the former site of the American Consulate is now a coffee shop, which is quite interesting. The park is very green, even though it is late winter, the plants are still green. There are many stray cats in the park, all of them are very beautiful, but they are timid and afraid of people.
It is a landmark scenic spot in Yantai, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national scenic spot, and a national key cultural relic protection unit. Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is a unique landscape that integrates the natural scenery of the seaside, the culture of the opening of the port, cultural relics, human and natural landscapes, and exotic customs. It integrates the mountains, seas, cities, and ports. It condenses the vicissitudes of Yantai's history of more than 600 years and has the only most complete and densely preserved modern foreign consulates in Asia. This attraction is free of charge, but if you bring the elderly and children, it is recommended to take a battery car, which costs 15 yuan per person for a round trip to save energy. The route is from the park gate to the lighthouse on the mountain, and you can wait for the car at the lighthouse gate on the return trip.
There are consulates, foreign companies and numerous villas in and around the Yantai Mountain Scenic Area, making it the only best-preserved and most densely populated group of modern foreign consulates in Asia. It is a bit like the Badaguan Scenic Area in Qingdao, but it is built on the mountain, with the mountain, sea, city and port connected as one. If you stroll around slowly, you can learn a lot about modern history. The word you see most often is "Kaifu".
It is a free scenic spot, but surprisingly worth a visit. The scenic spot is not big, suitable for family visits, and the scenery is definitely worth seeing. There is a paid lighthouse inside, and you can go up and see it for ten yuan! Conscientious attractions
The only place I really want to recommend in Yantai is here. I have taken many photos here that I think are good. Yantai Mountain should be said to have witnessed the historical development of Yantai. It brings together the architectural styles of various developed countries after World War II, which is very representative of the time. The current scenic area only includes some of the European-style buildings. The straight street opposite the entrance of the scenic area is also very lively in the evening, with bars, food, etc. Yantai Mountain is not big, but its vision is very wide. The surrounding archipelagos are in full view, Zhifu Island on the opposite bank, Yantai Port at your feet, and the isolated Kongtong Island. The lighthouse, the Centennial Holly Corridor, the Relang Pavilion, and the embassies of various countries will definitely make you sigh a lot.

2024.9.7 If you come to Yantai, you must visit Yantai Mountain. It has beautiful scenery, a long history, and is a free scenic spot. It is great to watch the sea and take pictures.
The 5 o'clock flight ✈️ finally arrived at Penglai Airport after three hours, 🚗 and took a Didi for more than 20 minutes to the city 🏢, found a homestay near the sea 🏠, ate something and took some medicine at noon, and slept until nearly 5 o'clock. I heard that Yantai would stop fishing, and it was the season for eating seafood and strawberries 🍓, so I planned to go to the seafood market to buy seafood and process it myself. When I got to the seafood market, I found out that the seafood market was only open from 5 am to 12 pm, so it was a wasted trip. Later, we walked slowly to Yantai Mountain Park, where there are some foreign consulate ruins. In the evening, I walked along the local pedestrian street and found that the prices in Yantai are only half of those in Qingyuan. I bought a lot of fruits for more than 50 yuan. This box of strawberries 🍓 alone would cost more than 50 yuan in Qingyuan. The pace is slow, but there are fewer people here, and there is nothing to do in the attractions.

Without further ado, here are the pictures
The main attractions include lighthouses, beacon towers, anti-Japanese martyrs' monuments, Dragon King Temple, Martyrs' Shrine, seaside plank road, Lianxin Bridge, and many old-style Western buildings and exhibition halls.
What surprised me was that the scenery of this free park was really beautiful. Most of the historical buildings such as the Yantai Post Office, Yantai Bank, and Consulate are preserved here, so it is a park with a strong Republic of China style. If you want to take some photos, you might as well choose here.
Watching the sea from Yantai Mountain, you can really feel the raging waves. The waves hitting the rocks are as exciting as a symphony. But if you look up, you can see someone playing with the sea. How would you view this soloist? A lonely person? A transparent person? A person with a zest for life? It all depends on your mood at the time.
2018.12.9 Yantai Mountain in the snow. It was evening when we went there and it got dark soon. The mountain was quiet. There were windmills turning in the wind in the forest, a closed teahouse, and a small shop. It felt like a secret place.
Yantai Mountain Park is right on the seaside. There is a tall tower in the park. From the top of the tower you can see the panoramic view of Yantai. The scenery is amazing and highly recommended!
This is my second time in Yantai. The first time I was just passing by and didn’t appreciate it well. This time I really enjoyed it. It’s a very nice place. The sea makes me feel good, and I have friends here, so my evaluation is that I will come again!
It takes half a day to slowly walk around, it is a cultural landscape worth visiting.
Yantai Mountain is not high, and Yantai Mountain Park is not big. In order to resist Japanese pirates, the Ming Dynasty built a beacon tower on the mountain to burn beacon smoke, so the mountain got its name Yantai Mountain. The entire Yantai City actually originated from Yantai Mountain. The old streets near Yantai Mountain have a strong European style.
There are various museums around Yantai Mountain, including the Changyu Wine Culture Museum, the Polaris Watch Museum, the Bing Xin Memorial Hall, the Cheongsam Museum, the Piano Museum... Unfortunately, they were not open yet.
If you go there in the evening, you can see the sunset and the sea view. The sunset is very beautiful.
The sea water is very clear. Although it is a free attraction, it is worth going. You can take the elevator to the top of the tower for 10 yuan to watch the sea. It is refreshing and cheerful.
The park does not charge admission, only the lighthouse and the cheongsam pavilion charge admission, which is only 10 yuan and not expensive, so it is still worth a visit.

Visiting Yantai Mountain gave me a lot of understanding of Yantai's history and culture
The day I came seems to be the hottest time of the year, but there are many shady places in the scenic area, which is not bad.
Free scenic area suitable for walking tour with pleasant scenery
It was a pity that I didn't visit the Bing Xin Museum on Wednesday because it was closed.
I have been to Yantai Mountain twice. The weather was very good and the sea water was always blue and clean.
We arrived at 11:30 am. The sun was very strong here, but it was still cool under the shade of the trees. The wind was not hot, but cool, and it felt very refreshing. There is a Peking Opera Memorial Hall, Bing Xin Memorial Hall but they are closed on Wednesdays, and a Cheongsam Memorial Hall but the ticket is 10 yuan. The Cheongsam Beauty Women is still worth a look. After reaching the top, I felt that the ocean was particularly open. It is worth a look.
Yantai Mountain is the iconic scenic spot of Yantai City and the origin of the city’s name.
The Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is worth spending half a day to visit. Not only are the modern and contemporary sites in the park worth visiting, but there are also many lighthouses mentioned in travel notes. Because there is little open space and many tourists, the time you can stay is very short, but you can really enjoy the panoramic view of Yantai, which is very beautiful! There is also the East Fort next to it, and the most beautiful thing is the coastline.
The scenery on the lighthouse is really stunning, you must go up!
It's not bad, with a strong cultural atmosphere and local characteristics. It's worth a visit. No tickets are required, which is rare!
Yantai Mountain is one of the more famous scenic spots in Yantai City. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is a unique landscape integrating seaside natural scenery, port opening culture, cultural relics, humanistic and natural landscapes, and exotic customs. The more famous attractions in the park include Relang Pavilion and Bing Xin Memorial Hall. It is said that Relang Pavilion is the best place to watch the "Zhifu Sunrise", but I didn't enjoy it due to time constraints.
As soon as I got off the car, the blue sea came into view, which made me feel refreshed! The waves were big and the wind was strong, which made people feel very comfortable. The waves hit the shore and the seagulls were looking for food. In short, it was very pleasant.
I feel that Yantai Mountain is similar to Badaguan in Qingdao, with ancient buildings, paths under green trees, and the endless sea. Taking a walk in Yantai Mountain will make you relax, as if you have melted into it.
Today, Yantai Mountain is open to tourists free of charge, and it takes two hours to tour up and down the mountain.
The park is in the city and is worth a visit.
I came to Yantaishan Park early in the morning. The air was fresh. Yantaishan is a very artistic and fresh place with red tiles, green trees, small attics, and many people holding weddings in it. It was super romantic~
Yantaishan Park is similar to Badaguan in Qingdao, but it has fewer people and houses the old consulate.
It was very beautiful. It was not low tide when I went there. The sea water was very clean. I went down to play for a while. The sea water was very clear. The environment was good and it was very large. There was also Yantaishan Park next to it. You can just walk there! It was very close. There was also a seafood buffet nearby. It was delicious and not expensive! It was more perfect than I imagined.
The service attitude of the park is extremely bad. The mountain is not high, but we decided to take an electric car to go up because we were in a hurry. We were supposed to pick them up in half an hour, but no one came. I have been to so many places in the country and this is the first time I have been like this. After going down the mountain, I asked the reason, and the attitude was extremely bad. It made me have a very bad impression of Shandong as a whole. How can such a tourist attraction with such a service attitude be a national 4A scenic spot? The staff did not wear work clothes and looked like social hooligans. Is this result caused by the lax supervision of the relevant departments? From beginning to end, no leader came forward to solve the problem.
It is already a free attraction in 2018. There are many historical museums inside, which are very good. The scenery is also very good. It is beautiful to look out at the sea from the lighthouse.
It's free now, and there are many celebrity residences, consulates, etc.
It is located in the northern part of Yantai City, surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is a beacon tower built in the Ming Dynasty, as well as attractions such as the Yantai Lighthouse and the Dragon King Temple. From the lighthouse, you can overlook the entire Yantai city. There are many Western-style buildings inside, which are still worth a visit, but the price is a bit expensive.
A very beautiful park. Yantai is named after this mountain. There are lighthouses, Relang Pavilion, Guanhai Tower and the former sites of consulates of various countries on the top of the mountain. For 10 yuan, you can climb to the top of the lighthouse and have a panoramic view of the scenery of Yantai city. There is also a wedding square in the park. When I went there, I caught two couples holding their weddings. At the foot of the mountain are the Seaside Square, Yantaishan Hospital and the First Bathing Beach. It is also very close to the Changyu Wine Culture Museum.
Yantaishan Park closes at 5pm, so you have to go early. The square next to it is very crowded at night, and there are many places to eat on the street, which has a great atmosphere.
I like it very much.
Climbing on the rocks by the sea and circling the mountain
But be careful
No tickets required, it's fun
The scenery is good, the beach is beautiful, and many people take wedding photos
It is recommended to play for a long time. When I went there, I was short of time and did not play all of them. There are many things to play and see, and I like it. Most importantly, it is free, hahaha, suitable for people who travel on a budget, hahaha
Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is the landmark scenic area of Yantai. It is located at the northern end of Yantai City. Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The main attractions include Duntai Lighthouse, Yantai Stone, Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Tower, Stone Boat, Relang Pavilion, Bing Xin Memorial Hall, Guanhai Tower and the former consulates of various countries.
The Centennial Green Corridor is very artistic, but due to time constraints, I did not visit other places.
We went there with a group of people from the dormitory. At that time, we had to pay for tickets, but it was opened for free after July 1st. The scenery inside is quite beautiful. There is an evergreen road full of shade, which is particularly beautiful. The lighthouse inside is charged. It is said that you can have a panoramic view of Yantai. Because of the charge, we students did not go~
A true story. When you go to Relangting Pavilion in Yantaishan Park, don't take the speedboat.
We agreed to go to Binhai Square for 100 yuan round trip, but after boarding the boat, they pushed us to take a more expensive route. After less than 5 minutes, they forced us to pay 100 yuan more. I learned my lesson. The person in yellow clothes, the relevant departments should take care of it. I have seen the people of Yantai.
No tickets are required. It's a coastal park with some historical relics. It's worth a visit.
It has a strong sense of history. There are many old embassy buildings and the lighthouse is also nice.
Yantai Mountain is not what you imagine. It is divided into many venues, each of which tells different stories, such as the Treaty of Tianjin, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Peking Opera, Bing Xin... You can learn a lot about culture there, which is really meaningful. There is a coastal plank road next to the Holly Corridor. I don't know why people don't walk there. I walked there. The smell was not good, but maybe there were not many people walking there. I also picked up super large shells and jellyfish! If you are interested, you can try it.
I went to Yantaishan Park after the rain. The air was especially good and there were craftsmen there. I bought a small gift from them. It was well worth a visit and the photos are very beautiful.
Standing on the mountain, you can see the sea, which is refreshing and beautiful.
From the fort and lighthouse on Yantai Mountain, you can see almost the entire Yantai City, and the scenery is very beautiful. There are many consulates of various countries in modern times in the park, which adds color to the architectural atmosphere of the park.
Overall it's good. It's the former consulate area. The ten-yuan lighthouse is very worthwhile. But pay attention to the so-called Martyrs' Shrine explanation at the entrance of the lighthouse. It actually takes you to the temple to guide you to donate money... I thought it was not easy for them to work, and they donated ten yuan. I didn't expect that they were not happy with the ten yuan, saying that it would sound better to make 66 or 99 a logarithm. I said I only gave ten yuan, and you can write it in the merit book yourself. The "staff" in the temple was always unhappy, saying that it's better not to write it, hehe. Ten yuan is just my Saturday overtime pay.
In the same church in the scenic area, no one asks you for the so-called merit money when you enter. Several believers are singing there as if they are alone and do not interfere with each other, which shows the difference.
The Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is famous for its smoke towers, lighthouses and Western-style buildings of foreign consulates. The main attractions include the tower lighthouse, Yantai Stone, the Anti-Japanese Martyrs Monument, the Stone Ship, the Relang Pavilion, the Guanhai Tower and the former consulates of various countries.
Yantaishan Park is okay, you can go and have a look, or you can choose not to go.
You can see the sea in the park, there are cable bridges, historical exhibition halls, churches, etc.
Tickets: 55/person, 30/person for students
It costs 10 yuan to go to the lighthouse
I have to say that gardening is great, and the plants are very stylish.
This park exceeded my imagination. I thought it was just a small street park in a second-tier city. Who would have thought that the content and facilities are really good. The official website is ***. There are more than a dozen former consulate buildings in it. The style is very Western. Now they have been converted into museums. Each small museum has rich content. It is also a good place to bring children here to broaden their horizons. There are also beacon towers and pavilions on the seaside. You can spend 10 yuan to overlook the lighthouse. It is really good. If you stay at Golden Bay Hotel, you can get a coupon at the front desk, and adults can also get a 30 yuan discount ticket.

The main attractions include the tower lighthouse, Yantai Stone, Anti-Japanese Martyrs Monument, Stone Boat, Relang Pavilion, Guanhai Tower and the former consulates of various countries. It is worth slowly appreciating.
Yantai Mountain was originally nameless and was a barren hill in ancient times. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, 53.5 meters above sea level, and covers an area of 7.07 hectares. Because it is located on the north coast, the locals call it "Beishan".
In 1398 (the 31st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty), in order to prevent the harassment of Japanese pirates, Qishan was built on the northern foot of Qishan to defend the Qianhu City. At the same time, Ironing Tower, also known as Wolf Smoke Tower and Beacon Tower, was set up on the "North Mountain". When the enemy was discovered, smoke would be raised during the day and fire would be lit at night as an alarm. It was referred to as Yantai. Some people in the local area call it "Ironing Mountain" and "Yantai Mountain". Yantai Mountain is not very high, and the main attractions are the consulate area and the lighthouse Yandun.
Although the mountain is not high, you can see the panoramic view of Yantai and the sunrise and sunset from the tower. The park is not big, the small garden inside is well trimmed, and there are some old houses of the former British and American consulates.
If you don't go to the White Lighthouse, the ticket is a waste! ! ! Although the highest point is very windy, the scenery is beautiful! ! It's a bit surprising that the sea in Yantai is more beautiful than Weihai. The dark green, emerald green, navy blue and other colors are very beautiful. I didn't want to leave after staying for more than half an hour. The exhibition hall at the front, when modern times were so miserable, many newspapers supported domestic products. I was quite touched. The history, humanities and natural scenery are all great! The student ticket of 30 is more worthwhile. It is very interesting that the old site of the Japanese consulate is abandoned, and even the door glass is broken
If you go to Yantai, you must visit Yantai Mountain, because only by going here can you have a certain understanding of the origin and development of Yantai City. You can also go to the lighthouse to overlook the entire Yantai and the coastline.
This park is very good. I like the environment here, especially the feeling of looking at Yantai from the lighthouse! It's a pity that it was cloudy and foggy when I went there, otherwise the scenery would be better!
Yantai’s iconic attraction. Climbing up the mountain to the lighthouse, you can overlook the entire Yantai landscape. The scenery is very beautiful.
The modern and contemporary buildings mainly reflect the culture of Yantai's opening port. I personally think it should be open to the public for free like Badaguan in Qingdao. There is also a charge for climbing the lighthouse!
Yantai City is named after the beacon tower on Yantai Mountain, where there is a lighthouse, Bing Xin's former residence, and the American and Danish embassies and consulates. It is also close to the urban area of Zhifu, Yantai, and is adjacent to the No. 1 bathing beach in Yantai, which is worth a visit.
It was too hot on the day we went, which affected our travel efficiency. We didn't visit many consulates, which was a bit regrettable. If you buy tickets for Yantaishan Park online, you need to buy them 6 hours in advance. We had no choice but to buy tickets on site, 60/person.
Friends who like history or have memories in their hearts must go here when they go to Yantai. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the history of World War I and World War II is also introduced here. Our group of students bought half-price tickets (full price 60) and played there for about two hours.
When you enter from the main gate, the first thing you see is the American Consulate, followed by the theater and other places. Because it happened to be the Ghost Festival, we also went to the Martyrs' Shrine to burn incense, go up the lanterns, and see the whole picture of Yantai.
The entertainment is not strong, but the historical readability is strong. The old houses around are really interesting!
Tickets are 60 yuan. It is said that it is free in the early days.
Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is a landmark scenic area of Yantai. It is located at the northern end of Yantai City and covers an area of 45 hectares. It was developed from Yantai Mountain Park. Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is a unique landscape integrating seaside natural scenery, port culture, cultural relics, humanistic and natural landscapes, and exotic customs. It is a combination of mountains, sea, city, and port. It condenses the vicissitudes of Yantai's history of more than 600 years and is an important birthplace and symbol of Yantai history. [1] Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is famous for its wolf tower, lighthouse, and Western-style buildings of foreign consulates. The main attractions include the tower lighthouse, Yantai Stone, Anti-Japanese Martyrs Monument, Stone Ship, Relang Pavilion, Guanhai Tower, and the former consulate area of various countries.
There are many places taking wedding photos in the Yantai Mountain Scenic Area, and there are various small Western-style buildings inside, but the tallest Martyrs' Tower has so-called free explanations. If you don't want to donate money for incense or prayers, don't accept the so-called free explanations. There is a saying that there is no free lunch in the world. At that time, the tour guide separated me and my parents, and asked me if I had any wishes. I said no, and he said that people have to have wishes. In fact, I really didn't have any, so he had no choice. Later I found out that my parents said they hope the family will be safe. As a result, because of this sentence, they want you to donate more or less to bless the family with safety. So what do you say to donate or not? As a result, my father paid 100. So don't talk about the elderly. If young people have any wishes, they will be answered like this. This is a matter of opinion. The main thing is that I don't believe in these things. If you don't like them, you should pay attention. If you believe them, it doesn't matter.
There are no famous attractions in Yantai city. If you ask many locals to recommend attractions in Yantai, they will say Yantai Mountain. Therefore, Yantai Mountain has become a must-see attraction in Yantai. Like most attractions in eastern cities, it still charges admission tickets, and the tickets are not cheap. I really feel extremely helpless and dissatisfied with the tickets. Although there are European-style gardens and many European-style buildings left in the park that need to be maintained, I personally think that the tickets are still a bit expensive. But I heard that the park is free before 7 o'clock in the morning, so if you can get up, why not go to the park earlier for free. As for Yantai Mountain, there is a saying that the city of Yantai is named after Yantai Mountain, and it is also one of the filming locations of "Beijing Youth". These are enough to attract tourists to take a look at the scenery of Yantai Mountain. The park is not very big, but I personally think it is very suitable for dazed by the sea in the park. Looking at the distant Yantai Port and dazed may also be a kind of travel enjoyment.
There are not many tourists in Yantaishan Park, which is suitable for children to play. The old buildings are very distinctive and the greenery in the park is also very interesting. There are free guides on the top of the mountain to explain the lighthouse temple. It feels like there are routines in the temple. The view on the beacon tower is good. You can walk along the seaside square when you leave the park.
This park is a little small, but there are many surprises if you go off the beaten path.
Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is located at the northern end of Yantai City. It is a mountain and sea view park surrounded by the sea on three sides. There is a beacon tower built in the Ming Dynasty on the mountain. Yantai got its name from this "Wolf Smoke Tower". There are many beautiful old Western buildings in the scenic area. The lighthouse on the top of the mountain is the landmark building of Yantai. Climbing up the lighthouse observation tower, you can have a panoramic view of the coastal scenery and the city built along the coast.
After coming out of Haiyun Square, we did not go to the East Fort, but walked straight along the coast and arrived at Yantai Mountain.
I don’t know which one existed first, Yantai Mountain or Yantai City? Which one was named after whom?
It is quite a coincidence that there is also a Yantai Mountain in Fuzhou, and my family lives on the Yantai Mountain in Fuzhou.
Fuzhou's Yantai Mountain also has many old houses and was once a concession for foreigners. In terms of the time of opening of the port, Fuzhou's Yantai Mountain was much earlier.
However, the old buildings on Fuzhou's Yantai Mountain are not well preserved and are not concentrated enough. In terms of popularity, they are far less famous than the Yantai Mountain where I am now.
The exhibition hall of the opening of Yantai Port was renovated from an old western-style house. I arrived late and did not go in to see it.
