🗺️ Highlights: Classic architecture, mountain view photo, night tour by the river, knowledge and culture influence, outdoor park slow life all in one!
Day 1️⃣
Starting from Three Places and Seven Alleys - an old neighborhood full of historical charm, old houses and hipster cafes are super suitable for IG check-in. Every step through the streets has a wonderful "time travel" feel. Then switch to Yantai Mountain, not only has a large forest but also can overlook the entire city line, the air is particularly fresh, super suitable for taking a set of forest-based photography photos. The Liberation Bridge is most beautiful at dusk. I recommend everyone to take pictures of the reflection under the bridge. The Lin Zexu Memorial Hall allows you to learn about history and visit old buildings. The exhibits are rich. If you are interested in modern Chinese history, you must visit! Then go to Wushan to see the sunset, there are paths to walk slowly, and finally at night must go to Minjiang night swim - river breeze, bridge shadow, night view, feel the pulse of the city, is definitely the best healing from a tiring day!
Day 2️⃣
Gushan Scenic Area is the most comfortable to go in the morning. Climb high and look far. The summit usually has a hazy beauty. The route is not difficult but remember to wear hiking shoes. The Mawei Shipbuilding Culture Park allows you to learn about the history of modern shipbuilding development in China. The architecture is very distinctive and full of details. Rosewood Park is suitable for sneaking, quiet environment + a lot of green shade, is a rare leisure place in the city. Walking to Dongjiangbin Park, the riverside promenade is good for wind and exercise. When you walk to Fudao, you can experience the aerial trail.
Day 3️⃣
Yongtai Genting Scenic Area is one of the most recommended during this trip! Remember to check the weather before you go. The temperature in the mountains will be lower than in the city. Please bring your own jacket. The sea of clouds, wild flowers and pavilions in the scenic area have their own attractions, which is suitable for a slow tour. The top of the cloud can be used to shoot fairy tales shrouded in clouds and mist. Many photography enthusiasts come here specifically. It is recommended to allow enough time to slow down and feel nature.
