🌈 Travel Guide

🚗 Transportation
📍 To reach Yantai Island, you must take a ferry from Penglai Pier (40-minute voyage 🛳), with departures every day from 6:30-18:30. Check the weather in advance as service may be suspended during strong winds.
Drivers can navigate to "Penglai Port" with parking fees around 30 yuan/day; non-drivers can take the high-speed train to Yantai Station, then a taxi to the pier (about 1 hour).

📍 Best Time to Visit
April-October is peak season! April-July to see flocks of birds + occasional wild spotted seals, July-August for swimming and beach activities, September-October for seafood harvest season. Sea tours stop operating after November (brave warriors can still visit for winter waves).

📷 Photo Spots
📍 Sea View Pavilion at the Yellow Sea-Bohai Sea boundary
📍 Glass sea crystal walkway
📍 Cliff piano installation (pretend to play piano over the sea) - with luck, you might see wild spotted seals sunbathing 🌤
🌟 North Island:
📍 Crescent Bay, crescent-shaped bay when viewed from above, famous for its pebble beach.
📍 Waiting for Husband Rock, a small park with upright reef rocks named for their resemblance.

📍 Jiuzhang Cliff ➡️ Beach ➡️ Wooden boardwalk ➡️ Large reef ➡️ Climb halfway up the mountain to a giant crown-shaped viewing platform, pass through Pearl Cave to reach the popular photo spot, most beautiful at sunset 💞.

📍 For tours, gather at the pier in the morning. On the boat, you can collect seafood with your ticket. After reaching the island, enjoy free steaming and cooking in the dining area.

🛳 Return trip at 15:30
Leave the island facing the sunset glow - photos taken on the second deck at this time have a natural cinematic filter.

⚠️ Travel Tips:
✅ Bring your ID card! The scenic area requires real-name registration + boat tickets need identification
✅ Recommend wearing non-slip shoes 🥾, as the reef areas can be slippery.
