The upcoming Yantai is truly worth experiencing in this world……

**Yantai 3-4 Days Mountain and Sea Wonderland Tour**

Yantai, a coastal city at 37° north latitude, has the fairy aura of Penglai on the left and European style on the right. It carries the vicissitudes of a thousand-year-old ancient port and the romance of fruity aroma and mellow wine. Here is a refined guide to help you explore Yantai!

### **Day 1: Penglai Fairy Trail**
- **Penglai Pavilion** (100 RMB): Climb one of China’s Four Great Towers, overlook the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and if lucky, witness the "mirage."
- **Sanshan Mountain / Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area**: Visit together to experience myth legends and maritime wonders.
- **Overnight in Penglai**: Recommended to stay at a fisherman's homestay and enjoy a seafood feast including mackerel dumplings and steamed sea urchin eggs.

### **Day 2: Island Roaming**
- **Changdao Island** (Ferry ticket 30 RMB): Explore the cobble beach of Crescent Bay and the steep reefs of Jiuzhang Cliff, and experience the fisherfolk lifestyle.
- **Yangma Island** (Free): Cycle around the island, check in at Zhang Island Red Pier and Qin Feng Cliff sunset, and shoot stunning "jelly sea" photos.

### **Day 3: Yantai Citywalk**
- **Yantai Hill** (Free): Climb the lighthouse to overlook the panoramic view of the mountain, sea, and city, and stroll through the retro buildings on Chaoyang Street.
- **Fisherman’s Wharf**: Check in at the sea railway track similar to Spirited Away, and capture sunset silhouettes of the whale shark pavilion in the evening.
- **Suochengli Old Street**: When lanterns light up at night, taste local snacks like Yantai steamed jelly and sea intestine rice.

### **Tips**
- **Transportation**: Walk or bike for city attractions; for long distances, car rental or self-driving is recommended.
