Yantai's Most Beautiful Check-in Spots, This Summer You Must Follow the Guide to Visit Yantai

Here is the photo check-in guide for Yantai's Lonely Whale, Yangma Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and Binhai Middle Road:

Lonely Whale

• Best Time: The blue hour at sunrise, around 4:00-4:30 AM in summer, when there are fewer people and the light is unique; 4:30-5:30 PM in the evening is suitable for shooting sunset silhouettes.

• Photo Spots: Stand at a low angle beside the whale's tail to emphasize loneliness; use the slide behind the whale to frame the horizon; shoot the whale's body texture with side light or capture sunset silhouettes with backlight.

• Outfit and Props: Choose light-colored long dresses like cream white or misty blue. Prepare props such as transparent umbrellas, crystal balls, ribbon kites, and handheld night lights.

• Transportation: Navigate to "Golden Beach City Exhibition Center," the sculpture is on the nearby beach.

Yantai Yangma Island

• Best Time: Choose a sunny day at high tide when the sea looks like jelly for the best visual effect.

• Photo Spots: The red boardwalk and spiral staircase on Zhang Island, sea erosion caves, conch caves; Yishou Road offers shots of the road leading to the sea; Roman columns at Qinfeng Cliff; the lonely tree, popular caves, and Island Diary cabin at Lotus Sunset.

• Transportation: You can drive yourself or rent electric scooters at the entrance of Yangma Island Bridge or Tianma Square to explore the island.

Yantai Fisherman's Wharf

• Photo Spots: The sea track similar to that in Hayao Miyazaki’s "Spirited Away"; European-style buildings with brightly colored red roofs against the blue sky and sea make great photos; the "I Love Yantai" themed text wall; the sea-view boardwalk corridor; the beach on the pier after the tide recedes.

• Transportation: Accessible by bus directly to Fisherman's Wharf station; driving is also convenient with parking lots nearby.

Yantai Binhai Middle Road

• Photo Spots: Poppy Square, where poppies bloom from April to May, with flowers and sea views complementing each other; Huanghai Road, where the white lighthouse at the end of the road and the blue sea and sky create a healing scene; Xincheng North Street, with European-style buildings as the background and pink tones that are very photogenic; East Gate of Yantai University, lit up at night, perfect for night shots.

• Transportation: Take bus route 17 along the coast, allowing you to enjoy the sea view and get off at various spots for check-ins.
