During my trip to Yantai, I stayed at the newly opened Jinji Hotel Golden Beach branch and it turned out to be an absolute treasure!🌈 As a hotel that just opened in June 2024, there's no trace of renovation odors, and the staff are so warm and welcoming it feels like reuniting with old friends. The value for money is incredible~
✨ Hotel Highlights:
1️⃣ Prime Location: Just a 10-minute walk to Golden Beach! Shared electric bike stations right at the doorstep, with a 5-minute ride to Zhenhua Shopping Center. Don't miss the seaside sunset views🌅
2️⃣ Foodie Paradise: Three must-try restaurants nearby! Highly recommend the steamed seafood at "Li's Seafood House" next door and the mackerel dumplings at "Old Taste of Yantai" - only 60 RMB per person for a feast!
3️⃣ Thoughtful Amenities: Rooms come with air purifiers + smart toilets. Family rooms even have children's slippers and toothbrushes - perfect for family trips!
🏖 Nearby Attractions:
• Golden Beach (10-minute walk): Arrive by 8am to have the entire glass-like sea to yourself
• 37° Dream Water Park (8-minute taxi ride): A must-visit summer water park
• Tianma Pier (15-minute bike ride): Stunning sunset views over the "orange sea"
💡 Practical Tips:
• Breakfast served 7-10am, go before 8am for the limited daily supply of freshly made Penglai noodles
• Free sand toys available at reception - super kid-friendly!
• Higher floor rooms offer distant views of Yangma Island - spectacular on clear days
Off-season rates are just 400+ RMB now - way newer than other chain hotels in the area! Don't wait, prices will double during peak season in two months~
