I originally thought Weihai was beautiful, until I came here

Yantai Local's 2-Day Tour Guide | July Latest Simplified Version
As a Yantai native, I've put together this straightforward summer coastal itinerary! You can hit the best spots in just two days~

🚗 Transportation Tips
• Yantai Station is the best location, within walking distance to the seaside/Yantai Hill
• In summer, renting an electric bike to circle the coast is highly recommended; cycling by the sea is super comfortable
• Yangma Island is quite far, so taking a taxi or chartering a car is advised

🏠 Accommodation Recommendations
✔ Near Yantai Station: convenient transportation, vibrant nightlife
✔ Around Yantai University: close to the beach, great value for money
