First, some highlights:
Personally, I feel the best sunrises and sunsets are near Binhai Square.
I think the most worthwhile road leading to the sea is the one near Hongkou 1920. You can start taking photos with your phone as soon as you leave Nihao Hotel.

Travel tips:
Day 1: Time Tower - Lonely Whale - Sunset at Housha Square
Dinner: Ganhaier Seafood Express
~
Day 2: Dongsheng Stuffed Buns — Chaoyangli — Suochengli (Guangxing Orchard)
(ps: I personally find Chaoyangli more enjoyable to stroll around)
Lunch: Yikuai Doufu — Binhai Middle Road walking + Bus 17 coastal loop (the bus is actually very crowded, taking a taxi or walking nearby is better)
— Yantai Snack Street (highly recommend drinking Fenbubu, had four cups in two days)
Dinner: Find some delicious barbecue
~
Day 3 Watch sunrise (4:30 AM) at First Seawater Bathing Beach — Hongkou 1920 — Judong Hongkou Seaview Restaurant (nice windows, average food) — East Battery Seal - Dongshan Pier - Haichang Fisherman’s Wharf
— Huli Coffee (almost becoming a wild Huli Coffee salt person) Watch the sunset, the blue hour is stunning

Day 4 Watch a sunrise — Penglai Noodles — Return trip

Yantai is very beautiful, will come again next time
