Russia Trip: Enjoy the Best Sunset Views in Zelenogradsk!

#hellohalloween Ready to explore two underrated gems in one trip? Yantai and Zelenogradsk both surprised me with their chilled-out vibes and crowd-free spots 🙌. From the heart of Yantai’s foodie scene to the charming square in Zelenogradsk, this journey packs in flavor and a dash of culture!

Must-See Places Guide:
🥢 Zhongxindajiudianjiangnanshifuzizhucan (Inside Central Hotel, 81 South Avenue, Yantai): This spot is perfect if you want to taste real local cuisine buffet-style — no tourist traps, just fresh, authentic dishes. Tip: Go at lunch to avoid the dinner rush and snag a window seat for people watching!
🌳 Queen Louise Square (Turgeneva st., 1, Zelenogradsk 238530 Russia): This is Zelenogradsk’s main square. Super photogenic, with fountains, relaxed cafés, and local artists selling their wares. It’s lively but never too crowded; perfect place to unwind or grab a coffee. Extra tip: Arrive before 10AM for a quiet stroll, and stick around for live street music in the evening.

Getting Around:
In Yantai: City taxis are budget-friendly and everywhere, but if you’re staying near Central Hotel, most attractions are walkable.
In Zelenogradsk: Use the local buses for quick trips, but honestly, the town is compact enough to enjoy on foot!

Food Recommendations:
Definitely hit up that Yantai buffet — variety rules here. In Zelenogradsk, try a pastry from a square-side bakery; locals swear by them.

Destination Tips:
Yantai can be humid in summer, so lightweight clothes are best. In Zelenogradsk, bring a light jacket for breezy evenings.
Both cities are card-friendly, but always keep some cash for markets and small shops.
