✌✌ A friend asked me: For summer vacation, should I go to Sanya or abroad to see the sea? I said: Why go abroad! The "Maldives" you can reach by driving across the cross-sea bridge isn’t better? As the car drives onto the cross-sea bridge leading to Yangma Island, the colors outside the window start to change—from the gray of the city to the blue of the sea. The very first second I started cycling around the island, this sea healed me. 🌊 About the jelly-like sea, I’m not exaggerating The seawater at Yangma Island is a clear glassy green. Standing by the shore of Zhang Island, sunlight penetrates the seabed, and you can see the patterns of the reefs swaying in the water waves. No filters, no color adjustments, just a casual shot on your phone is wallpaper-worthy. Especially around 3 to 4 PM, when the light slants onto the sea surface, the whole sea glows. 🛵 Cycling around the island is the right way to explore First thing on the island: rent a small electric scooter! For 30 yuan, slowly ride along the ring road around the island, with cliffs and reefs on the left and the boundless sea on the right. Stop whenever you see something beautiful, feel the sea breeze, and daydream. Lotus Sunset, Qin Feng Cliff, Island Diary... every corner is a surprise. This must be the summer in a romantic drama. 🦀 The joy of tide pooling, you wouldn’t understand At low tide, grab a small bucket and shovel to dig clams and catch little crabs in the shallow water. Watching the bucket slowly fill up brings more satisfaction than buying a bag. If you have kids, head straight to the Tide Pooling Park to experience a real "Finding Nemo" adventure. 📷 These photo spots, take lots of pictures · Zhang Island: wooden boardwalk + red reefs + glassy sea, beyond stunning · Lotus Sunset: that popular cave, worth queuing for a shot · Ring Road: ride the scooter and capture your back, full Japanese vibe · Island Diary: white house café, sea view right by the window ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls · Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The UV rays by the sea will teach you a lesson · Don’t just visit for half a day, stay at least one full day to soak it all in · Check the low tide times before going to the island to make tide pooling worthwhile · Weekends are crowded, start early if you can to avoid sleeping in 📍 Practical information · Address: Yangma Island, Muping District, Yantai City · Transportation: Drive directly onto the island (no entrance fee), or take the bus to "Yangma Island Station" and transfer to the island · Scooter rental: 20-30 yuan/hour, remember to bargain If you haven’t decided where to see the sea this summer, trust me, add Yangma Island to your list. No international flights here, just China’s own stunning coastline. This summer, see you at Yangma Island. 🌊

Yantai in the off-season is simply an earthly paradise‼️ Compared to the crowds in Qingdao and Weihai, I highly recommend a reverse trip to Yantai to see the sea‼️ No need to be a special forces soldier, just slow down and relax by the sea for a few days.

🌊 Yantai｜Between mountains and sea, live your days like a salty poem 🌅 Must-chase coastlines ▪️ Houhai at Yangma Island requires waiting for low tide! Little crabs scuttle sideways on the rocky beach. Stand under the "sea-eroded cliff" to shoot backlit photos, with waves splashing mist against the rock walls, and the wind carrying the breath of the sea (wear non-slip shoes, the rocks are slippery enough to do the splits) ▪️ Don’t just admire the lighthouse at Yantai Hill from afar! Hold onto the spiral staircase while climbing and shooting. Outside the window, Zhifu Bay looks like a sapphire. At dusk when the light turns on, the lighthouse’s shadows spin on the ground, like stepping on the gears of time ▪️ Catch the sunrise at Jinsha Beach early! At 5 a.m., the sea surface glows pink and purple. Barefoot on the fine sand, snap photos as the waves lap your ankles. Don’t worry if your skirt gets wet with seawater—it’s as fresh as if you just pulled it out of the waves 🍤 Savor the fresh flavors in the alleys ▪️ Seafood steamed cakes on Chaoyang Street must be stir-fried on an iron plate! Sweet potato starch cakes wrapped in sesame paste and shrimp oil, sprinkled with dried shrimp. Squat by the old shop’s door to eat, hot and sizzling, you can’t stop ▪️ Mackerel dumplings in Suocheng must be freshly made! The dough is thin enough to see through, bursting with juice when bitten. The fish is tender like a cloud. Pair with a bowl of seaweed soup, and the grandma will say, “This is the real taste of Yantai” ▪️ At the night market, choose the “tentacle style” grilled squid! Charcoal-grilled to a crispy aroma, brushed with sweet and spicy sauce. Stand by the roadside holding and biting it. The chewy squid tentacles mixed with the sea breeze are so fresh you’ll stomp your feet 📸 Photo tips • Capture dynamic shots of the “Cross-sea Bridge” at Yangma Island! Rent a small electric scooter and ride across while your friend snaps photos at the bridgehead. The wind lifts your clothes, with the blue sea as the background, like chasing the waves • The “old foreign-style red walls” at Yantai Hill! Wear a white dress and lean against the wall, holding a small daisy. Sunlight filters through the plane tree leaves, casting light spots, vintage like a 90s old photo • Use the “colorful boats” at Fisherman’s Wharf as props! Sit on the wooden bench of a fishing boat, place a seaweed basket by your feet, with the lighthouse in the distance as the background. Press the shutter and you get a “seaside resident” daily life shot 💡 Local secrets ▪️ Eat “seaweed buns” with millet porridge! The filling made from kelp is fresh, the bun skin soft. Two buns cost 5 yuan at the morning market, warming you up from the inside ▪️ Don’t buy seafood at tourist spots! Aunties at Hongli Market will help you pick lively shrimp. Buy fresh and have it cooked at a restaurant. Poached and dipped in vinegar, so fresh you’ll lick the plate ▪️ Feed seagulls at “Binhai Square” at dusk! Toss bread crumbs into the air, and the seagulls will fly with you. Capture the moment of “hand-feeding birds,” with wings streaking across the lens, super lively Yantai’s romance is a blend—the green of the mountains, the blue of the sea, the red of old houses, mixed with the fishy smell of seafood and the aroma of bread. Walking here, even the air carries a comforting, down-to-earth vibe~

Known as the "Maldives of the East," Yangma Island is half a healing jelly sea and half a perfect photo spot. This comprehensive guide integrates transportation, check-in points, photography tips, and tidal information, making it easy for you to enjoy the island and take stunning photos to wow your friends! 1. Essentials Before the Trip: Transportation + Tidal Table (Key!) 🌊 Practical Guide to the Tidal Table (Must-see for Jelly Sea Photography/Beachcombing) • Best time to view the jelly sea: 1-2 hours before high tide, when the water is clear and blue. Zhang Island and Lotus Sunset Cave are the best photo spots. • Beachcombing + sea cave photography: Within 3 hours after low tide, you can enter the sea caves for silhouette shots and collect shells on the black mudflats. • Check tool: Search "Global Tides" on WeChat, select "Yantai Yangma Island," and confirm the tidal times one day in advance. 🚗 Transportation (Efficient Island Loop Without Detours) • Self-driving: 40 minutes from downtown Yantai, Yangma Island Bridge is toll-free, and the island’s loop road is one-way; follow navigation instructions. • Car rental: Electric bikes are available for rent at the bridge entrance and Tianma Square for 80 RMB/day, with enough range to circle the island; half-day car hire with driver and guide costs 300 RMB. • Public transport: Take bus 617 from Yantai Station directly to Yangma Island, about 1.5 hours, suitable for budget travelers. 2. Hot Loop Route (Core Spots in One Day) Yangma Island Bridge → Tianma Square → Seawater Bathing Beach → Zhang Island (Spiral Staircase) → Sea Caves → Qin Feng Cliff → Lotus Sunset (Lonely Tree) → Xishan Viewing Platform • Morning (9:00-12:00): Tianma Square (check in at iconic sculpture) → Seawater Bathing Beach (beachcombing + shallow water portraits) • Afternoon (14:00-17:00): Zhang Island (spiral staircase) → Sea Caves (dark moody shots) → Qin Feng Cliff (European-style corridor) • Evening (17:30-19:00): Lotus Sunset (backlit portraits + sunset cave) → Xishan Viewing Platform (panoramic finale) 3. Portrait Photo Spots Fully Unlocked (with Shooting Tips) 1. Zhang Island Spiral Staircase (Santorini Vibes) • Outfit: White/light blue dress, straw hat, paired with sea breeze for a lively look • Shooting tips: Stand mid-staircase, shoot upward with the sea as background, pose sideways looking back smiling, use portrait mode on your phone to blur the background • Best time: Before 10 AM (soft light, no backlight) 2. Lotus Sunset (Jelly Sea + Lonely Tree) • Outfit: Light-colored long dress or slip dress, avoid dark colors (which blend into the background) • Shooting tips: ◦ Jelly Sea: At high tide, stand by the reef, shoot from a low angle with water covering your ankles to highlight the "jelly effect" ◦ Lonely Tree: One hour before sunset, shoot backlit with the subject standing sideways by the tree, letting sunlight filter through leaves creating light spots; warm tones in post-processing • Popular cave: Enter after low tide, shoot silhouettes or half-body shots using cave entrance light for a full atmosphere 3. Sea Caves (Dark and Mysterious Style) • Outfit: Black long dress, workwear style, cool and sharp outfits • Shooting tips: Use wide-angle mode on your phone, stand at the cave entrance with light coming from behind, shoot full-body silhouettes; add hand gestures for dynamic tension • Note: Rocks inside are slippery, wear non-slip shoes, avoid climbing dangerous areas 4. Qin Feng Cliff (European Vintage Style) • Outfit: White vintage long dress, lace blouse + skirt, paired with pearl accessories • Shooting tips: Use the corridor’s depth effect, have the subject walk from one end toward the camera with the skirt flowing; at dusk, let the sunset light hit the face for a cinematic heroine look 4. Pitfall Avoidance + Practical Tips 1. Island dining is concentrated near Tianma Square; recommended dishes are seafood hotpot and mackerel dumplings, about 60-80 RMB per person; avoid expensive restaurants near scenic spots. 2. Use sun protection when shooting; UV rays are strong by the sea. Bring a sun hat, sunscreen, and wear non-slip shoes (rocks are slippery). 3. During peak season (June-August), arrive before 9 AM to avoid crowds and have smoother shooting. 4. Self-driving visitors should bring drinking water and snacks as convenience stores are scarce on the island. 5. Jelly sea effect is greatly affected by weather; choose sunny days to visit as cloudy days make the water murky.

Fresh off my trip from Yantai with the scent of the sea still on me, I'm telling you from the heart: Don't believe the nonsense about "avoiding Yantai in summer"! July-August in Yantai is illegally beautiful—sea breezes, sandy beaches, and seafood are all at their prime, making you want to stay forever📒! 🌞 Yantai Weather July-August temperatures range from 24°C to 30°C🌡️. Days are sunny with refreshing sea breezes—perfect for T-shirts, shorts, and beach dresses👗. Evenings get cooler, so pack a light jacket. The UV rays are insanely strong, so slather on sunscreen, wear a hat, sunglasses, and arm sleeves, or you'll turn into a "beach lobster" in no time🕶️! ⚠️ Yantai Travel Tips ❌ Avoid "dock touts": Near Yantai Port and the train station, you might hear offers like "come to our deserted island for beachcombing" or "cheap fishing boat trips." Don't fall for it! You'll either end up stranded on a barren island or circling the sea without catching anything. Stick to official attractions. ❌ Be wary of "scenic spot seafood": Those "freshly grilled seafood" stalls on the beach might look tempting, but many serve dead shrimp/crabs at triple the price. For real deals, head to Hongli Market, pick your own seafood, and have it cooked at a restaurant—fresh and cheap. ❌ Don’t recklessly climb rocks: At Yantai Mountain and Yangma Island, tides rise fast. Don’t get too close for photos, or you might get soaked or slip. Safety first! ✔️ Book early: July-August is peak season. Want a sea-view room? Book at least a week ahead! Zhifu or Laishan districts are ideal—close to the beach, with the sound of waves lulling you to sleep🌊. ✔️ Must-do activities: Catch the sunset at Golden Beach—the sand is powder-soft, perfect for barefoot walks, and the golden-red sea at dusk will fill your phone’s memory! Rent an e-bike to loop Yangma Island, where cliffs, beaches, and fishing villages alternate, making every shot look like "mini-Maldives"🐎. ✔️ Feast like a king: Steamed blue crabs and butter-fried prails are a must, paired with Yantai beer! Don’t miss local snacks like fried mung bean jelly, seaweed buns, or salted fish pancakes. Street-side grilled squid tentacles? Finger-licking good🥢! ✔️ Side trips: Penglai Pavilion in July-August is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland. The view of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Sea divide is breathtaking! At Long Island’s Nine-Zhang Cliff and Crescent Bay, the water’s so clear you can see fish. The ferry ride itself is a scenic treat. 🏠 Accommodation Tips ✔️ Best choice: Near Zhifu’s Coastal Square—steps from Yantai Mountain and First Bathing Beach, with lively night markets. Prefer quiet? Laishan offers serene, less crowded beaches. ❌ Don’t stay too far from the sea! The whole point of Yantai is ocean access. Staying close lets you chase sunrises and sunsets—otherwise, you’re missing out! 🚗 Getting Around Arrival: Fly to Yantai Penglai Int’l Airport (buses to downtown) or take high-speed rail to Yantai/Yantai South Station (short taxi ride to the coast). Local transport: Attractions are spread out—rent e-bikes or taxis for coastal drives. Buses cover most areas but get crowded in peak season. Shared bikes work for short trips🚴. Honestly, July-August Yantai is the ocean’s favorite child—gentle breezes, plump seafood, soft sands, and air that tastes like salt and sugar. Ignore the crowds; this level of joy is something you’ll only understand once you’re here!
