Yantai is really perfect for a vacation, a coastal day trip is so enjoyable!
Just past the May Day holiday, Yantai has gained a new title as 'The City of the Most Beautiful Sunrise,' where I saw the most beautiful and heart-healing sunrise at Yantai's Golden Sand Beach🌅
Yantai is really perfect for a vacation, a coastal day trip is so enjoyable! The best coastal route is here👇
Self-driving tour sequence: Golden Sand Beach - The Lonely Whale - Hongkou 1920 - Moon Bay - East Fort - East Mountain Pier - Xinxing South Street - Binhai Middle Road - Fisherman's Wharf (the same kind of sea rail as in Spirited Away)
Golden Sand Beach - Here you can see the most beautiful sea sunrise🌅
Get up early to watch the sunrise at Golden Sand Beach, stroll on the sand, and as the sun slowly rises, the sea surface is dyed pink, orange, red, incredibly romantic~ When the sun just rises, it is exactly 5:20 am in Yantai, this is the romance exclusive to the people of Yantai!
The Lonely Whale: Right at Golden Sand Beach, you can see a whale standing on the sand, against the sea, especially lonely!
Moon Bay/East Fort: There's a big Moon Grandpa sculpture, and you can write on a plaque and make a wish on the gallery bridge here, you can also take a speedboat🚤
East Mountain Pier: The pier leading to the sea, with a glass walkway in the middle, and many old fishermen fishing on the pier~
Binhai Middle Road: Binhai Middle Road is beautiful all the way, you can stroll on the soft sand, chase the waves, and you can also rent a beach chair or bring your own tent to camp🏕️ The sea breeze is really comfortable, it seems that you can forget all worries here.
The best check-in spot can be navigated to 'Xinxing South Street,' a small Kamakura feeling, it turns out that you don't need to go abroad to see such a beautiful seaside~ There's also a walkway here, very suitable for a night walk along the seaside🚶🏼♀️! There are also many people with shovels and buckets, digging for sea treasures here, life slowed down is so beautiful!
Fisherman's Wharf: Fisherman's Wharf can be left for last, waiting until sunset, the wharf is bathed in golden light, especially romantic~ Find a coffee shop by the wharf, order a cup of coffee, sit by the sea, watch the fishing boats slowly approaching the shore in the distance, children blowing bubbles here, drinking coffee with the sea breeze, watching the sea, time slips away, really envious of the people of Yantai!
Here you can also take a photo of the same kind of sea rail as in Spirited Away🛤️ Take off your shoes, slowly walk towards the sea, it's like walking into a fairy tale world!
For accommodation, you can stay near Yantai University, and at night there is the Yantai University night market, where you can feel the romance of the seaside as well as the local life of Yantai.
Yantai with its sea is really too romantic!
The scenery is very good and there are not many people. There have been many people around the net red whale. The water here is very clear, the coastline is very long, the surrounding environment is good, and the roads are full on weekends. It is very suny and there are not many shades.
Yantai Golden Beach Tourist Resort is located on the shore of the Yellow Sea of Shandong Peninsula, Yantai Huangbohai New District (Yantai Development Zone) on the northern coast, Yantai Golden Beach is a rare pure land with a deep ancient Jiaodong prehistoric Beiqiu cultural heritage and modern background. With a moderate marine climate, a complete and natural coast, complementing the original ecological protection, and harmonious, romantic and chic architecture. Blue sky, sea, beach, green trees, flowers and birds constitute a modern atmosphere of "sea paradise".
The sand on the beach here is relatively fine. The scenery is so beautiful. There are not so many people. I watched the sunset here. I saw the rainbow on the sky. The color of red orange yellow green blue and purple sighs that nature is good for healing people.
Sea Holidays in Yantai Golden Beach Just coming back from Yantai sea holidays, let me share some practical aspects to help youplan your trip:1. There are kilometers and kilometers of great sea line for you with very few people around. We were there end of June, and were told school break will change a balance of people to sea, but I doubt.2. Yantai holidays are relatively cheaper than other sea resorts, places like Sanya, if you compare like for like3. During summer months Yantai air is not so burning hot, while sea temperature is acceptable for swimming, it is a much better balance.4. The key question to you, if you accept swimming in the sea with green algae, especially concentrated on the sea entry. If this is something you easily accept, then you would find the holidays in Yantai fantastic. If you can’t cope with algae and prefer really hot sea water, then go to Sanya.5. I recommend staying in Golden Beach area in Yantai. We enjoyed Marriott. Sheraton is nearby, but surrounded by some buildings. The best sea entry is from Indigo, but you have to pass a busy road. All Golden Beach by taxi is 15 min in between. We really enjoyed Marriott sea view and silent area around it. AEON Mall is 5 min drive with great supermarket and other shops/restaurants. It is actually AEON factory nearby, I wonder if they offer guided tours, would be cool.6. For sea swimming I recommend Moscow Bar area next to Indigo Hotel. Great sea, very little algae, you can get bin bags for a drink and great music as a bonus. Stay there as much as you want, and enjoy the sea!7. For western food I recommend Marriott weekend open air buffet dinner, Wumei Time, and YueDian Steak. Great meals and value for money at least vs. Shanghai and Sanya.8. For evening worth to explore Fisherman Wharf and Beach Number 1 in the city (45 min drive). Great views in the first and great night buzz and food in the second.Hope it helps with your planning and wishing you a great swimming holidays in Yantai!
