First Time in Yantai: A Classic Three-Day, Two-Night Itinerary
For first-time visitors to Yantai, the core goal is to experience the essence of this city within a limited time—the landscape where mountains meet the sea, the marks of its port-opening culture, and the taste impact of Lu cuisine, the birthplace of Shandong cooking. A well-planned route should balance geographic flow and experience density, avoiding wasted time on backtracking.
We recommend starting on Day 1 in the old town of Zhifu District. In the morning, first climb Yantai Hill—this small hill, just 42 meters above sea level, is the very soul of the city. The lighthouse atop it, built in 1905, is one of the earliest international lighthouses in the Far East. From the summit, you can look north over Zhifu Bay and east toward Kongtong Island, with the entire city coastline spread out before you. At the foot of the hill lies the largest cluster of modern-era consulate buildings in Asia—17 countries, including Britain, the United States, Japan, and Germany, once established consulates here. Today, red-brick Western villas intermingle with Chinese-style courtyards, perfect for a leisurely two-hour stroll. In the afternoon, walk to the Changyu Wine Culture Museum. This century-old wine cellar, built in 1892, houses the largest underground wine cellar in Asia, with arched tunnels stretching deep like a maze. The century-old dust on oak barrels mingles with the aroma of wine, and the tasting session offers three vintages of dry red wine. In the evening, take a stroll along Binhai Square and watch the sunset paint the lighthouse gold. For dinner, find a local Lu cuisine restaurant nearby.
On Day 2, rise early and take a high-speed train or bus to Penglai (about 1.5 hours). In the morning, focus on Penglai Pavilion. This ancient architectural complex, first built during the Jiayou era of the Northern Song Dynasty, clings to Danya Hill and is counted among China's four great towers, alongside Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower, and Prince Teng Pavilion. From the pavilion, the boundary line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea is clearly visible on clear days—where the two seas meet, the water colors differ distinctly, forming a natural "sea dividing line." In the afternoon, take a ferry from Penglai Pier to Changdao (about 40 minutes). Stay overnight at a local fisherman's homestay and enjoy freshly caught sea urchin steamed egg and mackerel dumplings.
On the third morning, explore Jiuzhang Cliff and Crescent Bay on Changdao. The cliffs of Jiuzhangya rise up to 70 meters, with layered rock textures formed by seawater erosion, and sea-eroded caves scattered among the reefs below the cliffs. Crescent Bay is famous for its ball stones—pebbles polished by waves for hundreds of millions of years, smooth as jade and glowing with a soft luster under the sun. In the afternoon, take the ferry back to Penglai, then a high-speed train to downtown Yantai. If time permits, make a detour to Yangma Island, cycle 18 kilometers around the island, and arrive at Qinfeng Cliff before sunset to watch the evening glow.
Fairyland Coast Theme Tour: An In-Depth Guide to Penglai Pavilion and Changdao
"Fairyland" is the most distinctive label of Yantai tourism, and Penglai Pavilion and Changdao are the physical embodiments of this theme. Penglai Pavilion is not just a single tower but a complex of ancient buildings covering 32,800 square meters, comprising six units including Sanqing Hall, Lüzu Hall, Su Gong Shrine, and Tianhou Palace, arranged in a harmonious layout that blends seamlessly with the Danya Mountain terrain.
There are four key experiential highlights when visiting Penglai Pavilion: first, ascend to the second floor of the main pavilion, the best spot for viewing mirages. Mirages most often appear on clear days after rain in late spring and early summer, when changes in air moisture density cause phantom pavilions and towers to emerge on the sea surface. This is why the ancients called this mountain "Penglai Immortal Mountain." Second, visit the Dragon King Palace, where the statue of the East Sea Dragon King exudes a solemn majesty, and the colorful murals on the beams and pillars vividly depict the story of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. Third, take a stroll through Su Gong Shrine. Su Shi once served as governor of Dengzhou (present-day Penglai) for five days, leaving behind the verse, "The eastern sea clouds drift in endless emptiness, immortals appear and vanish in the bright void." The stone inscriptions in the shrine are well preserved. Fourth, descend the mountain from behind the pavilion and walk along the Tianheng Mountain plank road to the marker of the Yellow Sea-Bohai Sea boundary—here stands a "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" sculpture, where the seawater below is visibly clear and turbid on either side, making it a must-visit spot for photos.
The value of Changdao lies in its unique geology and ecology. As a national geopark, Changdao boasts China's most typical marine erosion landforms—the cliffs of Jiuzhang Cliff, shaped by tides and wind-driven waves, feature diverse forms such as sea caves, sea stacks, and marine erosion plank roads. Geology enthusiasts can observe rock folds and fault structures here. The pebble beach at Yueya Bay is another natural wonder. These quartzite cobbles have been polished smooth and round by millennia of wave action. The local government has explicitly banned taking pebbles away, and visitors must comply with this regulation. If time permits, it is recommended to stay two nights on Changdao and head to Xianjingyuan at dawn on the second day to watch the sunrise—this is the easternmost cape of the island. As the sun leaps above the horizon, the dawn glow tints the entire sea gold and red, with distant fishing boats silhouetted like a painting.
Island Cycling and Self-Driving: Yangma Island, Kongtong Island, Zhifu Island
Yantai's island resources are second to none among northern coastal cities. Besides Changdao, three other islands cater to travelers with different paces. Yangma Island is the most developed among them. Legend has it that Emperor Qin Shi Huang kept horses here during his eastern tour, and a monument marking the site of his imperial horse farm still stands on the island. The ring road around the island stretches 18 kilometers with smooth pavement and gentle slopes, taking about 2.5 hours to cycle the full loop. Along the way, you'll pass Tianma Square (featuring the iconic sculpture "Horse Soaring in the Sky"), Zhang Island Cliffs (where waves crash against the rocks below with breathtaking force), and Qinfeng Cliff (a bronze sculpture group of Qin Dynasty war horses and soldiers). The island has no entrance fee. Bicycle rentals cost CNY 20 per hour and electric scooters CNY 40 per hour. It's recommended to start cycling after 3 PM to avoid the midday sun, then enjoy grilled oysters and spicy stir-fried clams at seaside food stalls in the evening.
Kongtong Island lies in the northeastern waters off Yantai city center, reachable by a 20-minute ferry ride from Taiping Bay Pier in Zhifu District. The island retains its original fishing village character, with fewer than 200 residents who make their living from fishing and sea cucumber farming. The island has two highlights: one is the Mazu Temple built in the Yuan Dynasty. Although it does not attract many worshippers, its architecture is simple and ancient, with the painted beams and pillars already peeling, which adds to its sense of historical wear. and the white lighthouse at the island's eastern tip, built in 1936, painted with red and white stripes that gleam strikingly against the blue sky. There are no commercial facilities on the island, so visitors must bring their own water and food—ideal for travelers seeking peace and quiet.
Zhifu Island is Yantai's largest land-tied island, separated from the city by just a bridge, yet most of the island retains its original fishing villages and rocky tidal flats. After driving onto the island, follow the north shore road to see vast sea-eroded cliffs and sea stacks. Among them, "Grandmother Rock" is a massive boulder shaped like the profile of an old woman's face, regarded by local fishermen as their guardian deity. At the western end of the island lie the ruins of Yangzhu Temple, a site where the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period worshipped one of the Eight Spirits. Surviving fragments of steles and foundations remain, offering archaeology enthusiasts a place to reflect on ancient heritage. Zhifu Island has no admission fee, making it ideal for self-drive visitors to explore in half a day.
Port-Opening Culture and Wine Journey: Yantai Hill to Changyu
Yantai was one of the first cities in northern China to open its port. After opening in 1861, 17 countries including Britain, France, and the United States established consulates on Yantai Hill, creating a unique "Museum of International Architecture." The Yantai Hill scenic area preserves over 30 former consulate sites, with the British Consulate (now the Yantai Port-Opening Exhibition Hall), the American Consulate (now the Bing Xin Memorial Hall), and the Japanese Consulate (now the Yantai Peking Opera Art Museum) being the most representative. Architectural styles span British Victorian, American Colonial Revival, and Japanese modern wafu, with details such as red brick walls, arched windows, and wooden louvered shutters well preserved.
It is recommended to hire a guide when visiting Yantai Hill (the scenic area offers free scheduled tours) to gain deeper insight into the historical stories behind each building. For example, the former American Consulate was where Bing Xin spent part of her childhood. She wrote in "My Childhood," "Yantai is the hometown of my soul." The memorial hall displays photographs and manuscripts from various periods of her life. Descend from the north gate of Yantai Hill and walk ten minutes to reach the Changyu Wine Culture Museum.
Changyu is the cradle of China's wine industry, founded in 1892 by patriotic overseas Chinese leader Zhang Bishi. The museum's crown jewel is the underground wine cellar, 7 meters deep with a total area of 2,666 square meters, capable of holding over 600 oak barrels. The cellar maintains a constant temperature of around 15°C year-round, with vaulted ceilings built from blue bricks that glimmer softly under the lights. After the tour, you can taste three wines—dry red, dry white, and ice wine. The ice wine is Changyu's signature product, made from grapes naturally frozen in winter, offering a sweet, mellow taste with hints of honey and dried apricot. If you're interested in winemaking, head to Changyu Castel Winery in the development zone, which features vineyards and a modern production facility. There, you can experience hand-picking grapes (September-October) and blending your own exclusive wine.
A Taste of Lu Cuisine: From Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber to Penglai Noodles
Yantai is the core production area of "Jiaodong Cuisine," one of the two major schools of Lu Cuisine, renowned for its seafood cooking that emphasizes natural flavors and a savory, salty taste. Scallion-braised sea cucumber is the signature dish of Jiaodong Cuisine. It uses sea cucumbers from the Bohai Bay, slowly braised with large scallion segments. The sea cucumber is soft and chewy, with a rich scallion aroma and a thick, glossy sauce. To try this dish in Yantai, we recommend "Penglai Chun" or "Dongshun Guan" in Zhifu District, with an average cost of CNY 150-200 per person and generous portions.
Yantai menzi is the king of street snacks. Sweet potato starch is boiled into a paste, cooled, cut into pieces, and pan-fried until golden on both sides, then drizzled with shrimp oil, garlic paste, and sesame paste. These are sold at stalls on Nanhong Street and in Suochengli, CNY 5-8 per serving—crispy outside, chewy inside, with a rich savory sauce. Spanish mackerel dumplings are the homesickness of Jiaodong people. Fresh mackerel is deboned, minced into a paste, and mixed with ground pork fat and chives for the filling. The dumpling wrappers are thin and the filling generous—one bite and the juices burst out. Penglai's "Jianxing Noodle House" is a local time-honored establishment. Spanish mackerel dumplings cost CNY 30 per serving, paired with a bowl of Penglai thin noodles—noodles as fine as hair, in a clear, savory broth simmered from sea bream bones, topped with tender tofu slices and seaweed. It's an excellent breakfast choice.
Beyond the famous dishes above, Yantai has several other local specialties worth trying: sea cucumber intestine fried rice (sea cucumber intestines are a Yantai specialty, crisp and tender, stir-fried with chives and rice), spicy stir-fried baby octopus (small octopus, flash-fried with dried chilies and broad bean paste), and steamed swimming crab (at its fattest from September to October, with female crabs full of golden roe). For a seafood night market experience, head to the Yanda Market night market in Laishan District. Stalls open after 6 PM, offering a wide selection of shellfish, shrimp, and crab picked fresh and cooked to order—around CNY 80 per person gets you a hearty feast.
Transportation and Accommodation: From Airport and High-Speed Rail to Fisherman's Inns
Yantai Penglai International Airport is located in Penglai District, about 40 km from the city center. A taxi costs around CNY 120, or you can take the airport shuttle bus (CNY 25, about 1 hour, departing every half hour) to the Zhifu District Bus Terminal. For high-speed rail, Yantai Station is located in the city center, adjacent to the Yantai Mountain scenic area, and mainly serves trains to Jinan, Beijing, and Qingdao. Yantai South Station is in Laishan District, closer to Yangma Island, making it convenient for travelers arriving from the Qingdao direction. Self-driving visitors can take the Rongwu Expressway or Shenhai Expressway. Parking in the city generally costs CNY 4-6 per hour, while scenic area parking lots mostly charge CNY 10 per visit.
Public transportation within the city is mainly by bus, with fares of CNY 1-2, and Alipay QR code scanning is supported. The tourist sightseeing bus "Binhai Road Special Line" connects attractions such as Yantai Mountain, Moon Bay, East Fort, and Yellow Sea Pearl, with a fare of CNY 15 for unlimited rides on the same day—the most cost-effective way to sightsee. Taxis have a starting fare of CNY 8, and ride-hailing services respond quickly in the urban area.
Accommodation choices should be based on your itinerary: on the first day, stay in Zhifu District (recommended near Yantai Mountain or Binhai Square; upscale hotels include Shimao Hilton and Baronet Ring, while budget options include Atour and Home Inn) for easy access to old-town attractions. On the second night, stay at a family-run guesthouse on Changdao (there are no star-rated hotels on the island; most guesthouses are family-operated, charging CNY 200-300 per person per day including three seafood meals). If visiting Yangma Island, you can stay at a homestay near Longhu Puti Haiwan in Muping District, where sea-view rooms offer expansive views, priced between CNY 400-800.
Souvenirs and local specialties: apples, wine, and dried seafood
Yantai is rich in produce, and the souvenirs you bring home should embody the essence of "freshness and deliciousness." Yantai apples are a geographical indication product, with those from Qixia City being the most famous—well-shaped, brightly colored, and crisp-sweet in taste. The harvest season runs from mid-October to November, and most apple orchards in Qixia offer picking experiences, with an entrance fee of about CNY 30 per person and apples sold by weight (approximately CNY 6-10 CNY per jin). If you don't visit in autumn, major supermarkets in the city also sell gift-boxed versions, priced between CNY 50-100.
Changyu Wine is another calling card of the city. The museum shop and specialized liquor stores in the urban area offer dry red, dry white, and ice wines from various vintages. It's recommended to buy small bottles (375ml) for easy carrying, with prices ranging from CNY 80 to 300. Dried seafood is also a popular choice—dried shrimp, dried small shrimp, laver, kelp, shredded squid, and more. These can be purchased at Hongli Aquatic Products Market or the dried goods shops on Nanhong Street, where prices are over 30% cheaper than at scenic spots. Be sure to check the expiration date and place of origin when buying.
Additionally, Yantai wool embroidery is a traditional local handicraft, using embroidery thread as pigment and a needle as a brush. The embroidered pieces feature rich color layers and make excellent cultural gifts. The Suochengli Historical and Cultural District is home to several wool embroidery studios where you can watch artisans create their work on-site. A piece measuring 30cm square sells for around CNY 200.
Budget and Pace: Balancing Budget Travel and Comfort
Yantai's travel costs are at a moderate level among northern coastal cities. Taking the classic three-day, two-night route as an example, the average per-person total cost is approximately CNY 1800-2500 (excluding long-distance transportation). For tickets: Penglai Pavilion CNY 100, Yantai Hill CNY 50, Changyu Museum CNY 80, round-trip ferry to Changdao CNY 90, and the Changdao scenic area combo ticket (including Jiuzhang Cliff, Crescent Bay, and Fairyland Source) CNY 120, totaling about CNY 440. Daily dining costs around CNY 150-200 per person (including one seafood meal), accommodation for two nights about CNY 400-600 (fishing village guesthouse CNY 200/night, city hotel CNY 300-400/night), and local transport and taxis about CNY 150.
To trim the budget, consider these strategies: first, travel in the off-season (November to March), when most scenic spots offer 20% off tickets and fishing village guesthouse rates drop to CNY 150 per person per day; Second, use public buses instead of taxis. Yantai's bus network covers major attractions, with a single trip costing CNY 2. third, bring your own packed lunch and save seafood feasts for dinner. For a more comfortable experience, upgrade to a five-star sea-view hotel (such as Sheraton Yantai Golden Beach, around CNY 1200/night in peak season) and book a private car service (about CNY 600/day) for a more relaxed itinerary.
Accessibility guide for seniors, children, and those with limited mobility
Yantai's coastal terrain poses some challenges for those with limited mobility, but major attractions are equipped with accessible facilities. Yantai Mountain Scenic Area has electric carts (CNY 10 one-way) that go directly to the hilltop lighthouse; the main walking trail is wheelchair accessible. Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area has many steps, but you can take the gentler ramp path on the east side, and the scenic area provides free wheelchair rentals (with a CNY 500 deposit). On Changdao's Jiuzhang Cliff, some sections of the boardwalk are steep, so seniors and children should proceed with caution; Crescent Bay, however, is flat and easy to navigate, suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
For families with elderly members, it is recommended to slow down the pace, scheduling no more than two major attractions per day, with a 1-hour nap after lunch. Yantai is cool in summer, but UV rays are strong, so elderly visitors need sun protection and adequate hydration. For children, the island cycling and beach play at Yangma Island are the most popular; the vineyard at Changyu Kasteel Winery offers parent-child grape-picking activities (advance reservation required); and Yantai Haichang Whale Shark Ocean Park (Laishan District) features shark and dolphin shows, suitable for preschool-aged children.
For those with limited mobility, the following accessible facilities are worth noting: Yantai Hill Lighthouse has an elevator directly to the observation deck; The walking path at Binhai Square is flat and step-free; Changdao Pier has a wheelchair lift platform, but most of the island's family-run guesthouses are old-style houses with thresholds at the entrances—contact the owners in advance to confirm if accessible room types are available.
Parent-Child Educational Tours: Nature Classes and Historical Enlightenment
Yantai is an ideal destination for parent-child educational tours, where the mountains and sea themselves serve as natural textbooks. At Changdao National Geopark, children can witness the formation of marine erosion landforms firsthand—the rock layers at Jiuzhang Cliff contain embedded shells and marine fossils, with interpretive signs explaining the principles of crustal movement and wave erosion in accessible language. The pebble beach at Crescent Bay is a great teaching aid for physics lessons, where children can observe stones of different colors and textures to learn the differences between minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica.
The Changyu Wine Culture Museum has designed a dedicated children's interactive zone where kids can mix "non-alcoholic cocktails" with grape juice and take part in oak barrel graffiti activities. In the Opening Port Exhibition Hall at Yantai Mountain Scenic Area, there is an interactive device simulating telegraph transmission, allowing children to experience communication methods from a century ago. If time permits, Muping Kunyu Mountain National Forest Park is another excellent study destination—it serves as the green barrier of the Jiaodong Peninsula, with a forest coverage rate of 92% and the reputation of a "natural oxygen bar." Taibo Peak stands at 923 meters above sea level, and climbing to the summit offers a chance to observe the vertical changes in mountain vegetation zones.
The Mou Family Manor in Qixia is a vivid site for historical education. This manor, first built during the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty, covers an area of 20,000 square meters and contains over 480 halls, rooms, and towers, making it the largest landlord manor in northern China. The manor preserves complete scenes of feudal family life—accounting rooms, pharmacies, private schools, and opera stages are all present, allowing children to learn about the patriarchal clan system and farming culture of the Jiaodong region during the Qing Dynasty. The manor also regularly hosts a "Little Accountant" experience activity, where children use abacuses and brushes to simulate bookkeeping.
Photography Spots: Sunrise, Sunset, and the City Skyline
Yantai's coastline faces various directions, offering photographers a wealth of vantage points. The best sunrise spot is at Changdao's Fairyland Source—around 5 a.m., the sun rises above the sea horizon, with jagged rocks and waves in the foreground and a gradient orange-purple sky in the background. A wide-angle lens and tripod are recommended. If you don't want to get up early, Dongpaotai in Zhifu District is also a great spot for sunrise—the ancient iron cannons at the fort ruins create a dialogue between history and nature against the sea sunrise.
At sunset, the Yantai Hill Lighthouse is the top choice for photography. After climbing the tower, shoot westward—the setting sun gilds the entire city in gold, and the fishing boats in Zhifu Bay with the silhouette of Kongtong Island in the distance offer rich layers. Another off-the-beaten-path spot is near the "Big Shell" sculpture at Binhai Square—shooting from a low angle can frame the sculpture, waves, and evening glow together. Qinfeng Cliff on Yangma Island is a great place for star photography—far from the city's light pollution, the Milky Way can be seen stretching across the sky on summer nights, but be sure to watch the tide times to stay safe.
The best spot for shooting the city skyline is the hilltop at the eastern tip of Zhifu Island, where you can overlook the full panorama of downtown Yantai—high-rise clusters running parallel to the coastline, with the Yellow Sea sparkling under the sunlight. To capture the classic angle of Penglai Pavilion, take a boat to the Tianheng Mountain side and look back at Danya Mountain from the sea—the outline of the pavilions and cliffs is most complete from there.
In-depth exploration of ancient architecture and red culture: Suochengli, Dongpaotai, and the Yang Zirong Memorial Hall
Yantai is rich in ancient architecture and red culture resources, well worth an in-depth visit. Suochengli is the birthplace of Yantai city, first built during the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, serving as a thousand-household garrison town for coastal defense at the time. Today's Suochengli has been restored, preserving the blue-brick, grey-tile Ming and Qing dwellings and flagstone streets. Within the area are intangible cultural heritage workshops for paper-cutting, wool embroidery, and dough figurines, as well as several teahouses and cafés. Strolling through, you can feel the vibrant everyday life of old Yantai, and the "Qishan Suocheng" archway here is an iconic landmark.
East Fort is located in the northeast of Zhifu District, a relic of a late-Qing coastal defense fortress built in 1891, which, together with the forts at Lüshun and Weihaiwei, formed the Beiyang Navy's defense system. The fort houses five Krupp cannons, their muzzles pointing toward the Yellow Sea, and they remain in excellent condition to this day. The scenic area also features a sculpture group of "Li Hongzhang Reviewing the Beiyang Fleet" and a live display of the underground ammunition depot. East Fort is open to the public free of charge, making it an ideal stop for history enthusiasts to spend an hour exploring in detail.
In terms of red culture, the Yang Zirong Memorial Hall in Muping District is a must-visit. Yang Zirong was the prototype for the reconnaissance hero in "Tracks in the Snowy Forest," who died in 1947 during a bandit-suppression battle in Mudanjiang. The memorial hall displays his life story, artifacts from the battles, and video materials. The memorial hall is located in Yang Zirong's hometown—Yujiahe Village, Muping District—with a martyrs' cemetery behind it, shaded by verdant pines and cypresses, solemn and serene. Additionally, the Anti-Japanese Martyrs' Monument on Yantai Hill is a place for remembrance, with inscriptions listing the names of martyrs who fell in the Battle of Leishen Temple in 1938.
Nearby connections: Kunyu Mountain, Mou's Manor, and Zhaoyuan Gold Panning Town
The surrounding counties and cities of Yantai each have their own character, making it worthwhile to extend your trip to five days or more. Kunyu Mountain National Forest Park in Muping District is the birthplace of the Quanzhen School of Taoism, where Wang Chongyang and the "Seven Quanzhen Masters" once practiced their teachings. The Yanyan Cave, Shenqing Temple, and other relics in the mountain are well preserved. Taibo Peak is the highest summit on the Jiaodong Peninsula. From the top, you can see the sea and sky merge into one line. The mountain features waterfalls and streams, and summer temperatures are 5-8°C cooler than in the city, making it an ideal spot for escaping the heat and hiking. Admission is CNY 40, and the one-way cable car ride is CNY 50.
Mou's Manor in Qixia City pairs well with a visit to Kunyu Mountain, as the two sites are about 30 kilometers apart. The manor's "Three Carvings" (brick, wood, and stone) are exquisite, with the "Tiger Skin Wall" being the most famous—its surface uses stones of different colors to form patterns of plum blossoms, copper coins, and gourd gourds, symbolizing good fortune. The manor also houses a folk museum showcasing customs of the Jiaodong region, including weddings, festivals, and farming traditions.
Zhaoyuan City is known as "China's Gold Capital." The Gold Panning Town, located near Luoshan National Forest Park, is an experience-based scenic area built around ancient gold mining ruins. Visitors can try their hand at gold panning—repeatedly washing sand in a wooden pan over a trough. If you're lucky, you might find fine gold flakes (which you can take home as a souvenir). The town also houses a Gold Museum, showcasing the entire process from ore mining to refining, along with exhibits of gold artifacts from various dynasties. Admission is CNY 60; it is recommended to visit together with Luoshan Forest Park (combined ticket CNY 100).
If time permits, head south to Zhaohu Mountain National Forest Park in Haiyang, or west to Nanshan Scenic Area in Longkou (home to one of the world's largest tin-bronze seated Buddhas). All these surrounding destinations are connected to downtown Yantai by expressways, making self-driving the most convenient option.
