Yantai

Yantai is a city on the coast which is as beautiful as a fairy tale. Here there are blue seas, white sands, clear waters, and green waves everywhere. It is a great place to beat the summer heat and play in the waves. Step into the Penglai Pavilion to see the birthplace legend of the eight immortals crossing the sea; climb atop Zhifu Island, where the traces of the Emperor Qin Shihuang’s visit more than 2,000 years ago still remain; walk on the streets of Yantai to the completely preserved foreign consulates of the modern era, where foreign architecture and the feel of the mountains and sea merge as one. Yantai's Zhangyu wine enjoys domestic and foreign renown and at the Zhangyu Wine Culture Museum you can learn about the development and history of Zhangyu wine and sample fine wines. The sweet Yantai apples are also a great gift to bring back for friends and relatives.
