ChanDu

It is a cafe located in Zhifu District, Yantai City, and it is also a century-old lighthouse. It not only has delicious coffee and desserts, but also has a unique sea view and cultural atmosphere. The feature of this cafe is the building where it is located-Yantai Lighthouse. Built in 1900, this lighthouse is one of the earliest Western-style lighthouses in China and one of the landmark buildings in Yantai. You can feel a blend of history and modernity here, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky. The environment of this cafe is very comfortable and warm, with a simple and stylish decoration style, and various lighthouse-related decorations. You can find a comfortable corner here to enjoy a cup of fragrant coffee, or a delicate dessert, or a good book. Whether you are looking for relaxation and enjoyment, or looking for knowledge and culture, you can find a satisfactory answer here.

In winter, Yantai presents its unique cold and gloomy beauty. Although the trip lasted only three days, it was enough to appreciate the charm of Yantai. It is especially recommended to experience the freshness and pleasantness of Yantai in summer, while in winter, you can feel the unique coastal atmosphere, avoid the peak of crowds, and enjoy the tranquility. Our itinerary did not follow the conventional route, but was flexibly adjusted in combination with local climatic conditions. One of the highlights is the Caishan Lighthouse Store near the Yantai-Dalian Beach - Zongdu Coffee, where you can not only taste delicious coffee, but also enjoy the magnificent view of the Pearl of the Yellow Sea. The Bailang Coffee located around the Haichang Fisherman's Wharf is also a must-see place, which complements the beautiful seaside scenery. In addition, the island diary next to the first beach has a super romantic environment and is very suitable for taking pictures. Regarding attractions, Yantai Mountain Scenic Area and Housha Square have their own characteristics. The former has a rich historical heritage, while the latter is an ideal place for a leisurely stroll. Although Yangma Island was not visited due to weather conditions, it is definitely worth a visit on a sunny day, as the natural scenery there is extremely beautiful. In Jinshatan Seaside Park, although the winter wind is strong, you can still enjoy a different beach style after dressing fully and taking good warm-keeping measures. Remind all friends who travel to Yantai in winter to be sure to prepare enough cold-proof equipment, such as hats, gloves, scarves, and warm baby stickers. In addition, considering the changeable weather conditions in Yantai in winter, you should pay close attention to the weather forecast before traveling, and try to avoid traveling in bad weather conditions to avoid affecting your itinerary plan. For certain specific places, such as Kaihuashi, if all the companions are women, especially at night, it is recommended to carefully consider whether to go there or go mountaineering. In short, a trip to Yantai has its own charm in both winter and summer. As long as you plan in advance and arrange your itinerary reasonably, you can have an unforgettable travel experience. I hope that the above personalized strategy can bring substantial help to friends who are about to set off for Yantai.

Recently I wanted to find a northern seaside place to escape the summer heat and watch the sea. I have been to Qingdao many times, and Weihai is also very popular during the summer vacation, so I decided to go to Yantai for a two-day and one-night trip. The result really exceeded my expectations. Except for the seasonal enteromorpha, which is recommended to be avoided in July and August, there are no other disadvantages. Yantai people are more enthusiastic and generous, and they are very popular. The following is my extreme two-day and one-night Yantai citywalk guide for the weekend. If you have enough time, three days and two nights are enough. Day 1: Hangzhou-Yantai Check in Yantai Zhongze Huayi Pullman Hotel. Afternoon: Suchengli Street-Fisherman's Wharf-White Wave Coffee-Second Beach to watch the sunset. Evening: Night view of Yantai-Dalian Beach-Yantai-Dalian Food Street. Day 2: Morning: ChanDu Coffee (Lighthouse Store)-Yantai Mountain-Chaoyang Street. Afternoon: Yangma Island-Pink Beach-Golden Beach Seaside Park-Lian Yantai Auditorium-Lonely Whale. In the evening, go to Penglai Airport from Golden Beach and return to Hangzhou. Recommended check-in spots: 1. Suochengli Street (P4-6): It is just 100 meters below the hotel where I stayed. The street is not big and there are not many people. The Yantai Wall is very good to take pictures. There are several restaurants in the street, all of which are pretty good. 2. Fisherman's Wharf (P8-9): You need to find a good angle, but it is comfortable to take a walk on the wooden boardwalk in the evening and enjoy the breeze. It is still worth a visit. Bailang Coffee; It is right at Fisherman's Wharf. The taste and scenery are good. The sofa is very comfortable and you can sit there for an afternoon. In the evening, you can move to the outdoor seats to enjoy the sea breeze. 3. The Second Bathing Beach (P3): It is not far from Fisherman's Wharf. The sunset is also beautiful. The point is that there are much fewer people than the First Bathing Beach and Yantai Bathing Beach. The sea water is also very clear. There are self-service lockers and foot bathing areas. If you don't want to eat dumplings, you can come here. 4. Yangma Island Bridge (P1): I took this photo on the way back to the city from Yangma Island. I used it as my mobile phone wallpaper when I went back. I love this photo. 5. Yangma Island (P11): Needless to say, the wooden pier is really a bit like the water house pier in Maldives, and the water is very clear. There was a photo-taking spot with too many people queuing up. In fact, it was just for taking pictures. It was just a corridor like a cave. Standing there to take pictures was quite disturbing for people to come in and out, so I didn't stay. 6. Pink Beach (P2): Found it on the way back to the city from Yangma Island. You can go down to the beach to step on the water. It's not that pink, but it's beautiful for taking pictures. The beach will only be exposed when the tide is low. There are many seagulls standing on it, and it feels like a blockbuster. Not recommended: Lonely Whale: It is not recommended to make a special trip. The sculpture is not as beautiful as the photo, and it is not lonely at all. There are so many people that the eraser pen can't be used. I passed by on the way to the airport and took a look and left, and took a photo casually. The sand in Jinshatan Seaside Park is very fine and soft, and the sea breeze is very comfortable. It's not good to look at it up close. There is green algae in this season, which looks dirty. It is recommended to come again in another season. This trip to Yantai really surprised me. The city is clean and tidy, the people are warm and friendly, and the scenery is beautiful and charming. I spent two days and one night here. If you want to find a place to escape the summer heat and watch the sea in the north, Yantai is definitely a good choice! #睡过才才懂的高端酒店 #烟台旅行

Have you not had your own time for a long time? Have you not had a good meal or a cup of coffee for a long time? Sitting in the cubicle, my fingertips kept tapping the keyboard, but my thoughts had already flown away... In Yantai, Starbucks is not the only coffee shop. There are many coffee shops hidden in the streets and alleys, which are worth your personal ordering and finding a unique taste. Today, let me take you to explore the coffee story of Yantai~ coffee & sea: This coffee shop is located in the courtyard of Huanghai Entertainment City, under a white lighthouse. Sitting in the store, you can see the big ball of Huanghai Pearl, and below is the beach and the endless sea. The scenery is super good. The coffee shop is round, with windows and seats all around, and a bar in the middle. Many beautiful girls are checking in and taking pictures. Not far away is Huanghai Pearl and Hefei destroyer, and you can go sightseeing after drinking coffee. My friend and I each ordered a latte, which tasted pretty good [OK] Your life should not be occupied only by busy work and complicated trivial matters. There is always some time worth being "wasted". Find a weekend or a quiet afternoon, walk through the streets and alleys of Yantai, walk into a cafe, and taste a different life... #walking the streets and alleys to find coffee #cafe #how to play in Yantai #Yantai travel guide #Yantai food exploration

I recommended a 3-day, 2-night travel guide to Yantai before. Today, I will introduce the local delicacies I discovered! 1⃣️Penglai noodles: a kind of soup noodles with thick and light soup. You can add some seafood to it. Those who like seafood will find it very delicious, and those who don’t like seafood may find it a bit fishy. 2⃣️Yantai pimple soup: different from ordinary pimple soup, adding seafood greatly improves the freshness of the soup. Many pimple soup restaurants are on the list of local delicacies! 3⃣️鲅鱼水饺: a specialty food in the Jiaodong area. I also ate it at "Little Red Whale". I ordered a big dumpling. I was full after eating it... 4⃣️Sea cucumber fried rice: although this dish is a bit expensive, it is worth a try! The chewy sea intestines are paired with the rich aroma of leeks, and the fried rice is really super fragrant! This dish should be available in every restaurant in Yantai. 5⃣️Sea urchin steamed egg: Sweet sea urchin with slippery steamed egg, it's so delicious! 6⃣️Yantai stew: Local specialty food, poured with sesame and garlic sauce, it tastes like Beijing's fried sausage! But the taste is different, the fried sausage is crisper, and this one has a denser taste. 7⃣️North Korean & Korean cuisine: Yantai is relatively close to the Korean Peninsula, there are many Korean cuisines, and of course there are many Korean supermarkets, with a wall full of Korean instant noodles! 8⃣️Local Internet celebrity cafes: Yantai has a lot of local coffees, which are quite suitable for visiting! For example, CHANDU, Bailang, Tinghai (I personally think Bailang tastes better) 9⃣️9 point handmade burger: I cried! I didn't have any hope for this kind of commercial street food in the city, but I was really attracted by the fragrance when I passed by. I ordered a black truffle foie gras beef burger, which was large and delicious! I was the only one who ordered it, but in the end, all four of us ended up eating this... I didn't expect that the biggest food surprise in Yantai would be a hamburger! 🍔 ————————Dividing line———————— Restaurants and locations mentioned in the notes: 📍8 Fresh Penglai Noodles (Huangshan Road Store): Close to Lonely Whale, a roadside store, relatively small, but many people come to eat early in the morning. 📍Little Red Whale (Laishan District): I deliberately found a branch far away from the city, but there was still a long queue... There are many dishes, the quality is acceptable, but not amazing. 📍Fisherman's Courtyard (Nianci Villa Store): Recommended by locals, the place is large, and the dishes are delicious! 📍CHANDU Coffee (Lighthouse Store): Right under the Yellow Sea Pearl Lighthouse, the environment is very special, but the dishes taste average, only suitable for taking pictures📷 📍White Wave Coffee: Near the Fisherman's Wharf Pier, their coffee is better, they have their own special dishes, and the environment is also very good! Recommended! 📍Hometown Food (Hengda Comprehensive Farmers Market): A Korean supermarket with a wide variety of products, two floors, with snacks, drinks and daily necessities! 📍9 o'clock handmade burgers: on the commercial street in Suchengli #Where to go on the weekend #Yantai Food #Yantai Travel #Local Specialty Snacks #Really Delicious Snacks Collection
