海岛日记(养马岛店)

A great coffee shop for taking photos and checking in. The scenery is beautiful and the coffee is good. I recommend it.

☁️"The wind on the seaside, the rain on the eaves, I still like you the same after all the twists and turns" This cafe that I want to sit in every time I go back to Yantai is on Yangma Island. ☁️Turning left at the end of the road going up from Tianma Square, you can see the white building standing on the coast. Island Diary has become a symbol of Yangma Island. It is not only a seaside cafe☕, but also a homestay in summer🏨, and a wedding venue👰🏻💒🤵. ☁️The white building on the seaside has 2 floors, and the homestay has 3 floors. It faces north and south, and the homestay and the cafe are connected by a spacious small courtyard. In winter, most people like warm🔥 indoor seats, but I prefer the open area on the second floor. It is spacious and you can also feel the fierce north wind🌪️, the blazing afternoon sun🌞, the warm and charming sunset🌇, and the sound of waves🌊. ☁️It is probably a very happy thing for tourists to use Yantai specialty Yanshu 25🍠 as a special blend😁, but when you learn that it is sold out, the disappointment is doubled😞! Fortunately, there is a specially customized [Yantai] cup grip, a cup of strong grapefruit black tea down the throat🍊, warm. Osmanthus latte☕ can taste the fragrance of osmanthus. ☁️This winter, you must come to this island to taste the Yanshu 25 special blend~ ☕Store name: Island Diary 📍Address: Building 2, No. 397, Huanhai Road, Yangma Island, Muping District, Yantai City #New Year's First Tour #2021 New Year Must-Brush Destination #Immersive Winter #New Year's Coolest Travel #Flying New Year Self-Driving Tour

🌊Yantai｜Living life like the sea, even the wind carries a salty-sweet taste 🌅Must-Visit Coastlines ▪️ Yangma Island Back Sea Don't miss it when driving around the island! The seawater below the cliffs is layered with blue, white waves crash against the black reefs. Wear denim shorts, sit on the reefs, feet dangling in mid-air, take a side profile photo looking up at the sea, even if the sea breeze blows your hair wildly, it still looks good. ▪️ Penglai Pavilion Stand atop Dan Cliff Mountain to see a "mirage" (it all depends on luck!), but even if you don't see it, the red walls and gray tiles against the yellow sea are absolutely stunning. Rent a Hanfu and stroll among the ancient buildings, turn a corner and you'll encounter the "Eight Immortals" in their traditional robes, take a photo together and feel like you've stepped out of a myth! ▪️ Golden Beach The beach at dusk looks like it's sprinkled with gold dust! Barefoot on the fine sand, watch the sunset dye the seawater an orange-scented hue, find a beach buggy and take some "backlit" photos, the red line drawn by the bike's taillights contrasting with the sunset's hue—your social media feed will be flooded with questions! 🍤Seafood Feast Guide ▪️ Spot yourselves at Dongkou Fishing Port! Fishing boats dock at 3 PM, and live mantis shrimp and oysters are sold by the basin—you can buy a huge bag for 50 yuan. Find a nearby restaurant to cook them; steamed oysters with ginger and vinegar are so fresh you'll want to swallow your tongue! ▪️ Must-try: Mackerel dumplings at roadside stalls! Freshly made and cooked, these plump dumplings burst with juice when you bite into them, the fish meat mixed with the aroma of chives—15 yuan a plate, served with a bowl of seafood noodle soup, warming you right up! ▪️ Don't hesitate to try the grilled sea cucumbers at the night market! Sizzling and oily from the charcoal grill, sprinkled with cumin, each bite is crisp, tender, and chewy. Only 5 yuan a skewer—perfect for sharing with friends! 📸Photo Tips ▫️ Yangma Island: Wear a straw hat! Capture the moment you bend down to tie your shoelaces by the "Island Diary" sign, with the blue sea and windmills in the background—perfect for a Japanese-style vibe! ▫️ Penglai Pavilion: Find a crabapple tree! In spring, when the flowers bloom, stand under the tree in a light-colored dress, petals falling on your shoulders. Take a close-up of yourself "reaching out to catch a flower"—so gentle and sweet! ▫️ In front of the old buildings on Chaoyang Street! Wear a retro trench coat, lean against the red brick wall, a glass of Yantai beer in hand. When the streetlights come on, it looks like you're filming a 90s Hong Kong movie! ⚠️Avoid these scams! • Don't believe those cheap "Penglai Fairy Island day trip" tours! Most of these tours will take you to shopping spots; it's more comfortable to take the bus to Penglai Pavilion yourself. • Don't let the vendors "bag" your seafood! Keep an eye on the scales, and make sure to poke a hole in the plastic bag beforehand to prevent water from seeping out, otherwise the weighing will be inaccurate. • Bring a light jacket to the beach in summer! The sea breeze is very cool in the evening, and you can easily catch a cold if you stay in it for too long. (Hidden tip: Go to Yantaishan Lighthouse in the early morning! Watch the fishing boats emerge from the mist, take a "silhouette photo under the lighthouse," even the air feels like the sea's morning kiss~) #YantaiTravel #YantaiTravelGuide #YantaiTourism #YantaiYangmaIsland #YantaiFood
