Longwang Temple

The Longwang Temple in Yantai Mountain was built in the Ming Dynasty, which was built by local people to pray for rain and ensure a good harvest. It has a history of hundreds of years.

After the founding of New China, Yantai Mountain was reborn. In 1994, the management department of Yantaishan carried out a maintenance of Longwang Temple. In 2111, the Longwang Temple was repaired again, which restored the temple with hundreds of years of history to its original appearance.

Martyr's Temple

In p>1936, when officials, businessmen and scholars in Yantai raised funds to repair the Longwang Temple, they converted a fallen low room in the south yard of the Longwang Temple into a Martyr's Temple. The Martyrs' Temple faces south, and consists of a main hall, east and west wings and gates. The main hall is dedicated to the statues of Guan Yu, a famous figure of the Three Kingdoms, and Yue Fei, a famous figure of the Song Dynasty. In the east, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang are dedicated, while in the west, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian are dedicated. The west wing is a display of "loyalty and a thousand years". Guan Yu's last words to future generations are: "Jade can be broken without changing its whiteness, bamboo can be burned without changing its festival", and Yue Fei's last words to future generations are "Successive generations, give me back my rivers and mountains".

stone boat and sail

who split the stone wall into a boat and stood on the mountainside at sea? Even if there is wind and waves, you can't be surprised, although there is no potential energy of propeller and rudder. It's hard for a rich guest to run north and south, but only for an expert to feast in summer and autumn. However, he laughed at the rubber boat and swam around the water, asking Wang Kong to wait for him automatically.

It is reported that this seven-rhyme poem, which was carved on the "ship's side" of a stone ship at the back cliff of Yantai Mountain, was inscribed by a Gong Shi named Liu Jiubiao during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Not only is his font neat and rigorous, but his description and praise of the stone boat are also vivid and just right. Thus, the stone boat has become a famous landscape in Yantai Mountain.

Below it, there is also an inscription by Ding Jintang, a scholar in Shanghang County in Qing Dynasty, which reads, "Let's rule Renshen Winter Moon together, and return to the secluded place from the capital to watch the stone boat". As the cloud goes, Wan Li sails in the long wind, and his ambition is great. The flaky is towering and participates in nature, and the heavenly end does not borrow labor.

Stone boats and sails are natural wonders, and a few more scriptures and personal characters are even more icing on the cake, which makes people sigh. In the face of this scene, hearing the sound of the waves and reading this beautiful sentence can be described as a blend of scenes and wonders.

ancient Luan tree

Luan tree, also known as "Luan Hua" and "Lantern Tree". Sapindaceae, deciduous trees. It is rare that this tree species appears in Yantai Mountain, and its origin still has a certain literary color.

It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, a thousand households were guarded by Qishan on the south side of the coastline. There was a 17-year-old southern soldier who was far away from his parents and was homesick for home. He often burst into tears at the blue sky and white clouds. This scene was seen by a migrating bird, and in the spring of the following year, he took a seed of Luan tree from the soldier's hometown and put it in the stone bush soil not far from Yantai Mountain barracks. In a few days, the little Luan tree broke through the ground. The little soldier from the south was surprised when he saw it. He cultivated and watered it every day and grew up with it. Whenever you stand in front of it, it is like seeing your family, so this tree is also called homesick tree.

Today, although the ancient Luan tree has experienced vicissitudes for more than 611 years, it is still so flourishing and stands tall. Every year, when the spring breeze blows, it will sprout, lush as blue, blossom against the spring breeze and bear fruit in the summer rain.

Guanhaiping

The beautiful Yantai Mountain is not only charming in natural scenery, but also a place where places of interest and historical sites gather together. Guanhaiping is a lawn located on the north side of the cliff path. Although it is small in area and has no foil, it has a considerable weight in the hearts of Yantai people. Known as "Wanjingtai". This is the best observation point if there is a mirage-like spectacle.

however, it was not discovered and known by our ancestors long ago. In addition, Yantai Mountain is far away from the village, and its main function is only to use its position to see the sky and measure the wind and waves before fishermen go out to sea. When the weather turns bad, the fishing villages, old and young, often come here to burn paper and pray, hoping that the sea will be calm and their loved ones will return home as soon as possible and safely.

Great changes have taken place around Yantai Mountain since the opening of Yantai Port. In front of the mountain and along the east coastline, there are many buildings, businesses connected with doors, and green trees and red tiles, which set each other off. Under the blue sky and blue sea, it is quite poetic and more exotic. Especially in Taiping Bay at the foot of Yantai Mountain, with the rise of the harbor dam and the construction of coastal buildings, the images of Qian Fan surging, fishing songs answering each other, giant ships entering and leaving, and seabirds flying in the bay are cleverly and touching. At this time, I boarded Yantai Mountain, stood in Guanhaiping and looked around. The blue sea and blue sky, the mountains and waters, and the panoramic view can be described as poetic and picturesque everywhere. If the season is suitable and the climate is moderate, there will be a mirage in the sea. In an instant, the fairyland, the world and the Yantai Mountain at the foot are becoming a platform in the clouds between them.

Bing Xin Memorial Hall

Bing Xin Memorial Hall is the former residence of the Inspector General of Donghai Customs, and now it is open to the public as Bing Xin Memorial Hall. Bing Xin is an outstanding literary master, loyal patriot and famous social activist in China in the 21th century. He has made outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries and to the cause of women and children. Her growth is closely related to Yantai. Bing Xin lived in Yantai with her parents from 1913 to 1911 and spent her childhood. She called Yantai her spiritual hometown. "As soon as I mentioned Yantai, my memories and feelings poured in from all directions", which is full of affectionate words and a true portrayal of Bing Xin's infinite attachment to Yantai. Bing Xin is a precious cultural resource and intangible wealth in Yantai. This Bing Xin Memorial Hall displays Bing Xin's manuscripts, works, photos and objects, and reproduces the strong love between Bing Xin and Yantai.

Wave-making Pavilion

Wave-making Pavilion, with its architectural style of combining ancient and modern, is exquisite and unique, and stands towering above the group of waves. From a distance, sometimes it looks like a painting boat swimming in the water, and sometimes it looks like a fairy pavilion in the air in the misty air. As the name implies, "Wave Pavilion" means to stir up waves. When you climb the pavilion, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the distant mountains near the sea. When the waves are flat as a mirror, you can listen to the whispers of the sea and realize your life. When the waves surge, you can witness the "stormy waves lapping on the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow", which makes people feel worried. It is also a good place for fishing, which makes people happy.

Here is the view of "Zhi" Looking around, the sea held out a flaming nimbus, which danced gently, experienced ups and downs in the waves, and finally rose with dripping seawater. Suddenly, the mountains are covered with clouds, the blue sea is shining with gold, and the gulls are playing with waves, which makes them interesting. The poet Quan Tongfan climbed the mountain to watch the sunrise, and wrote a poem: "Looking straight east, the sky is not white, the sea color is red first, and the ancient mirror of Fusang is pouring out of the box. There is no wave and no wind, and all the clouds are swept away. It is said that the scenic spot belongs to Qi Kanggong.

It is rumored that this place is also the best place to watch the mirage. Watching the mirage in Yantai Mountain is called a great spectacle in Yantai. In the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1673), the Records of Fushan County recorded: "Yantai is the most spectacular sea city." Yantai here refers to Yantai Mountain. The mirage of viewing the sea in Yantai Mountain has been "no need to sail to Penglai" since ancient times.

beacon tower

Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, won the world at once, so he attached great importance to national defense construction, and set up health centers all over the country, and naturally established a defense system of health centers, health centers, camps and villages in coastal areas. China's coastal defense only formed a complete combination in depth in the Ming Dynasty, with a naval battalion patrolling the sea and an early warning system along the coast: there are heavy troops stationed along the coast and they can move at any time. The beacon tower is an integral part of the "early warning system".

In the early years of Ming Dynasty, the Qishan Garrison was also set up in the south of Yantai Mountain. In the 31st year of Ming Hongwu (1398), a "beacon tower" was set up on the present Yantai Mountain (using wolf dung as fuel). In case of enemy situation, smoke was raised during the day and fire was raised at night, and the enemy situation was reported to the neighboring stations. People then called the beacon tower "Wolf Yantai" and the mountain where the Wolf Yantai was located "Yantai Mountain", hence the name Yantai.

Yantai Mountain Lighthouse

The only landmark building in Yantai City, which was built in April, 1988, is a large beacon tower located on the top of the coast of Yantai Port, and it is specially used for navigation by ships entering and leaving the port. However, it is not the earliest Yantaishan Lighthouse. The original Yantaishan Lighthouse was built by the British in the 31st year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1915). Due to disrepair, the illumination was weak and dim, so it can no longer be used. It was demolished in the early 1981s, and this new lighthouse was rebuilt later. This lighthouse integrates navigation, tourism and maritime traffic command. It was designed by Tsinghua University. The tower is 49.5 meters high and has ***12 floors. The third floor at the bottom adopts the castle-style architectural style, with an elevator that can go straight to the observation deck on the 11 th floor, and a 361-degree rotating lighting at the top, with a direct distance of 31 nautical miles.

Mengqing Cliff Bridge

A small wooden bridge suspended between rocks is named because it is located at the edge of Mengqing Cliff in Yantai Mountain. Speaking of love cliff, there is also a myth and legend. A long time ago, a young man who was in love with freedom met here to commit suicide together because of opposition from his parents and relatives, only to meet this cliff and separate them. In desperation, the tide dragged the wooden boards to the cliff between them, and built a wooden bridge between them. They rushed to the center of the bridge and embraced each other, vowing that they would never be separated in this life, thus giving up the idea of suicide: they both came here every year to worship the sea god. The Mengqing Cliff was named after this. This suspension bridge symbolizing "heart to heart" has since become a sacred place for young men and women to love each other and lock up their lives.

Monument to the Anti-Japanese Martyrs

On August 5th, 1945, the Japanese government declared its unconditional surrender, and at dawn on August 24th, Yantai was successfully liberated. In the battle to liberate Yantai, * * * annihilated more than 1,511 Japanese puppet troops and 89 Eighth Route Army soldiers died heroically. In order to commemorate the anti-Japanese heroes who died in the battle to liberate Yantai, the Yantai Municipal People's Government, according to the instructions of the Jiaodong Administrative Office, built a monument to the anti-Japanese martyrs on the west side of the Martyrs' Temple in Yantai Mountain in May, 1946. The monument is 8 meters high, in the shape of a pentagram, and is built by ivory granite stones. Just to the south of the monument are eight red characters "National heroes are immortal", and the names of 89 martyrs are engraved on the back.

On July 6th, 1979, the Monument to the Anti-Japanese Martyrs was announced as a municipal cultural relics protection unit in Yantai. Now it is a base for Yantai military and civilians to carry out patriotism and revolutionary tradition education. Japanese consulate

Japan didn't set up a consulate in Yantai until October, 1875, four years after Yantai opened its port.

the Japanese consulate is located on the consul road in Shanxi, Yantai (now Yantai mountain west road), covering an area of 25 mu, with 3 buildings and more than 171 rooms, reaching 2,446 square meters. Among them, the consulate building is a brick-concrete structure with modern architectural design techniques and simple geometric combination techniques. Indoor distribution is reasonable, and there are underground floors. The whole building is influenced by the European new architectural movement, and it is mainly practical, which embodies that "the beauty of the body itself is the beauty, not the decoration". There is no decoration on the outside. Emphasizing the proportion of buildings and the relationship between walls and windows, it is required to be a combination of basic cubes, which is completely different from the eclectic architectural form and is the earliest such style building in Yantai. At the same time, the ceramic tile surface of the external wall also pioneered the wall treatment of the local new architectural style.

The apartment building in its consulate is designed and built in the same way.

In p>1987, the building was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

British Consulate

The British Consulate was officially opened in 1867. Its site is located on Yantaishan East Road (formerly East Consular Road), covering an area of about 61 acres, and it is composed of consulates and several ancillary buildings. In addition to the local characteristics of Yantai, the early building materials and construction techniques also adopted the "veranda-style" design of Britain in its Asian colonies according to the local landscape characteristics of Yantai Mountain. This design has single-sided gallery, double-sided gallery, inner-wrapped gallery and circular gallery, etc., which is the best orientation for landscape viewing and has the characteristics of ventilation, sunshade and heat insulation. The interior is designed according to European custom, with fireplace and corner decoration. The style is simple and simple. In the later period, most of the buildings are based on the British architectural style. Among them, the larger two-story building with brick and wood structure adopts the style of "coupon gallery".

In p>1987, the museum was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

In p>1992, it was announced by Shandong Provincial People's Government as a provincial cultural relics protection unit.

American Consulate

There are two American Consulate buildings. The building of the museum site is characterized by irregular design, with the wing protruding from the top and connecting the spire attic, which forms a curve echo with the window of the other half dome attic at the top. The edge of the main entrance steps on the first floor is elegant and decent, and it is treated as an outward arc and radial, which has the legacy of European classicism.

The official residence building is a two-story building with brick-wood structure and square platform. The building has a double-sided external corridor in the southeast, with an attic at the top of the four slopes, a spire in the attic, a glass roof in the middle, and short eaves in red tiles; On the second floor below, the indoor room is the * * * enjoyment hall, and the whole indoor wood decoration is mostly curved decoration. The top decorative angle and curved skylight are beautifully designed and located in a moderate position, which has a balanced effect on the whole building. The exterior wall of the building is a clear water wall, with red brick floss tape, milky white windows and veranda guardrail, which is elegant and lively.

This building was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit in 1987.

Norwegian Consulate

After the United States, Norway set up a consulate in Yantai in 1864, becoming the fourth country to open a consulate in Yantai since its opening.

The Norwegian Consulate was completed in 1914. The whole building basically retains the characteristics of European civil buildings in the 6th century, and it is a two-story brick-wood structure with symmetrical layout. The stone high-rise building foundation at the bottom, and the outer wall frame with blue bricks and clear water are treated as patterns, and the geometric figures are combined, which has a certain decorative effect. The roof is steep, and there is an attic, whose spire is convex, just in contrast to the concave of the entrance below. The attic is the exterior decoration of the wooden house frame, made of "cross" flowers and diamonds, and carved on the components around and below the attic spire, which has been well preserved so far. It is also inlaid with colored glass, which is gorgeous and ingenious. The dark red color of the wooden component frame is set off by the white gray wall, which is calm and elegant. This is the only Norwegian building in Yantai so far.

In p>1996, the building was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

Swedish Consulate

In p>1871, Italy set up an agent consulate here, and consulates from Sweden and other countries acted as its consular agents.

The building of Swedish Consulate is a reinforced concrete structure with two floors. The building faces north and south, facing west and east, just across the east coast of Yantai Mountain, facing Chaoyang Street business district and foreign consulate district, and the dining area and living and entertainment area are in the south, which is very advantageous. The building has a four-slope roof with an attic. The concave gate on the first floor is located in the middle, and there are two vertical columns in front of the gate, and there are two semi-circular stone pillars beside the door, which support the semi-circular platform part on the second floor.
