The sea in Yantai is full of magical charm, which is fascinating and crazy. Many friends feel the touch of a salty sea breeze blowing your face, giving people a desire and expectation for exploration in the depths of the soul. Let's share the specific experience of Yantai seaside travel.
I chose the Sheraton Hotel in Golden Beach. Not only is there a private beach, but the service is excellent. The price of two nights during holidays is only 12 yuan (including buffet breakfast), which is super cost-effective.

Travel expenses
1. Round trip by train: 199*2*2=796 yuan (the baby is less than 1.2m free)
2. Accommodation (Sheraton big bed room): 6 yuan/night * 2 = 1,2 yuan
3. Car rental (3 days): 2.
In Yantai in June, the temperature is very comfortable, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is a little big. Just wear a short-sleeved T and a long-sleeved shirt or sun-protective clothing.
It is recommended to check the weather forecast before we leave, just in case, we also brought raincoats and rain boots.
It's a long way from Yantai South Station to Sheraton Hotel. It takes about an hour to drive and 1+ to take a taxi one way, so we booked a car in CAR Inc. in advance and picked it up in the parking lot opposite Yantai South Station. It takes less than 5
minutes to walk, so it's easy to find.
the old mother ordered a takeaway on the road, and when it was delivered to the hotel lobby, we arrived.
The room is spacious and bright, and Sheraton is normal.
Eva sleeps with us in the big bed. In order to prevent children from falling off the bed, we want to ask the hotel for a baffle, but unfortunately the baffle has been issued that day. Parents with the same needs are advised to indicate when booking.
The room is a sea view room. You can see the sea by opening the curtains.
Just after dinner, Eva can't wait to dig sand at the seaside.
I'm sure I won't be able to sleep in the afternoon. Let's go! We put on thick sunscreen, took the baby's sand digging tools and went straight to the beach.
Yantai Golden Beach
The private beach provided by the hotel is super convenient for children to play with sand.
Unlike resort hotels in Hainan, there are no loungers and umbrellas on the beach, and the supporting facilities are still at a relatively primary level.
It is suggested that you bring a waterproof picnic mat, which can be bought at Almighty in advance.
the room is 3 minutes away from the beach.
Probably because it was afternoon, there were not many people on the beach. Together with us, there were three families playing. It's sunny by the sea, but the sea breeze is blowing, it's not hot at all, and it's very comfortable.
The sand is very fine and clean. As soon as Wa arrived at the beach, he started his sand digging career.
In the afternoon, the seawater temperature is just right, so you can go swimming in the sea.
Eva is making "seafood soup" and giving it to us.
Eva dug tirelessly until after four o'clock, and the tide began to ebb, and there were more and more people. There were small crabs everywhere on the beach.
Seeing a child catching a big crab nearby, the old father also caught a handful of small crabs. The baby didn't dare to touch it, and finally all of them were released.
The baby hasn't been tired of digging until the sun is about to set. Well, keep playing.
the sunset in the evening is beautiful, and the sea breeze is very comfortable. Baby is happy, and his father and I enjoy it. This is the imaginary holiday.
Aeon Dream Music City
After coming back from the beach, we drove to Aeon Dream Music City near the hotel for dinner, which took about 1 minutes.
It happens that there is an exhibition of Altman's theme in the mall. When Eva saw Altman, she was so surprised that she took all kinds of photos.
It's convenient to eat and shop in the mall, and there are many choices. We chose a new Korean restaurant, and the service of Miss Sister in the store is excellent.
after eating, go to the supermarket to buy some food supplies for the baby. There are many Korean goods that have never been seen in the supermarket.
There is a free children's play area on the third floor of the mall, which is suitable for children aged 1-3. There is also a dedicated children's bathroom, which is very intimate.
Punch in: Yangma Island, Yantai Mountain and East Battery Park
The buffet time of the hotel is until 1:3 in the morning, and there will be more people on holidays. If you go late, you may need to queue up.
pancake fruit and freshly cooked noodles are all delicious.
The surprise is that there is no limit to ice cream. As the first dessert lover in the family, Eva is very satisfied.
Yangma Island
After breakfast, we drove to Yangma Island, the first scenic spot of this trip, which took about an hour by car.
Yangma Island is a free scenic spot. online celebrity Island in Yantai, known as China's Maldives, is visited by many young ladies in Tik Tok.
sure enough, the sea is crystal clear and amazing!
Unlike Golden Beach, the seaside of Yangma Island is full of beautiful stones. But be careful to stick your feet. It is recommended to wear sports shoes.
Eva and her old father played a game of throwing water away for a long time.
There are many small creatures on the island, which are perfect for children to explore.
If you remove the big stone, you will surely find the small crab hidden below.
It is said that starfish can be found at low tide, and all kinds of razor clam can be dug. Interested parents can learn about the time of low tide.
Yantai Mountain
We spent a leisurely morning in Yangma Island, and in the afternoon we went to Yantai Mountain.
It's almost an hour's drive from Yangma Island to Yantai Mountain. They are all highways around the sea, and the scenery is beautiful. My old father is super happy to drive.
Yantai Mountain is located in Zhifu District of Yantai, and the scenic spots are free.
Although it's called a mountain, it's only 42.5 meters above sea level, so it's not a problem for children over 2 years old to climb it, and it's easy for younger babies to hold it.
You will pass several interesting museums, exhibition halls or former sites. There are Beijing Opera Art Museum, Bingxin Memorial Hall, Jiaodong Revolutionary History Exhibition Hall, Longwang Temple, beacon tower site and English garden, which are very mixed styles.
There is a lighthouse on the top of the mountain, which is said to be the landmark building of Yantai.
You can go up this lighthouse by elevator. Adults charge 5 yuan once, but children don't need money. The view from above is good and the sea breeze is strong.
Eva was most interested in several exhibition halls on the first floor of the lighthouse, and exhibited some photos of maritime rescue and maritime safety and defense. We played in the lighthouse for a long time, visited every exhibition hall and learned a lot.
There are many beautiful old western buildings in the scenic area. Walking along the winding path, you feel vaguely in Gulangyu.
We found very big ants on the mountain, several times larger than what we usually see downstairs in the community. The children observed them very carefully.
When climbing the mountain, Eva took a fancy to a toy snake sold in a stall. The style of painting in the back became like this, which successfully scared several passing young ladies.
East Battery Park
East Battery Park, which is very close to Yantai Mountain, is also a free scenic spot with a good view from the battery.
A hundred years ago, it was a rare coastal defense center. Emperor Guangxu built a battery here, and asked German technicians to supervise and install the Krupp cannon with the most advanced technology at that time.
when she saw the legendary cannon, Eva felt very powerful.
there is also a seal museum in the scenic spot, which is charged separately. Interested parents can take the baby to have a look.
The fishing village in Mong Kok
We were all hungry after playing all day. There are too many delicious foods in Yantai, but the best ones are all kinds of seafood. Any street restaurant is good.
We chose the famous fishing village of Mong Kok in Yantai, and the seafood was really delicious. The taste is light and not spicy, and the baby has a good time.
I ordered seven dishes, only in my early 3 s.
In addition, the pasta in Yantai is excellent, and noodle fish and fried dumplings are recommended. There are all kinds of stuffed jiaozi, such as sea urchin, sea sausage, and the famous Spanish mackerel jiaozi, which is not very popular here?
Punch in: Bonus Seafood Market and Lighthouse Cafe
got up early and took the baby for a walk on the beach.
Eva wanted to dig sand, and we played on the beach for a while. The beach is full of children from hotels, so cherish the last time of playing by the sea.
a castle was built today.
Bonus Seafood Market
After checking out at noon, we drove to the very famous Bonus Seafood Market. One of the important tasks of this trip is to buy seafood and cherries!
It was near noon when we arrived, and the seafood was almost closed. If you want to pick fresher seafood, I suggest you come early. It is said that the seafood returned by fishing boats early in the morning is full of everything and alive and kicking.
The price is not expensive either. We bought ten abalones, two boxes of minced Spanish mackerel and a bag of oyster, which cost a little more than 2 yuan.
The cherry season is from the end of May to the beginning of June. Yantai is a local producer of all kinds of cherries. This trip recommended a small yellow cherry called topaz (it is divided into head sizes, 14-2 yuan a catty, so if you eat it yourself, the small one will taste good, and the big one can be sent to your friends). It looks ugly, but the sour and sweet taste is super good. We ate it at one go on the return train.
Yantai people have easily realized the freedom of cherries and seafood, which is so happy.
Lighthouse Coffee Shop
In the afternoon, there is still a little time before the train leaves. My old father and Eva accompanied my old mother to play a online celebrity coffee shop-Youdu Coffee (Laishan Lighthouse Store). A coffee shop opened on the lighthouse by the sea.
the storefront is small, and the sea view is very good. The whole store feels more suitable for dating and staring blankly, but if you bring an energetic little boy, sand and beach may be more suitable for him.
The whole trip was more convenient to eat and live, and there was not much trouble on the road, so the children were super cooperative and super happy as a whole.
We originally wanted to go to Haichang Whale Shark Ocean Park, Long Island and Penglai Pavilion, but three days is too short. It would be perfect to play for five or six days. I can only leave these beautiful regrets, and come back to punch in next time.
