Changdao is a small island located at the intersection of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. It has a population of only 43,000. It is the only island county in Shandong Province and belongs to Yantai City.
The county is composed of 32 islands, with a land area of ??56 square kilometers and a sea area of ??8,700 square kilometers. It is known as the "Fairy Mountain on the Sea" and "Natural Oxygen Bar".
From April to July, the island becomes a paradise for seagulls, and you can touch the wings of birds wherever the ship passes. There are tens of millions of seagulls living on the nearby Wanniao Island. The small island of only 0.05 square kilometers is like a kingdom of seagulls.
Jiuzhang Cliff and Crescent Bay are the earliest developed areas on the island. The former is named for its high and precipitous cliffs. The cliffs on the seaside are upright and particularly spectacular, unique among domestic seaside landscapes. The latter is famous for its shape like a huge crescent moon. The stones here are as white as jade, Crystal clear, every stone is addictive.
Other Temple Island, Wangfu Reef, and Linhai Park are also worth a visit.
Changdao’s main land attractions are located in Nanshan Changdao and Beishan Changdao, including Jiuzhang Cliff, Crescent Bay, Linhai, Wangfu Reef, Yellow and Bohai Sea Intersection and many other landscapes. Visitors can divide the northern route , southern line or full line tour.
Due to the inconvenient public transportation on the island, it is recommended to charter a car (please refer to the transportation section for prices) to go to various scenic spots, which is more convenient and faster.
In addition, tourists can also take a boat trip to explore the islands. The sea tour is worth recommending. Visitors can see the scene of thousands of birds flying together. If you are lucky, you can also see wild harbor seals. Jiuzhangya

No. 1 Yard is a resort B&B located in Nancheng Village, Changdao. It is surrounded by villages. You can see what the locals really live like.
But don't think that this place is very backward. There is a private car park opposite the B&B.
When you walk into the courtyard, you will see the quaint stone courtyard and walls. A dilapidated boat represents that the residents here are fishermen who "work at sunrise and rest at sunset".
No. 1 Courtyard can provide accommodation in various room types. The suites with Kang are particularly recommended and can accommodate 4-6 people.
In addition to accommodation, there is also an entertainment space integrating literary and artistic cafes, bars and billiards rooms.
If you are not satisfied with visiting the main island of Changdao, it is recommended to island-hop to the surrounding hidden islands to stay for a few days. There are many primitive and undeveloped islands, and of course the conditions cannot be compared with tourist areas.
Tuoji Island is about 2 hours by boat from Changdao. Time at sea determines that Tuoji Island is not something you can come to or leave if you want. It is impossible to enter or leave the island in extremely bad weather such as heavy fog, strong winds, heavy rain, or snowstorms.
The folk customs on the island are simple, and the residents make a living by fishing and cultivating seafood. There are no commercial attractions, and the wind carries a slightly fishy smell of life from the sea.
Needless to say fresh seafood. Living by the sea, you can hear the sound of fishermen’s boats returning from fishing, and you can buy all kinds of seafood freshly fished out of the sea at the pier.
What I like most is the tranquility at night on the island. In addition to the sound of the waves, you can also hear your own heartbeat. After staying in the noisy environment for a long time, it feels like a hidden paradise.
The above is the travel guide to Changdao, Shandong compiled by the editor. The sea water is clear and beautiful, and the breeze is cool and comfortable. It is most suitable for everyone to travel here during this summer vacation!
