Yantai is a clean, beautiful and livable city with a good combination of mountains and sea. The port city is becoming more and more modern everyday, in the wave of reform and increasing openness in China.
According to ‘Shiji’ by Sima Qian, a master of Chinese literature, in the midst of the west sea were three spirit mountains named Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. These mountains featured a dwelling place for immortals, a pavilion made of gold, and herbs of everlasting life. Qin Shi Huang and the Hanmu-ji came to this place and tried to find the herbs.
Changdao is also host to a military base which opened to visits from non-Chinese in 2009. It is located on the demarcation line between the Yellow Sea and Balhae. It includes the “Changshan Islands,” which consist of 32 large and small islands. Together, they appear as if a line of splendid pearls were scattered over the West and Bohai Seas. According to the story, Qin Shi Huang looked north towards the sea from the summit, and discovered islands that were “disappearing and reappearing” in the midst of long and thin cloudy mists. A priest who was next to him called these “seonsan (on a ship)” and thus Changdao earned the nickname “haesang seonsang (island on a ship on the sea).” Sea coral and high tide animal communities create unique ecological landscapes. All in all, it is a good place to travel with your family to feel the authentic lifestyle of Chinese fishermen.
