Yantai is often referred to as the shining pearl on the eastern Shandong peninsula due to the blue seas, clear skies, sunshine, golden beaches, stunning off-shore islands and fresh seafood and wine in the area.

Surrounded by mountains and the sea, the city is blessed with a picturesque landscape and four distinct seasons. It is a vibrant and beautiful coastal city, which makes it a great place to live.

Yantai is famous for the crystal clear blue skies with fluffy white clouds as well as aquamarine waters and rosy sunsets, which are better than most postcards. [Photo/iqilu.com]
