Who can give me some travel tips on Changdao?
It’s very good. I went there in 2009.
Penglai Changdao Travel Guide
Penglai is known as the "Wonderland on Earth". Its legend of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and the wonders of "Mirage" are famous at home and abroad. Penglai Pavilion, together with Huang The Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower and Tengwang Pavilion are collectively known as the four famous towers in ancient China. They were built in the sixth year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1061) and have a history of nearly a thousand years. Changdao is the only island county in Shandong. It is known as the "Fairy Mountain on the Sea". It is the hometown of abalone, kelp and scallops in China, with beautiful scenery.
Based on the various beautiful legends about the two places and the yearning for seafood, my brother has been there once. Recently, many friends around me want to go to Wonderland. I asked my brother about the information about the two places and looked online. Some friends also posted travel notes about Penglai. Here, I will record my experience in the hope of providing some help to those who are interested in getting involved in the immortal spirit.
Transportation
To go to Changdao, you must take a boat from Penglai to the island. The transportation to Penglai is only by car. If it is a train or plane, you need to reverse from Yantai. Yantai Railway Station is not far from the long-distance bus station, just a ten-minute walk, and a taxi only costs the starting price. When my brother and I went there, the starting price was 7 yuan. I don’t know how much it is now. As for the location of the airport, since my brother went there by train last time, he doesn’t know much about the location from the airport to the bus station, so it shouldn’t be very far. According to the taxi driver asked at the time, it only took 20 minutes to take a taxi from the train station to the airport.
There is a special tourist bus from Yantai Long-distance Bus Station to Penglai. The bus departs regularly. The fare is 16 yuan. The distance is 70 kilometers and it takes 1 hour to arrive at Penglai Long-distance Bus Station.
The distance from Penglai Long-distance Bus Station to Penglai Pier is also very close (Penglai City is not very big). You can get there in 4 or 5 minutes by taxi. The starting price is only 7 yuan. From Penglai to Changdao The boat leaves every 30 minutes and the fare is 23 yuan.
Since you have to cross the sea to reach Changdao, it is greatly affected by weather factors. If the wind reaches level 7 or so, the ship will stop sailing. If you go to Changdao, you must pay attention to the good weather. Be sure not to get stranded on the island due to wind and cause trouble after entering.
If you return to Yantai, the last tourist bus from Penglai to Yantai is 6:00.
Attractions
The most popular attractions in Penglai are Penglai Pavilion. With a combined ticket of 70 yuan, you can visit 9 attractions in one day. Penglai Pavilion is only 800 meters away from Penglai Long-distance Bus Station and can be reached on foot in 10 minutes. If you go to Zhenyang Gate (an attraction of Penglai Pavilion, you can also buy Penglai Pavilion tickets there and start visiting from there), it is only You need to cross the road and walk 50 meters west. The distance is quite close.
I think you can visit Jiuzhang Cliff, Crescent Bay and Linhai Scenic Area in Changdao. However, the classic distances in Changdao are relatively scattered. I suggest you take a taxi there, negotiate the price with the driver, and deliver it to the scenic area. You can move around freely, send them messages after the visit, and then send you to other scenic spots. The chartered car price is around 50 yuan, so you can negotiate. Tickets are also available in combination tickets, including 90, 60, etc., and the number of attractions visited varies. You can make your own arrangements at that time.
Notes
There are many solicitors and tourist agencies in Penglai. Penglai Pavilion is very close to the station and you can walk there. Don’t be deceived by the taxi drivers near the station. They will In the name of sending you to Penglai Pavilion for free, I will send you to a place that is not Penglai Pavilion.
The scenic spots in Changdao are all seaside scenic spots. The terrain of Xiangjiuzhang Cliff is relatively dangerous, so you must pay attention to safety. But the scenery is still very good.
Food
The food in Penglai and Changdao is quite cheap, and the seafood is also very fresh. When eating in Penglai, you can go to restaurants in the city, which is economical and affordable. In Changdao, in addition to restaurants, you can also eat at fishermen's houses. Many seafood are freshly caught from boats and are quite authentic. My brother had never seen many of them when he went there, but they were very delicious. The cost is only about 40 or 50 per person.
Accommodation
It takes about two days to visit Penglai and Changdao, and it is very convenient to stay in both places. There are no very high-end hotels in Penglai, 100-200 is enough. There are relatively few hotels in Changdao, but Yujiale is still very convenient and only costs about 40 or 50 yuan a night. There are recommended fishing resorts near the pier, but you must check out more of them, mainly to check the sanitary conditions.
