Introduction of Yantai Penglai Long Island Two-day Tour
The trip to Yantai originated from the ninth 100-person 100-day running group graduation run. We made a short trip across the Bohai Strait with Sister Fang, the monitor of Class Five.
As coastal cities, Dalian and Yantai are two major ports with relatively prosperous passenger traffic between Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula, and the other is the sea route between Penglai and Lushun. Before the completion of the cross-harbour tunnel, this kind of round trip became the most economical and time-saving choice for office workers.
Fang Jie and I consulted the passenger ship transportation time by telephone and WeChat booking respectively. Since the last trip to Penglai, Yantai was five years ago, this time I also specially consulted WeChat customer service about the best connection time of the boat ride and subway ferry. What makes me feel deeply is that the quality and service quality of service industry employees have been greatly improved compared with the past. After buying the tickets, we exchange them at the ticket office of Dalian Railway Station, and then take the bus at the pick-up station until the passenger ship stops at the boarding gate. Next time, you should choose the ferry service of Bohai Pearl and Yuzhu.
We chose four rooms, all on the upper bunk. In the direction of the bow, we can see the sea and seagulls outside in the cabin. I want to be awakened by the first sunshine at sunrise on the sea the next morning. The family who came in later asked us to change to another room so that the four of them could be in the same room.
Adult beauty is convenient. After changing to another room, I found it was on the other side of the boat, next to the toilet. This smells terrible. If there is a similar request for changing berths next time, please confirm the environment before making a decision. After all, the prices of these bunks will also be affected by the environment, and the quotations are different. Whether you live comfortably or not will directly affect the quality and state of travel.
Day got up very late the next morning and stayed up almost all night. The uncle in the room snores loudly. He left home early and hardly slept for a while. Two hours later, he began to get off the boat and looked out of the small window in a hurry. Well, the sun is already high in the sky, and he missed a gorgeous sunrise at sea.
I ate the local Shandong bean curd and fried dough sticks outside the pier, feeling that no matter whether the food in Dalian is authentic or not, delicious food is king.
Take a taxi to nanshan park. The driver is a typical Shandong man, warm-hearted and speaks in one go. As a Liangshan hero, he is a little high-spirited. Maybe every driver has the potential to be a tour guide. It's a pity that you don't need a chartered car to travel in a city with convenient transportation, otherwise you really want to save some experience and let the master show us around.
In early summer, all the Ziwei flowers in nanshan park are in full bloom, red, purple and white, as soft as a cloud. I used to learn watercolor painting of purple flowers from Mr. White. At that time, I didn't understand why the petals were polluted by water, and I couldn't imagine the feeling of being as light as clouds. I only know that the color should be from the inside out, from thick to light. When you can't use your imagination, sketch is the best way to describe things as they really are. Perhaps the local climate is hotter than Dalian, and the bamboo forest grows luxuriantly, as if walking through the tropical rain forest, but it is not so sultry.
The small zoo in nanshan park is really decorated. A few thin Siberian tigers, brown bears, little monkeys and walruses basically constitute the overall impression of the zoo. Only one Malai, known as Malaysia's national treasure, is fat. It should be a collection of thousands of pets in the zoo. It is estimated that pandas provided by China to foreign zoos receive the highest treatment in terms of accommodation and diet.
I left nanshan park and came to Penglai Spring, an old shop famous for its Shandong cuisine. As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the antique decoration style and the "It's a pleasure to have friends from afar" hanging at the door, which conforms to my symmetrical appreciation standard for shops that are actually old shops. Two people ordered a lot of dishes recommended in the raiders. Family photos, nine turns of large intestine, sea cucumber with green onions, octopus with peach, sesame shortcake, three fresh pot stickers and four-hi shrimp dumplings are all the best, salty and delicious, in line with local characteristics.
In the afternoon, I met other friends, and then I took a bus to Mayang Island to attend a bonfire party. Hundreds of talents from all over the country gathered here to celebrate the graduation run, and I also met several friends who have participated in Dalian Marathon for a long time. Many big coffees perform on stage, and people who love running are also wonderful in other industries. Witnessed the marriage proposal ceremony of a couple who were running and having sex. Romance under the starlight makes me feel that people with similar interests will be super happy in the future.
Day started the graduation run the next morning, and the route was running around the island 10km or the whole horse. I couldn't get up in the morning because I didn't have time to see the whole island on the first day. Then I bypassed the running route and rode alone on the island. Reef, cliff and cave are unique landscapes in Luobitan Scenic Area of Mayang Island, which are rare landscapes formed by crustal changes and wave erosion impacts hundreds of millions of years ago. Near noon, we drove out of the island and saw the statue of Qin Shihuang along the way. According to legend, Mayang Island was named after raising horses here during Qin Shihuang's east tour, and it was known as "Oriental Hawaii" because of its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.
I went directly to Yantai Mountain in the afternoon. As it was raining lightly, the shuttle bus master took care of me, a foreigner, and made a special trip. He took me to the nearest bus stop in Yantai and let me walk across the street for a while. The streets are lined with avant-garde bars and restaurants. When you stop to come and go, you will find this Chaoyang Street, which is one of the top ten old streets in Yantai. There is an ideal bookstore selling Li Jian's albums. Enjoy it for a while, buy a set of postcards with Yantai impression, store your backpack in the store and go up the mountain lightly.
Yantai government's Huimin project has been implemented. 7. After1,I proudly visited Yantai Mountain for free. However, due to the humid weather and occasional rain, all the places were closed except the observation deck, Longwang Temple and Martyrs Temple for worship. Scanning the QR code posted at the entrance of the museum also shows that the parameters are wrong. Take a photo with grandma Bing Xin's sculpture, visit the former sites of embassies and consulates in various countries, and walk along the seaside to Tongxin Bridge and Qin Shihuang Shooting Platform. I think the history here is very rich. Compared with Dalian across the sea, there is too much history to understand and explore. Only when I get on the observation deck can I really appreciate the artistic conception of "dark clouds over the city" under low pressure. I looked at the open sea where the land protrudes into the sea. The city is fan-shaped and extends not far away, and the buildings are scattered and arranged in rows. I met a 97-year-old girl at the inn. She knows this street very well, from midnight grocery store to ideal bookstore to IF bar. After saying good night to each other, I am going to save my strength for climbing Penglai Pavilion tomorrow.
4. Say goodbye to the beautiful bar in Sunlight Chaoyang Street and take a long-lost trip to Penglai. Penglai was a fairy mountain where emperors sought immortality in Qin and Han Dynasties. The legend of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" has been circulating for a long time. Later, it was renamed Penglai, and together with Yingzhou and the abbot, it was given the reputation of "Three Saints on the Sea".
Penglai Pavilion is the main scenic spot, including the coordinates of Qi Jiguang's hometown, Dengzhou Museum, Ancient Ship Museum, Tianheng Mountain and the boundary between the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. Beautiful natural scenery, cultural relics with allusions, climbing in the rain, in addition to considering the weight of the backpack, but also to compete with the wind and rain. The umbrella can't stop it.
People who are familiar with Qi Jiguang will never forget his words, "It is not my wish to seal Hou, but I wish Hai Boping." Going to my hometown in Qi Jiguang in this weather today will inevitably lead to some sadness in the spring and autumn. The ancient forts, city walls and rusty shells in the misty rain all tell the history of people fighting bloody battles and defending the territory a hundred years ago. How magnificent!
Travel in Yantai, visit Penglai Wonderland, and then go to Qufu Sankong, Taishan, Baotu Spring in Jinan, Daming Lake and Weifang.
