    I've been here many times over the years and it feels very homely. The marine animals are lively and adorable, and there are many varieties of fish. The attraction is clean and hygienic, with no odors. It was crowded during the National Day holiday, but the dolphin and sea lion show was still as beautiful as ever! I'll be back next time!

    My family had a good time at the aquarium. Whilst it isn’t too large there is enough to see and do to keep you occupied for a couple of hours. The location is good as it is beside a decent swimming beach and there are rentable e-bikes too near by. I particularly found the whale shark impressive. The kids fed the sea turtles and we paid a little extra for the laser show which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed. There also was a seal show which the kids enjoyed too. Overall I thought it was good value. My expectation was low so it was easy to be satisfied.

    This trip exceeded my expectations! The itinerary was well-organized, covering all the key attractions without any forced shopping. I especially want to praise our tour guide, Wang Dao, for his extensive knowledge, humorous explanations, and exceptional care throughout the trip, patiently answering all our questions. Accommodation and transportation were also well-arranged, making it a worry-free and enjoyable trip. Five-star recommendation!

    If you go to Yantai to play on the beach, the Golden Beach Seaside Park feels quite good and is worth a visit. In addition to the sea and the beach, there are many good landmarks to check in, such as the Lonely Whale, Sky Date, Time Tower, etc. However, the weather is too hot during the summer vacation and there are not many people on the beach. It is more suitable for indoor activities. You can go up to the Time Tower and overlook the beach.

    The scenery of Dahei Island is beautiful, but the service is only average. The shuttle bus ticket costs 50 yuan per person, and it only runs between Longzhua Mountain, Tuowei Beach and the pier. It does not go to other points. When asked, we were asked to walk there by ourselves. It is recommended that you only buy tickets. After getting off the boat, there are local drivers at the pier who can charter a car.

    The Mou Family Manor is the largest and best-preserved feudal landlord manor in northern China, hailed as a "folk palace" and a "living fossil of a century-old manor." It is renowned for its "three carvings," "six oddities," and "nine wonders," particularly its colorful tiger-skin walls and unique designs such as "chimneys standing outside the gable walls," showcasing exquisite architectural craftsmanship. 🌾 The Mou Family Manor is more like an open-air architectural museum and a living folk painting. If you have a strong interest in ancient northern architecture, feudal family history, or Jiaodong folk culture, this place will definitely satisfy you.

    The colorful stones on the park beach are crystal clear like pearls, as if they were carefully set in the earth. Walking barefoot on the beach, feeling the wonderful touch of delicate sand and the soles of your feet, listening to the sweet sound of the waves gently beating the shore reef.

    Although the equipment in Linshan is relatively old, the venue is really large, and the water and grilled sausages are both at a conscience price! The snow in Linshan is relatively fine, which is easier for novices to get started, easy to turn and will not slip. We went there on the 12th, and opened 1 advanced, 1 intermediate, 2 beginners and 1 practice track. There were not many people, and the experience was very good. The coach charged 280 yuan for 1 hour one-on-one. Because it is located in a remote area, you must make an appointment in advance or drive there on the return trip. Don't be like us. If you don't make an appointment in advance, you can only walk to the provincial road to stop the car, which is completely a matter of luck! If you are also returning to Yantai, you must navigate to "Lao Fushan" to eat mutton hot pot, you will be amazed! The meat and prawns there are not to be missed!
