Yantai Snow Scenery

- Snowy: Yantai is known as a "snow nest," with an average of 40 days of snowfall per year. December is the month with the most snowfall. - Cold but not extreme: Winter is cold, but due to the ocean's moderating effect, the cold is less severe than in inland areas at the same latitude. Temperatures are generally between 0°C and 10°C. - Humid air: The proximity to the ocean means the air is humid, and the sea breeze often carries moist air, making the cold feel damp. Natural Scenery - Snow-covered: After heavy snow, the city, countryside, mountains, and coastline are covered in white snow, creating a fairy-tale world. - Spectacular sea ice and waves: Low temperatures cause seawater to freeze into various shapes of sea ice along the shore, which intertwines with the surging waves crashing against the coast, forming a unique landscape. - Flocks of seagulls: Many seagulls fly from Siberia and other places to spend the winter. They rest, forage, and play by the sea, adding vitality to Yantai in winter. Cultural Life - Catching seafood: Winter is a good time for "catching seafood" in Yantai. People can dig for clams, jade snails, and razor clams by the sea, and may even find sea cucumbers and abalone. - Fishing by the sea: The coastal road and Yantai Mountain are great places for fishing, where you can catch yellow croaker, blackfish, and flatfish in winter. - Culinary delights: Winter seafood is delicious, and people can enjoy fresh swimming crabs and other seafood. In addition, mackerel dumplings and other specialties bring warmth to the cold winter.
