Suochengli | Explore ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties

| Explore ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Suochengli was once a military fortress and residential area, and is now a historical and cultural district. Many traditional residential buildings from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China period have been preserved. Some of these buildings have become homestays, some have become shops, and some are places where folk art is passed down. The main attractions in Suochengli are located on two main streets that form a cross, one running north-south and the other east-west. The east-west main street is mainly home to shops, restaurants, homestays, and Trip Moments. The outer walls of the buildings may have special plaques, poems, paintings, etc. Be sure to take a look, you may find a surprise. We recommend climbing the Xuanhua Gate City Wall to enjoy a view of Suochengli from above. The north-south main street has more photo spots, such as a wall covered with flowers, a golden wing, red lanterns and the "Fa" tile from mahjong, a wall covered with house numbers, various hanging lanterns, a wall with the word "Yantai" written on it, and a wall covered with the names of Yantai attractions. In addition to the two main streets, there are many alleys to explore, and you may find something special while wandering around. 📍Location: Zhifu District, Yantai, Shandong Province. There are several entrances, we recommend entering from Xuanhua Gate (West Gate) 💰Tickets: Free ⏰Recommended visit time: About 1-2 hours 🗺️Route: First climb the Xuanhua Gate City Wall to enjoy a view of Suochengli, then head east along the main street. When you reach the intersection of the main streets, visit the north-south main street, and finally return to the intersection and continue east [Tips] 🌟The area is not large, and there are other attractions nearby, such as Chaoyang Street and Yantai Mountain, which you can visit at the same time 🌟We recommend wearing comfortable, non-slip shoes, as the streets are paved with stone slabs and may be uneven 🌟Many shops are closed in the off-season, so it is relatively quiet and there are not many tourists, but it is a good time to take photos 🌟There may be rain or snow in autumn and winter, so we recommend taking measures to keep warm
