Yantai in the eastern part of Shandong Peninsula is a beautiful coastal city. Although the city is not as big as Qingdao, its opening is earlier than Qingdao. In the Yantaishan Park on the seashore of the city center, there are still many sites of consulates in the country, witnessing all this. Yantai Mountain is a hill with an elevation of only 42.5 meters, just by the sea. In the 31st year of Ming Hongwu (1398), in order to prevent flooding, a wolf-burning pier was built on this mountain, also known as a beacon tower. So the people who built the beacon tower were called "Yantai Mountain", Yantai. The city is named after Yantai Mountain. 1861, according to the "Tianjin Treaty", Yantai was turned into a trading port, becoming one of the earliest cities in northern China and the earliest trading port in Shandong Province. 17 countries including the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Germany, and Japan have established consulates, foreign banks and other offices in and around Yantai Mountain. These small buildings are scattered in the green trees, which is the former site of the consulate. . Yantai Mountain Scenic Area is the largest modern consulate complex in Asia. The buildings are of different architectural styles, with rich atmosphere and well-preserved, which is a treasure house of modern architecture. Some consulates have been converted into museums to showcase the city's modern development. A white lighthouse on the top of the is particularly eye-catching. In July 1905, the British built a lighthouse on the site of the Beacon Tower, which has been in use for more than 80 years.
