This beautiful park is located next to the Nanshan Cultural Center in Longkou, Yantai, Shandong provinc, China. After visiting the Nanshan Tourism Area, we were heading towards the Nanshan south road to find a place where we can eat and the go to the train station. So we found this dazzlingly beautiful park with a lake. My friends were too busy talking about all the things we saw at the Nanshan Tourism Area, and I was very tired after all the 360 steps up to the Buddha statue and the back. that’s why I was just walking and enjoying the beautiful nature around us when I noticed the lake and how indescribably beautiful nature is reflected on the surface of the lake.

Nanshan, Longkou, Yantai: The Nanshan Grand Buddha Answers Sincere Prayers Address: Nanshan Tourist Scenic Area, Nanshan Road, Nanshan Industrial Park, Longkou, Yantai, Shandong, China :Driving is recommended as it's a bit far. The navigation even took us through some nearby villages. :National 5A Scenic Area - Tickets: CNY 115/person, Evening Ticket: CNY 40/person, Special Offer Ticket: CNY 49.9/person (available on specific dates) The parking area is huge, with staff charging CNY 10 per entry, with no time limit. There's a shuttle bus inside the scenic area for CNY 25/person. Personally, I don't think it's necessary as you have to climb the stairs to see the Grand Buddha anyway. Walking is good exercise. However, if you're with children or seniors, you can choose to take the shuttle bus. It stops at every attraction, which is quite convenient. Nanshan, known as the "First Buddhist Mountain of Shandong," is located in Longkou, Shandong Province.

Sang Island sea cucumbers are authentic spiny sea cucumbers, a national geographic indication product and a premium sea cucumber. They are harvested when the locust trees bloom (around the end of May) and are in high demand. There are about 2,000 acres of locust trees on the island, which must be a spectacular sight when they bloom. There are not many good hotels on Sang Island. We chose to stay at the Moon Bay Seaview Hotel, which is not far from Gangluan Pier. It is beautiful to take a walk by the sea in the morning.
