Walking through it feels like being in a fairytale town. The sea, European-style buildings, grass, and white corridors... each scene is truly captivating. 💓

4️⃣Pink Muhly Grass (Autumn Exclusive)
Originally a lawn, it becomes covered with pink muhly grass in autumn, with the best viewing time around the National Day holiday. The white path winds through it, and women can wear white long dresses for photos, creating instant picture-perfect moments.
5️⃣Spirited Away Railway
A popular spot at Fisherman's Wharf, the railway was originally used to haul fishing boats ashore. You might feel disappointed when you see it because only during high tide, when the sea water covers the railway, does it resemble the scenes in the animation. The ground is covered with moss and is slippery, so please be careful.
6️⃣Seaside Wooden Walkway
After passing the railway into the sea, you will reach a wooden walkway leading up the mountain. There are several viewing platforms along the steps, surrounded by the sea on three sides. Enjoy the sea breeze and feel comfortable. At night, the long walkway is lit up, creating a more dreamy atmosphere.
7️⃣Window of Yantai
Not far along the seaside path from the mountaintop frame, you will see a huge frame. Through the frame, you can enjoy the view of the white sails of Haiyun Square, the red roof of Dongshan Hotel, and the World Trade Center in Zhifu District.
8️⃣Rocky Beach
You can take stunning photos of the rocky sea view. There are usually anglers visiting, so please be careful of slipping! The rocks are covered with oyster shells, which can cause painful cuts.
