Family! Who knows! Summer vacations in Weihai were packed with people, the beach was a mess, and the backgrounds for my photos were filled with strangers. 🤦♀️ But I recently discovered a magical coastal city—Yantai Penglai! Not only is it accessible by high-speed rail, the water is as blue as a gem, the beach is as soft as cotton candy, and most importantly, it's uncrowded and quiet, perfect for taking the kids, vacationing, and snapping photos—this is the perfect way to enjoy the summer ocean! 🚄 Transportation: Who knows the joy of spontaneous travel? - Direct high-speed rail: From Beijing, it takes 4 hours, Shanghai, or Jinan to reach Penglai Station. From there, it's a 15-minute taxi ride to the beach. It's incredibly easy to get to! 💯 No more dragging your suitcase through transfers! - Local Transportation: Renting an electric scooter for a coastal ride is a blast! 🌬️ It's only 20 yuan for a day, allowing you to cruise along the coastline, enjoying the sea breeze and stopping to take photos whenever you see something beautiful. It's more flexible than driving, less strenuous than walking, and you can even let your kids ride right up front. - Hidden Bonus: Unlimited rides on the Penglai City sightseeing bus are just 10 yuan, covering all the attractions. You can always hop on and rest when you're tired. It's a lifesaver for a mother! 🏖️ Must-See Attractions: Few people, beautiful scenery, and free! 1. Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area (5A, but not crowded)🏯 Don't be intimidated by the "5A" designation! It's so much quieter here than I imagined. From the pavilion, you can see the dividing line between the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The water is half blue and half green, like God's overturned palette! - Family Bonus: Inside the scenic area, there's a "Navy House" where you can wear ancient soldier uniforms for photos for 20 yuan. Your child instantly transforms into a "little general" and the photos will be flooded with likes on WeChat Moments! - Pitfall Tip: Don't buy the "all-inclusive" ticket at the entrance! Penglai Pavilion tickets alone are sufficient; the other combined tickets are pretty worthless. Booking a day in advance on Ctrip can save you 10 yuan! 2. Changdao: Enjoy the joy of an entire island! Changdao is a 40-minute boat ride from Penglai Port. This is truly the pinnacle of "less crowds and more beautiful scenery"! - Crescent Bay: The beach is lined with round pebbles that crunch under bare feet. Kids can spend an entire afternoon picking up rocks. The water is so clear you can see tiny fish swimming right at your feet. - Jiuzhang Cliff: The sea beneath the cliffs is incredibly blue. At 3 pm, when the sun shines down, the rock face turns golden. The built-in filter makes any photo look like you're "pretending to be abroad." - Budget Tip: Stay at a Changdao B&B with all meals included! For 150 yuan per person, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat seafood feast. The scallops, sea urchins, and mantis shrimp are all caught that very day and are so fresh and sweet you'll stomp your feet. 3. Yangma Island: Pretend to be in the Maldives 🇲🇻 Despite the rustic name, the scenery is stunning! The water is layered with azure blue, the sand is smooth and doesn't prick your feet. And best of all, it's free! - Must-do: Rent a family bike and cycle around the island. The sea breeze is soothing. Be sure to stop by "Houhai" (Back Sea), where the rocky beaches are perfect for catching crabs and shells. The kids will have so much fun that you won't want to leave! - Photo Spot: The "Island Diary" check-in spot on the cliffside lawn offers stunning views of the ocean and windmills. At dusk, take in the silhouettes against the light for a truly breathtaking atmosphere. ✨ 4. Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area: A baby-friendly attraction 🎈 Although it's an artificial scenic area, it's super friendly for young children! The park features large lawns and water features, where you can feed seagulls and koi. In the afternoon, there's a free Eight Immortals parade. The performers will interact and shake hands with the kids, and the kids will have a blast chasing them. 🍤 Food: 50 yuan per person, eat until you're leaning against the wall! - Seafood food stalls: Go to the Mazhikou Seafood Market to buy your own seafood. The nearby restaurant only charges 10 yuan per portion for processing. Live prawns are 25 yuan per jin (approximately 100g) and oysters are 10 yuan per plate. Enjoy seafood indulgence with ease! - Must-try snack: Penglai noodles are a must! 5 yuan a bowl, with fine noodles and a delicious broth, paired with a local sea urchin stew that's so delicious it'll make your eyebrows drop. They also have Spanish mackerel dumplings, so juicy they burst when you bite into them. My kids could eat 10 of them in one sitting. - Warning: Avoid the "Internet-famous seafood restaurants" near the scenic area; they're overpriced and lack fresh food. Stay in the local restaurants that are always busy and you'll never go wrong! 🛏 Accommodation: Affordable Choices - Family Choice: Penglai Ocean Castle Knight Resort Hotel. Its castle-themed rooms feature a children's slide and are a 10-minute walk from the beach. The hotel also includes two free amusement park tickets—a delight for families with kids! 🎉 - Value: City-area chain hotels (such as Hanting and Home Inn) offer comfortable accommodation for just 150 yuan/night. Downstairs is a snack street, making dining and shopping convenient. Book in advance on Ctrip for a family-friendly room. - Unique Experience: Changdao's Fishing House, 60 yuan/person including all meals. Sleep to the sound of the waves and be woken by seagulls in the morning—perfect for families who enjoy a slower pace of life. 📝 Useful Tips 1. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The UV rays at the beach are incredibly strong, so make sure your child wears long-sleeved sun-protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat, otherwise they'll be tanned to a crisp in a day! 2. Prepare your beach-hunting tools in advance: a small shovel, a bucket, and a salt shaker (sprinkling salt will force clams out). Buying them locally is twice as expensive, but I can get a set online for just 20 yuan. 3. Best time to visit: Avoid weekends!
