Changdao Travel Guide

A Nanny-Level Guide to Yantai Changdao for 2 Days and 1 Night🌊A fairyland island that won't disappoint ✨Must-Read Transportation Tips Take a 40-minute ferry from Pengchang Passenger Port to the island (ferry ticket: CNY 45; departures every half hour from 6:30am–6:30pm). Non-local cars are not allowed on the island! If you are driving, it is recommended to park in the parking lot at the pier. It is recommended to rent a car to travel around the island (from CNY 49) or take the CNY 5 bus. Most B&Bs include a pick-up and drop-off service at the pier. 🌅Must-Visit Attractions + Itinerary 📍North Line (Day 1): ➊ Half Moon Bay: A crescent-shaped beach covered with colorful pebbles (opening hours: 7:30am–6:10pm). Picking up stones and taking photos is super relaxing. ➋ Jiuzhang Cliff: Head to the cliff before 5:30pm to watch the sunset over the sea 🌄. The lighthouse + seaside crown sculpture are great for taking photos. Couples, remember to make a wish on the reef! 📍South Line (Day 2): ➊ Fairy Cave: Cross Buxian Bridge to search for traces of the immortals. ➋ Linhai Scenic Area: The wonder of two colors at the intersection of the Bohai and Yellow Seas. Overlook the collision of the two seas from the boundary monument. ➌ Fengshan: Climb to the top for a 360° view of the entire island. 🦞Tips for Saving Money on Food and Accommodation ▪️Choose a B&B that includes three meals! CNY 300 per person includes a seafood feast + accommodation. Choose from a king-size bed room/family room. ▪️A combined ticket is more cost-effective than buying single tickets: A full-line combined ticket allows you to play for two days, and student IDs receive discounts. ⚠️Hidden Ways to Play & Notes ▫️Prepare sausages on the boat to feed the seagulls! (But don't get too close to the railing) ▫️Check the weather in advance! Ferry services will be suspended in strong winds and heavy fog. ▫️Pebbles cannot be taken away. Just take photos as a souvenir.
