Yantai, formerly known as Zhifu or Chefoo, is a prefecture-level city on the Bohai Strait in northeastern Shandong Province, China. It is also a small sleepy port city, that to this day still retains some of its colonial charm. The city is fairly small but there is a bustling development zone and large container and shipbuilding ports. There are a number of western expats working here on the docks and teaching English.
Yantai is home to Yantai Raffles (in Chinese: 烟台莱福士船厂) (Coordinates: 37°35′48″ N,121°23′39″E), which owns the largest ship building crane in the world, towering over the eastern edge of the T shaped peninsula. Yantai is known for tasty fruit, especially cherries, apples, peaches and pears and is also the home of Changyu Wines.
The seaside is home to a promenade for walking or relaxing. Among the seaside attractions is a great water, light and sound show: nightly at the promenade. It is definitely worth seeing.
Honeymoon to Hawaii
My fiancée and I used Michael as our travel agent when we recently booked our honeymoon to Hawaii. He was extremely knowledgeable on the area and strived to ensure we would receive the best value on our flights and accommodations. He was available and willing to chat with us morning, noon, and night and put all of our concerns at ease about making our honeymoon a truly unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Michael.
