Blue smoke along a wide road arrived in Yantai, can not help a bit disappointed with the city's appearance gives the impression of a very general, not imagined so beautiful and romantic. In my impression, Yantai and Qingdao as famous, but compared to know, Yantai and Qingdao is not a class city. Perhaps it is because just come from Qingdao's sake, (city of Qingdao is also one of the best cities in the country's) Yantai seemed a bit rustic, it seems less than the number of medium-sized city in Hunan and Hubei. A classmate told me that in Yantai, Yantai is the so-called "Lu blowing on the 1st," the birthplace of blown a great national reputation, the actual but it is easier disappointing.

The words of a friend may be a bit too far, at least I think that the traffic Yantai relatively convenient, Columbia gives the impression can be, the taxi starts at cheaper. However, other service industries would be difficult to compliment, I take the bus several times, is that the so-called "quasi-no ticket car", there are coin boxes, but stood next to a conductor, but also very blunt manner, each the station, the conductor hurried passengers are loudly "faster" "fast down", and sometimes even hands-on "push-pull" passengers get on and off, (not to embrace Rotary old and young, but to save time,) people feel very uncomfortable. Car has not arrival, flight attendants yelled, get off at a station there, and I began to understand the rules, find the station parking is a common sense, there is no answer, so he was pulled out of the far away, I got hit by Shi Huan meal reprimanded. I experienced the now rare "service." The conductor here, and the South are also different, rarely moving ticket sales, but the seated passengers to buy their own, this "old Aunt" type of conductor I have only seen in Yantai. Yantai telecommunications industry is famous pledge of the country's so-called birthplace of the system, I think that should serve well, but the day with friends to go Jiaodianhuafei (By the way, here Paying than many cities are convenient), clerical staff but a look of rigid, while chatting, while acting on the user's question is very impatient. If these pledges on behalf of the system's image, saying that people would blow Yantai indeed the case.

But what is most disappointing is that apart from the seaside city Yantai you can swim, I had almost no other sightseeing facilities, as compared with the Qingdao, where the coast of the building is too rough, old buildings and eclectic beach, waterfront not only a lack of Qingdao Beach the kind of atmosphere, it is also a lack of taste. As a symbol of Yantai Yantai Mountain seem like a residential compounds, surrounded by scenery mess, but the foot of the mountain along the coast of the Plank Road construction is still very interesting, in the towering Red Dust, also considered a quiet location. Along the coast to the eastern suburbs area, scenery gradually improved, but perhaps because of Yantai Yantai municipal government to build a big ambition is too wild, cities along the coast was stretched too thin, construction, are relatively crude and, along the coast is also interspersed with many fishermen's boats, distribution the rotten smell the sea bursts of goods. Qingdao, as refreshing lack of large urban green space, but also failed to reflect the characteristics of the square and the waterfront aquarium and water recreation facilities. In addition to beach, the Yantai not too decent park, a small park called Yuhuangding Beijing Beihai Park is only one twentieth of large, expensive fees than Beihai Park, and is said to have nothing to watch things, so I do not go. Daoshi Yantai several islands in the vicinity of (mainly kongtong Island and Chi Fu Island) told me that mainland tourists, but also more attractive to some.

Although there is no significant Yantai city and park table, but a few nearby islands, or bad, at least for the mainland tourists, the exposure on the island, surrounded by the sea, a wonderful feeling. First one island worth a visit is not far away from Yantai city's North Island (officially known as Chi Fu Island), in fact you can reach the island without a boat, because a road connecting with the urban area, strictly speaking, this types of island should be referred to as "land o.", it is the sea all around the island and surrounded on three sides by water, the peninsula has a distinction, it is only one way to connect with the land. Said Zhifu Island is China's largest land o., the island then there is the emperor left behind relics of the East Tour. The strange thing is that this close proximity of the Big Island and the urban areas, in addition to funding construction of the village by the island's "fake antique" temples and the cable car, the city government and virtually no tourism development. My friends and I ride on the island, apart from a little beyond the novelty and did not feel that there is "island" feeling around the scene was still not exotic. However, when a friend took me to the back of this island, it's the real beauty of it spelled out. Island, north and south of the different flat, where the shore is very steep cliff climbed, while the cliff at the bottom is a long beach, the most amazing is that this piece is not an ordinary common beach sand, but the natural The cobblestone beach well away from the hubbub of tourists few front is clean and clear sea, backed by steep cliff blocks out the sun, even though that is not far from the noisy urban areas, but the beach still has a primitive piece of natural charm .

Another island not far from the urban area is called kongtong Island, which is a true sense of the island, bathing beach in the urban areas can see that we are riding on the island fishing village of transport vessels to the island, the island is only a fishing village, although the urban areas across the sea, it has remained a fisherman's life color. (Of course, the villagers began to use their advantage of nearby urban areas, firms now tourism), the island built on the back roads, walking a lap around the island just 40 minutes around the island although no special exotic landscape, isolation but with the mainland, few outsiders come in, and the people is relatively simple, closed at night households, if not see the Islanders dressed in fashionable clothing, it will be mistaken for paradise.

In addition to these two islands, the island then a well-known is that more than 20 kilometers away from the urban area of Yangmadao, which is the local government to vigorously engage in tourism development of the island, said Jia RI time East Tour this point, stationed themselves horse, it was name. But a friend told me that the island has now been horrendous local development spending money like repair some of the inexplicable racecourse facilities and fake antiques, the capital of the island, many agencies also have their own "training base", "Nursing Homes "and other facilities, but there is nothing to look at things on the island charge is also very expensive. He advised me to be better to Long Island to see, by the way can also be informative look at the famous Penglai Pavilion. Said Long Island is the most beautiful place, Yantai, Penglai Pavilion fame, but in fact difficult to vice. I think, anyway, come, Penglai Pavilion is Baxianguohai of the Department are lucky, it might also have the opportunity to see a mirage. In any case, still have to swim about, heard only the relatively wealthy Long Island, in the past, as a friend strongly recommended, of course be wrong. Decided on the third day to Penglai, and Long Island.

7:00 I came alone a bus station, Penglai is a tourist area, so where the car bound for a lot of the station management fairly orderly, but the attitude of the station staff are irritating, slightly to ask two, it is very impatient, and a look of disdain on his face the expression inside and outside of the station and hung a banner of those moving in stark contrast to Jin Zhan Shangju queue when the service personnel to maintain order action rude, very loud. People extremely uncomfortable. Once again, I remembered a friend of Yantai's Evaluation: like shouting slogans in the media limelight (for example, have been clamorous claims to "build an international metropolis," and the like), in fact in many ways is even worse than some southern medium-sized cities and even county-level cities (such as Guangdong's Shunde).

Subsidiary is located in Yantai Penglai Pavilion Penglai City (county level), more than 70 kilometers away from Yantai City, take two hours by car. I am full of energy along the way, watch the scenery outside the window. Yantai is a very good way, there are words Road, Shandong Road, Guangdong bridge. Shandong famous road can be seen nationwide, while the road is located in Yantai Shandong Peninsula is easily accessible from around the highway leading to Yantai, is said to have as many as 45, but the people strangely, leading to this Yantai Penglai the most prestigious tourist area of the road, but it is still an ordinary roads. However, traffic can be. From the scenery along the way, I only realized, Yantai famous, not because the city, but because the village. Yantai villages and some villages along the coast compared to the South, though not particularly wealthy, nor the beauty of rivers and lakes, but everywhere one can see a variety of fruit trees (apple, peach, pear, grape trellis, etc. ), under clear skies in the morning, one piece red walls and red tile roofs of the neat farmhouse nestles at the lush orchards, this kind of scenery, and indeed intoxicated.

9:30 or so, cars arrived at the Penglai, which is a very beautiful county, (a friend once told me that most of the Jiaodong the county to build it well, but almost always a look) and get off immediately after someone came up and asked me whether the ride to the Penglai Pavilion, Penglai, I would like to be? Might as well walk slowly, but also look at the way street, so rejected, and the street front of the station seemed a bit messy, the way I asked, walked down the street in front of Penglai Pavilion and spent two ten minutes. Doorway surrounded with all kinds of souvenirs and snacks shops, many people, and also more messy, I would like something to eat and then go in, but those shops seem to like to do "big business", to me that the guests eat meals zero seems indifferent, and some even very rude and, finally, I simply bought two bottles of beer, a roast chicken, to the park to eat inside.

Penglai Pavilion built on a small hill, the mountain is not quite surprising, from the foot of the mountain looked, it seems that that is an outstanding appearance is not a small pavilion, along the previous level, but also did not feel any Xian Qi, after entering the House, in the Court overlooking the front of the walls down, the original sense is not high, a small hill into a towering cliff, Rinpu people have a royal sea, carried away feeling. Here is the beach, it was in swimming, not far from the sea Napian walled Chi Chi is said to be the year the training Kangwo sailors Penglai Water City, the sea far away, looming in Fudong Zhao a island that is Long Island.

From Penglai to Long Island, every hour class ferries, the Long Island man and land transport, depends on this ferry, the ferry is the kind of multi-passenger ro-ro ship, the above trips, a variety of vehicles parked below the last Yantai to Dalian the accident of the boat, it is this type, because of safety considerations, the wind at sea more than five (?), the ship stopped to open, so security is generally to have guaranteed. Long Island by a series of small islands, is said to Penglai county had only one commune, Yantai is now under a county population on the island, but 50000 may be one of the country's smallest county. As the population too small, so in Yantai, all the region's counties, is the only not renamed the "city" counties. Long Island, many people depend on fisheries and marine cultivation for their livelihood, but also made up the coast, the islanders said the per capita income in the early 90s reached 100,000 yuan, the country was the richest counties. Ferry bound for the Chang-shan archipelago the largest Southern Chang-shan Island, Long Island, is also the county seat - the town of Paradise. I thought Long Island, little can be traveled on foot across the island, after landing only to find this way of thinking is ridiculous. County park town was not much, only the southern corner of dao, but it is not much smaller than the average county, the city is very neat and build beautiful, the streets ran all kinds of cars, on the island roads more than 60 kilometers long, To not tired half to death by walking strange. Slightly open on the island, called a taxi, bound for beichangshan Island Half Moon Bay, it was Long Island's most famous scenic spots, from the South Island about 10 kilometers long hill, between the two islands connected to Long Beach . In fact, for me, the feeling of exposure to the island itself is very intriguing, and everywhere one can touch the presence of the sea, smell the sea atmosphere. Thus, Half Moon Bay beaches are pebbles and the inverted half-moon did not leave any deep impression. Return to the county seat, it was decided not to go that night, looking for a restaurant meal, and then stay there, and slowly enjoy the charm of this island city. Evening in the tranquil town but beautiful walk on the streets, in the waves lapping the edge of the island wander at night looking at the lights scattered on the other side, listening to the gentle waves, I will produce a sudden a strange feeling, feel that there is a lone, floated, I seem to split into two, from a high altitude in the hills overlooking this island: it is nothing but a boundless expanse of waves in a small gravel, but man is known as a transiting crawling on the edge of a gravel bacteria, they mate with, reproduction, until gravel was confused beyond recognition in those secretions.

Back to Yantai from Long Island to see the time still early, it Beizhao Bao wandering in the streets, by the way look at the city of Yantai. Had just arrived the day there is to do comparison, Qingdao, Yantai and inevitably inferior to many, the return, there are a quiet contrast to Long Island to do, but also added is exactly Sunday, Yantai becomes busy a lot, the streets bustling, peak and visitors crowd. Yantai boasts five areas, but the two areas are the original county seat, there are two zones are set up only in recent years, development zones and Laishan, under construction, and truly be called the city that is just ZHIFU, the entire City zonal distribution along the coast, pull very long, said that if the zone from the sodu date, to the east head Laishan, the entire city over 20 kilometers along the sponge, while the south mountain barrier because of the width However, 23 kilometers, (This is a bit like the topography of Dalian.) downtown is not the pattern, although a few streets, but it can really be regarded as "Main Street", that is, urban centers of South Main Street, other streets are not too short is too narrow, the building is not OK. South Street gives the overall feeling pretty good, on both sides of the building is not high, but occasionally can be seen several twenty to thirty-story building, decorated on both sides of the wide streets, and is pretty patchwork. Yantai's business district seems to spread thinly, showing point-like, gives the impression of several downtown locations are more chaotic, people and cars mixed lines, sidewalks are crowded with vehicles and items. Some new large stores were originally designed well, but all of this that have been left out of shelf space was packed, the shopping environment, it is very cramped. There are many commercial buildings are the last plant transformation, in spite of the decoration, but the appearance is still quite a bit shabby, although the shop does not close, not too many pedestrians, but it seems cluttered. Yantai but old people like to say that they "really", perhaps it is this utilitarian so-called "reality" of the performance, it is the shopping also crowding out. No wonder the natural environment of Yantai is good, the economic base is also good, but the building and the neighboring city of Qingdao, Dalian, Weihai, compared all appeared slightly inferior. It is said that the city's several deputy mayors, mostly from the counties and towns tune up, and college graduates are rarely, and multi-master's graduate of the municipal government of Dalian, Qingdao, no comparison group members. Apart from some employees and persons doing business outside the public in the outsiders rarely, even if the locals have received higher education, mixed with real folks in the village, the lack of contacts with knowledgeable friends, but also hard to avoid muddle along, vision and ideas are naturally "old fashioned" Some. In Shandong, Yantai Kong history, the first, but later fell after Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai was originally a subsidiary of cities, 80 mid-points came out from Yantai, a fresh start in many ways is said to have also reached the front of Yantai. Some are related to the quality of the public and local officials about.

However, Yantai, Dalian, Qingdao, although more than "native", the "ambitious" than they are large, Dalian's slogan is "Do not seek the biggest, but the best", Qingdao, Weihai, Dalian is also the same as the "beautiful" part of urban construction目标. The Yantai who has been obsessed with "big" in previous years, the slogan is to build "international metropolis" (with a Beijing Shanghai places, superior!!!) Later said that a little more pragmatic, to build "an international port City ", in the eyes of Yantai city to do big, very simple, punctuate, the repair around the house on it. Now, seems to have almost completed, and several districts along the sponge several tens of kilometers, the external can also be known as the "big city", but Yantai were also "satisfied" in 2010, into a "mega-cities", this kind of blind greed big "ambition" is nothing but a short exposure the result of blowing out of the country, inevitably left a laughing stock. Alas, this piece of beautiful beach, changed me as mayor, I must think to the "most beautiful" on the building, a pity that people do not know me, Yantai visitors mind, even if not as aware as I am going to continue tomorrow, going to Weihai Rangers, I have only
