Finally understood why Qingdao's sea is called the sea—Yaner Island is legendary

I declare! Yaner Island is the ultimate spot to see the sea in Qingdao! This trip was definitely worth it, completely captivated by the stunning scenery here. Sharing my travel guide👇

📍Address: Yaner Island Mountain Park
🎫Tickets: Free
🚗Transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to Yaner Island Road Station Exit C, then transfer to a bus or walk; you can also take bus 210/231 to "Zhuhai Branch Road East Sea Middle Road" stop; if driving, navigate to "Seaview Garden Hotel," where free parking is available, and it’s a 5-minute walk to the coastline.

📸Photo spots

1. Jeju Island-style wooden boardwalk: Navigate to "Qiaoyuan New Village," the white railings stretch along the winding coastline, every shot looks like a scene from a Korean drama. Standing on the boardwalk with the sea as the background, every photo looks great. Recommended to go after 4 PM when the light is soft, making photos naturally atmospheric~
2. Mysterious rocky cave: Found by going down the stairs on the right side of "Yaner Island Smart Park West Gate 2" to the beach. Taking silhouette photos before high tide is super atmospheric! Remember to check the tide schedule before you go.
3. Comic-style tunnel cave: Locate "Yaner Mountain Internet-famous Cave," the square cave frames the sea like a portal to a 2D world. Photos here will instantly look like a masterpiece.

💡Travel tips

1. Wear comfortable shoes because there’s quite a bit of walking, and the rocky areas can be slippery, so be careful.
2. Bring sunscreen as the UV rays by the sea are strong.
3. For beautiful photos, it’s recommended to wear light-colored clothes for better shots~

Yaner Island is really great for photos and exploring, everyone hurry up and go!💕
