About Yantai
A few years ago Yantai was awarded the prize as the most "Charming City of China". Yantai is situated in the northeast of Shandong Province and is bordered by both the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. Although Yantai is not a mega-city, it has its own unique charm. Fruits, vegetables and sea food are abundant in Yantai, with its long coastline and over sixty islands making the area ideal for any seafood fan. Scallops, mussels, lobster, crabs and prawns are all cheap and readily available.
Adding to the draw of Yantai is the stunning scenery in and around the city, which has earned the area wide-acclaim by the UN, which lists Yantai as one of the most inhabitable places on earth. Yantai is also the centre of wine production in China, housing the largest wine production base anywhere in China. With its high quality and more than a century of history, Zhangyu Red Wine from Yantai is one of the top brands in Asia.
