Make this route your own

Use these days as a starting point and adjust the pace to suit you. Check the linked attraction guides for reservations and closures, and allow a full day for longer outings. Confirm weather and tickets before setting off.

Choose one route for each day with alternatives below. Only its listed stops are imported. Optional stops stay in the guide, and opening days still need checking for your dates.

Choose which visits to shorten or replace. Check the experience’s address and conditions, and arrange meals, shows or workshops separately. The booking planner saves the listed attraction visits.

DAY1

Zhifu

Yantai Mountain and downtown wine history

Planner route: Yantai Mountain and downtown wine history.

Planner stops: Yantai Mountain + Changyu Wine Culture Museum.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Spend the morning on Yantai Mountain's open architectural and coastal route.
  2. Afternoon: Visit the downtown Changyu Wine Culture Museum with its own product, keeping tastings optional and transport simple.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If a heritage interior closes, retain an open hill walk only in safe weather; the remote Castel winery is a different venue.

DAY2

Zhifu / Laishan

A slower central coast

Planner route: A slower central coast.

Planner stops: East Fort Scenic Area + Haichang Fisherman's Wharf.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Choose the open East Fort interpretation and permitted shore paths.
  2. Afternoon: Continue to a limited Fisherman's Wharf walk and food stop if weather and transport allow.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

In high wind or rain, check the Polaris Clock Museum independently instead of staying on exposed coast paths.

DAY3

Muping

Yangma Island as a whole day

Planner route: Yangma Island as a whole day.

Planner stops: Yangma Island.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Choose a specific coastal segment with a start, finish and return pickup.
  2. Afternoon: Allow time for the spread-out island roads and a meal; Kunyu Mountain is another full-day eastern outing.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If storm controls close the shore, use a city museum day. Do not climb closed rocks to preserve a photo plan.

DAY4

Penglai

Penglai's historical focus

Planner route: Penglai's historical focus.

Planner stops: Penglai Pavilion, Sanxianshan and Eight Immortals Scenic Unit.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Give Penglai Pavilion the main historical visit, checking exactly which component your ticket covers.
  2. Afternoon: Sanxianshan and Eight Immortals are separate product decisions. A full Changdao trip usually needs a separate day or stay after eligibility and ferries are confirmed.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If boats stop, retain permitted mainland Penglai sections only; one 5A unit is not one universal ticket.

DAY5

Qixia

An inland manor or a western beach substitution

Planner route: An inland manor or a western beach substitution.

Planner stops: Mou Family Manor.

Places mentioned in this day's guide:

  1. Morning: Travel to Mou Family Manor for a selected courtyard and family-history route.
  2. Afternoon: Return with breathing room. Golden Beach or Castel winery is a separate western-day alternative, not an extra county stop.
  3. Evening: keep dinner and the return to your base flexible; do not add another distant ticketed visit.
If the plan changes

If the manor closes, choose another independently verified day before departing; Laizhou's Dajishan is too distant for a casual add-on.

These are alternatives to consider, not extra stops to add to the same day. Check locations and transfer times before replacing an itinerary stop; a distant excursion may need a full day.
