6019 Travel Guide

Changdao County belongs to Yantai, Shandong, China, an island county in the Bohai Strait where the Bohai and Yellow seas meet, formed by the 32-island Miaodao Archipelago. Its clear waters and dramatic reefs make a northern seascape of quiet beauty: the pebble beach of Crescent Bay, the cliffs of Nine-Zhang Cliff, the pine waves of Forest-Sea Park and migratory birds. Visitors see the Bohai–Yellow Sea divide, wheeling gulls at Bird Island, and summer-night bioluminescent seas. Changdao is a retreat for cooling off, sea views, birdwatching and fisher-village life at a slow, unhurried pace.
