A glimpse of Yantai 1 As a tourist city, Yantai's scenic spots are mostly distributed outside the urban area, and there are not many places to go in the urban area. In addition to the free opening of Liangpao Mountain, the main natural and cultural landscapes are concentrated in Yantaishan Park and the crescent-shaped Binhai Road in the southeast.
To the west of Binhai Road and to the south of Yantaishan Park, there are some buildings in the late Qing Dynasty marked as "municipal cultural relics protection units". This used to be the consulate area of foreign powers such as Europe and the United States in Yantai, but now it has been used for other purposes. Only blue-gray buildings and signboards are still telling people the humiliating history of Yantai.
Walking into Yantaishan Park, I saw a building community made of blue bricks. This was the American Consulate in Yantai in those days, but now it has changed its doors and become the "Yantai Peking Opera Art Exhibition Hall". Many performance stills of Yantai Peking Opera predecessors and rookies are hung on the walls of the museum, and various Peking Opera masks, costumes and props are also displayed indoors. It's just that Liao Ruochen, a visitor, makes people feel "left out".
There is a staff member in each room of the exhibition hall. Most of these people are sleepy in their chairs and don't even blink when they come. Even if we occasionally see one or two sober eyes, they either stare at us as "monsters" or simply say to us, "What's there to see here? They are all moldy clothes and old props. " Because of the attitude of the staff, we can only walk around the room and then leave quickly.
Out of Yantai Peking Opera Art Exhibition Hall, go up and then go west, which is a rectangular small lotus pond. The pool is not more than two meters wide, but only seven or eight meters long. There are three or five lotus flowers in full bloom in the pool, and one or two are still in bud. Lotus white and pink are two colors, a pair of beauty and elegance of "getting out of the mud without dyeing".
We walked through the small wooden bridge on the lotus pond and came to another building community. This is Bing Xin Memorial Hall, a famous modern woman writer. In front is a bronze statue of Bing Xin, which looks natural and friendly. Bing Xin once lived in Yantai in his early years. On display here are some works and articles used by Bing Xin in those years, as well as some pictures of Bing Xin's early life and creation.
One of the exhibition halls is arranged in the shape of Bingxin bedroom and study. The bed, tables and chairs, desk lamps and bookcases inside are all items used by Bing Xin. There are pictures and text introductions about Bing Xin's life on the wall around the exhibition room next door, and there is a gypsum statue of Bing Xin in the center of the room.
My daughter and I are going to take pictures indoors as a souvenir. Although the staff said that taking pictures was not allowed, it didn't really stop it. It's just that after we took a photo, what we said to us was exactly the same as what we heard in the Beijing Opera Art Exhibition Hall: "They are all used old things and have a moldy taste. There is nothing to shoot! " After listening to the staff, I was speechless for a moment, just smiled and shook my head, left the exhibition room and walked out of the memorial hall through the back door.
Liao Ruochen, a visitor to the Beijing Opera Art Exhibition Hall, and Bing Xin Memorial Hall are also "empty doors". This reminds me of the lotus pond I just passed. Perhaps the masters of Beijing opera art and literature are too elegant like the lotus flowers in full bloom in the pool, which is not suitable for the current Xialiba people. In the impetuous and noisy urban atmosphere, they can only be as narcissistic as the lotus in the pool. Faced with the temptation of money and utility, how many people will think of them?
Walking up the steps made of bluestone, we went straight to the top of Yantai Tower. The main body of Yantai Mountain stands in the sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected with the land on one side. The tower stands high on the top of Yantai Mountain. This is a lighthouse tower, which was used to guide ships into the sea in the early years and is a landmark building in Yantai. Standing at the top of the tower, you can have a bird's eye view of the whole city of Yantai. Climbing the tower at night and watching thousands of lights shine with the stars and the moon is even more interesting.
You have to take the elevator to climb the tower, and you have to pay. My wife and daughter don't want to go to the tower. My son-in-law and I climbed to the top of the tower together after buying tickets. The tower is equipped with high-powered binoculars for tourists to enjoy the scenery of Yantai and the sea. After enjoying the scenery of Yantai city and the sea with high-powered binoculars for a while, we took the elevator down the tower, met our wife and daughter at a stone table not far away and began to have lunch.
After lunch, we turned down the stone steps facing the sea to the east. At the junction of Shanshi Road and Highway, we came to Longwang Temple on the north side of Yantai Mountain. There are fireworks in front of the Longwang Temple, and a thick incense can be smelled in the distance. In the middle of the temple is a statue of the dragon king, shaped into a golden body. The statue is tall and majestic, sitting in a dangerous place for tourists to worship. The entrance is blocked with red cloth rope to prevent tourists from entering without authorization.
Not far from the gate, it is said that when Yantai was captured by the great powers, the Longwang Temple was once the seat of the French army headquarters. In the face of the invasion of a strong enemy, it seems that the Dragon King is simply unable to protect the peace of Yantai. In this way, it is ridiculous for tourists to worship the Dragon King. Building a strong national defense force is the guarantee to keep the enemy out of the country.
Longwang Temple faces southwest, and there is a yard not far away. When you enter the hospital from the east gate, you will know that this is the "Martyrs' Temple". The "Martyrs Temple" is dedicated to a generation of martyrs, and it is unknown because it did not enter the temple. I saw that the entrance to the temple was also full of smoke and incense. It is somewhat unexpected that there can be such incense in the "Martyrs Temple".
There is an "inkstone" in the yard, engraved with a poem by a gentleman named Cui. I don't remember the poem clearly now, except that the content of the poem is a pity for Yantai's humiliating history, a hatred for the invasion of foreign powers, an anger at the weakness of the Qing dynasty, and more of a lament for people with lofty ideals who have no way to serve the country.
Go east when you get out of the "Martyrs' Temple", and then go south along the highway. The beacon tower is not far from the roadside. The beacon tower is very high, with stone steps that can reach the top after folding. Below the beacon tower is a station hole, and the side facing expressway is a door that can enter and exit, which has been sealed now. The beacon tower is surrounded by cribs and shooting ports, and there is an iron cannon in the northwest corner, the muzzle of which points directly at the sea. In the middle of the beacon tower is a sharp iron chimney for early warning at sea.
The words on the beacon tower said that in the past, if the soldiers guarding Taiwan found the enemy at sea, they lit a bonfire alarm in the station hole, and the beacon smoke emerged from the iron chimney, which could be seen by the whole Yantai city. I guess (is the actual situation so unclear) that the names of Yantai City and Yantai Mountain may come from this?
After coming down from the beacon tower, we walked southeast along the highway and turned northeast at a fork in the road, ready to take a walk along the coastline. A long road to the north is a tree-lined road. Shrubs and vines on both sides of the road grow thickly and interweave in the middle of the road to form an arch. It's hard for even the sun to shine in here, so it's a good place for shade and summer.
When I came, I had finished drinking mineral water and got a new ice cream, but in summer, the sun was exposed, which still made people feel a little hot. In a place marked "plank road", my son-in-law and I will go down to the east and take the plank road by the sea. My wife and daughter are afraid of the heat and refuse to go with us. They walked north along the tree-lined path, while my son-in-law and I followed the steep stone road to the seaside under the cliff on the east side.
I didn't know until I got to the cliff that the so-called plank road was actually a path dug on the edge of the cliff or made of stone. The path goes up and down, narrow and wide, circling left and right, and the end of the road is covered with stones. On the cliff wall, mud caves formed by the impact of waves are everywhere. Under the cliff and by the sea, there are huge stones with no edges and corners polished into various shapes by seawater everywhere.
In the middle of the cliff by the sea, there are four stone characters painted red, "steaming Xia Tenglang". I don't know which generation and who wrote it. From the inscription on the cliff, it can be imagined that when the sea is at high tide, the waves are flying, the waves are hitting the cliff, the waves are flying, and the haze is steaming. What kind of momentum and sight this is!
We continued along the plank road and met our wife and daughter on a platform at the intersection of the Northeast Sea. Looking up, there is a beautiful pavilion on a cliff protruding into the sea on the mountain, named "Langting". When I first saw this name, I thought it was a good name. The word "provoke" brings the pavilion to life: the high tide here is not in the sea, but in the pavilion. All this seems to be because of the provocation of the pavilion, which makes people feel interesting.
There is a speedboat service on the lower north side of "Langting". You can travel around Yantai in Shandong, North and West by speedboat. We didn't take a speedboat because we used it before, and the price here is too expensive. The four of us just played in the rocks and sea water by the sea for a while and took some photos. Then we climbed up the steep stone road, passed the "Langting", crossed the tree-lined road, went down the mountain road and left Yantaishan Park.
After walking out of the park, we strolled eastward again. To the south of the road are new high-rise buildings, to the north of the road is the seaside square, and to the north of the square is the endless sea. There are many sculptures related to the sea and ships in the square, and the crescent-shaped promenade for tourists to enjoy the cool is just across the street from Yantai Changyu Wine Culture Museum.
On the side near the sea, a wide ladder was built with terrazzo, part of which was exposed to the sea and part of which was submerged in the sea. You can see three or five people fishing by the sea, and their expressions are so carefree. Fishing here, I don't think it's really fishing, but enjoying a comfortable life by the sea is the original intention.
On a shallow beach, we also saw a man in a diving suit waddling into the deep sea. It is said that this is the man who went to the deep sea to salvage seafood. We watched for a long time until we were ready to leave by taxi. We didn't see any divers ashore, let alone any seafood salvage.
A glimpse of Yantai, a strange city, can bear the emotional overload. Because of the infiltration of feelings, the region often becomes intimate and familiar.
In late March, Wuhan has entered the rainy season, but Yantai, on the coast of Bohai Sea, has just received the registration form for spring. The passage of time forced winter to drift away, and the sea breeze began to converge.
When you are alone, you can wander quietly on the spacious sidewalk. There is no crowded crowd in the metropolis, and there is no harsh car horn in your ear. Only the sea breeze can blow the scattered hair more freely. You can also face the mild sunshine, step on the soft beach and watch the fishermen busy at the seaside. At the foot, the sea gently stroked the beach, and seagulls circled and sang from time to time, playing in the warm spring. A person, walking slowly, staring at everything in front of him, seems to be in a static state, with complicated and comfortable thoughts!
At night, the moon is light but round, and the fresh air brings the old people closer to each other. The foul sea breeze intensified the cold force, making the traffic on the dim sidewalk even rarer. Occasionally pedestrians pass by, and everything is quiet and peaceful.
In this way, we walked hand in hand under the street lamp, walking in this city that does not belong to us, rubbing our frozen faces from time to time. Many times, we just hold each other's hands tightly and walk quietly, and silence is more than conversation, perhaps for fear of waking up the noise and prosperity in the city and breaking this rare tranquility and calmness; Perhaps we all know that quiet together can better convey the integration of the soul. ...
Life is a simple attitude. There are no luxurious villas, high-end cars, and you can't indulge in luxurious food. This place does not belong to ordinary us. Walking in this seaside city is like a millet in the vast sea, silent and unremarkable; However, we are rich, and one look and one action is enough to convey each other's emotional ties. So is the so-called "However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn".
Simple life, sincere life. It is useless for others to peek at what belongs to them; It's no use taking something that doesn't belong to you. Let your heart calm down and put your love in the corner of your heart, and you will gain a simple and rich life.
A glimpse of Yantai prose 3 classmates Long Literature has lived in Yantai for a long time. My son and I went to Yantai that year, and he warmly received us. In three days, we went to Penglai Pavilion, visited Weihai and visited Nanshan Scenic Area. Finally, he took us to the picturesque Yantai Mountain.
Yantai Mountain is located at the northern end of the city. Surrounded by the sea on three sides. Also known as "island". Here you are. The mountains stand upright, the trees are lush, exquisite and elegant. The highest elevation of this mountain is 43 meters, with a total area of 1 1.6 hectares. It is a national 3A level scenic spot.
The author prefers mountains to the sea. It was very late when we went down the mountain. There are quite a few people on the beach. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, three or five people are on the beach, setting a table, lighting a candle, making a pot of tea and chatting. The sea in the distance is shrouded in darkness, so deep that the waves spit out spray and make faces from time to time, which makes people puzzled.
My son is committed to building fortifications on the beach. The night is already deep. He showed a reluctant expression when we called him back. I was very excited when I knew that the sea would rise in the morning. I shouted that I would come to see his strong "fortifications" the next morning.
At half past six in the morning, my son rolled over and got up. Without looking for Uncle Long, he dragged me to the seaside. Fortunately, the place where they live is not far from Yantai Mountain, and the father and son set off with great interest.
When I arrived at the seaside, I found that last night's "fortifications" had already been washed away by the high tide. My son regretted it and plunged into his "fortifications".
The sea seems to be playing on purpose, and the "fortifications" he built have been rushed over again and again. After being washed away again and again, his son built them again and again.
In the distant sea, the veil was lifted last night, revealing his graceful figure. The wide sea is deep, and several petrels are flying on the sea. "The wings touch the waves for a while, and the arrows rush to the clouds for a while." The picturesque scenery on the sea is fascinating and crazy. Seeing my son's seriousness and listening to the singing of the sea, my thoughts poured in.
I like mountains. At work, if I can't get rid of my troubles, I will take Dai Yue to climb a hill not far from home. When I stood at the top of the mountain facing the dawn, I saw the silence around the mountain. You will suddenly find that all the troubles brought from the foot of the mountain have vanished, and you will never find a trace of trouble again.
"Look, Dad, my fortifications have been washed away again." My son's crying brought my thoughts back to the seaside of Yantai Mountain. Seeing that my son's "fortifications" were swept away again, I suddenly saw the distant waves rushing to the seawall dam without hesitation, and the waves hit the seawall dam and could not stop the waves behind me. Broken waves bring people a sense of freshness. Behind this freshness, people will see its tenacity and vitality. You will be infected by it and increase your courage to break through all difficulties.
The "works" were washed away, and it suddenly occurred to me that if the "fortifications" were built higher, the waves would not be able to wash away my son's "fortifications". I thought you said, "Take a step back. Starting all over again, is it another helpless retreat?
To this end, I want to say that I still don't understand you.
A glimpse of Yantai More than 40 years ago, some retirees in my hometown agreed to go to Yantai to buy a house and settle down for the elderly. In addition, relatives' hometown is also in Yantai, and they often say how beautiful it is, so the idea of having a chance to visit Yantai gradually sprouted in their hearts.
Finally, one morning in early summer, I went to Yantai to see the seaside scenery for a day. We first came to the vicinity of Laishan city government. On the high grass by the roadside stands an artistic sculpture of "Love in Yantai", surrounded by large tulips, and yellow and red flowers have become a stunning sea of flowers. Crossing the clean and quiet road, we visited Fisherman's Wharf along the sidewalk. Under the right-hand subgrade is the vast and clear sea water, reflecting the extremely clear blue sky. The sea breeze is blowing slightly. The sky in Wan Li is cloudless in Wan Li, and many fishing boats, large and small, are parked on the calm sea in the distance. Not long after I left, I saw a hardworking and simple fisherman get up early and sell fresh fish, shrimps and crabs that had just been salvaged. The sea breeze blows the faint smell of fish and shrimp to the road, which is unheard of in my hometown. Entering the winding wooden plank road of Fisherman's Wharf, there are many reefs and aquatic plants in the clear water, and the stone steps in the shallow water are gently hit by the waves, and occasionally the bodies of small crabs floating on the water can be seen. The villa buildings in Fisherman's Wharf are mostly European style with spires. There are few tourists in the town, warm and peaceful, the streets are clean and the atmosphere is quiet and leisurely. We quickly crossed the town and came to the vast bay. Not far ahead is the second bathing beach with vast clear water. The clear water and blue sky are almost integrated, and there are huge ships passing slowly on the distant sea.
Leaving Fisherman's Wharf Town, we took a double-decker bus to Yantaishan Park near the first bathing beach. At noon, we had lunch in a restaurant near the park, and then we went for a walk by the sea. The endless blue sea and blue waves are rippling, and the soothing waves are slowly stroking the beach with a curved posture. In the distance, the water and sky are the same color, and the ships come and go slowly, and from time to time there is a deep and distant whistle. The sea breeze immediately relieved us of the discomfort caused by the hot summer. Sunny, calm, blue cloudless sky is particularly vast and deep. The laughter of tourists is accompanied by the sound of the waves lapping on the beach, which makes people feel that the time at the seaside is so beautiful and comfortable. Looking at the sea and the blue sky, let the dull and silent mind be suddenly enlightened, and the slightly wrinkled brows slowly stretch, and truly realize the beauty and happiness of the years in the mountains and the mood at sea.
Walking near a square full of green grass and flowers, there is a cherry string sculpture on a huge red apple that is particularly eye-catching. In the center of the square, several retired people are dancing gracefully and generously, and from time to time, young people like coaches are guiding the nuances of the movements. The veranda on the edge of the dance floor is covered with bouquets of cotton white, light purple and blue purple. The flowers are elegant, revealing exquisite and simple nobleness, which makes people reluctant to leave for a long time and revel in the beautiful reverie of Dimfragrance Sleeves.
As night fell, we went for a walk by the sea again. The temperature plummeted, the sea breeze swept across the long beach, and the chill quietly harassed the whole body. Fortunately, we all added clothes in advance, which did not hinder a long walk by the sea. The lampposts on the seashore are getting brighter, and the sea looks quiet and cold. The dimly lit sea is like an undulating dark green satin, delicate, smooth and thick. The waves on the shore are dotted with swaying reddish clouds. The outline of tall buildings in the distance is gradually blurred, and the lights along the coast are flickering and turning into colorful ribbons. The quiet and cold night covered the sea with a slight breath.
Our mood is also like the vast sea that is about to sleep. Quiet heart, silent, silent gaze, let a long-lost vicissitudes gently wash away the lead, re-recognize the shortness and preciousness of life, and feel sad for a while, and look back is just around the corner.
