　　The place we are going to visit is Yantai, which is known as the "GoldenCoast and fairyland on earth". The ancients said, "the wise enjoy mountains andthe benevolent enjoy water". Yantai is a place where the mountains and riversare in harmony and the momentum is magnificent, so you can enjoy the pleasure ofthe benevolent and the wise when you visit here.

　　Yantai is located in the east of Shandong Peninsula, bordering on theYellow Sea and Bohai Sea, with a total area of 13700 square kilometers and atotal population of 6.3 million. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides andconnected with the land on the other side. The annual average temperature is 12degrees Celsius, without severe cold or heat. Yantai's superior geographicallocation and good coastal scenery make it a good resort.

　　Yantai has five districts of Zhifu, Laishan, Fushan, Muping and economicand Technological Development Zone, seven counties of Haiyang, Qixia, Penglai,Zhaoyuan, Longkou, Laizhou and Laiyang, and one county of Changdao.

　　Yantai has a long history. According to research, people lived here asearly as 10000 years ago. Yantai was known as Zhifu in ancient times, and ZhifuIsland, the largest land island in China, is here. Looking at Zhifu Island froma height, it looks like a Ganoderma lucidum deep into the sea. Maybe that's whyQin Shihuang believed Fang Shi's words and made many personal visits to findimmortal elixir. And Zhifu's "Fu" has a "four" above and a "no" below, which maybe familiar to our friends in Shanghai, because Shanghai has Zhifu road. This Fuis also related to Qin Shihuang's search for immortality. It is said that QinShihuang began his tour to the East after calming down the world. He did notfind the elixir of immortality in his three visits here, so he said: "the fourthtime, I will never come back." it is indeed a golden saying. On the way back forthe third time, he died. This is the origin of the word "Fu".

　　Maybe you will ask, "why Yantai is called Yantai?" this is from the past.Yantai is a coastal area, so it was often invaded by foreigners. It has been animportant place for coastal defense since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty,langyanduntai was built on the mountain road near the sea for the purpose ofalarming. Langyanduntai is very special because of the mixture of wolf dung,sulfur and nitric acid. You may wonder, can't pig manure and horse manure?There's a way to say that, because wolf smoke is different from other kinds ofsmoke,

　　When other smoke comes into the sky, it will soon disperse, but wolf smokewill not. So once a pirate invades, wolf dung will emit wolf smoke to remindpeople to defend quickly. Later, this mountain was called Yantai Mountain, andYantai got its name.
