There was a realization that Yantai had more to offer than I had experienced in one visit. It was fascinating to return during different seasons from pleasant spring, through hot humid summer and into autumn with its encroaching storms. The latter proved quite spectacular as I walked from the hotel, watching waves crash up and onto the promenade. By next morning, calm had returned. That afternoon I climbed up to a vantage point overlooking the older harbor area and fishing town dominated by the historic lighthouse on Yantaishan. The hill and adjoining land formed natural protection for the early docks. Today most commerce revolves around the many large vessels berthing at newer facilities farther west, some located almost below where I stood.
