Bordered by both the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, Yantai sits at the northeast part of Shandong province. Although located in northern China, monsoons regulate the climate and keep the area warm and humid. With a long coastline and more than 60 islets, the city is famous for its picturesque scenery and abundant seafood.
