The main attractions of Yantai Mountain

The Longwang Temple in Yantai Mountain was built in the Ming Dynasty, which was built by local people to pray for rain and ensure a bumper harvest. It has a history of hundreds of years.

After the founding of New China, Yantai Mountain was reborn. From 65438 to 0994, Yantai Mountain Management Department carried out a maintenance of Longwang Temple. In 2000, Longwang Temple was renovated again, which restored the temple with a history of hundreds of years to its original appearance.

Martyrs shrine

During the period of 1936, Yantai officials, businessmen and scholars raised funds to repair Longwang Temple, transforming a low-rise building in the south courtyard of Longwang Temple into a martyrs' shrine. The Martyrs' Temple faces south and consists of the main hall, the east wing, the west wing and the gate. The Hall of the Great Heroes enshrines the statues of Guan Yu, a famous soldier from the Three Kingdoms, and Yue Fei, a famous soldier from the Song Dynasty. In the East, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang are devotees, while in the West, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian are devotees. The West Wing is a display of "loyalty and righteousness for thousands of years". Guan Yu's last words to future generations are: "Jade can be broken without changing its whiteness, bamboo can be burned without changing its festival", and Yue Fei's last words to future generations are "someone will come after me and give me back my rivers and mountains".

Shishi Sichuan rice

Who split the stone wall into a boat and stood on the hillside at sea? Even if there is wind and waves, you can't make a fuss, although there is no potential energy of propeller and rudder. It is difficult for a rich guest to run north and south, and only one expert can feast in summer and autumn. But he laughed at the rubber boat and swam around the water, asking Wang Kong to wait for him automatically.

According to records, this seven-rhythm poem carved on the "side" of a stone ship on the back cliff of Yantai Mountain was inscribed by a public stone named Liu Jiubiao during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Not only is his font neat and rigorous, but his description and praise of Zhou Shi is also vivid and just right. As a result, Zhou Shi has become a famous landscape of Yantai Mountain.

There is also an inscription by Ding Jintang, a scholar in Shanghang County in the Qing Dynasty, "Governing the Winter Moon and Returning to the Palace to Watch the Stone Boat from the Capital". There are clouds on the clouds, and Wan Li has a long wind and sails, aiming high. Pianshi towering, participate in nature, the end of heaven does not borrow labor.

Zhou Shi sail is a natural wonder, and a few more personal poems are icing on the cake, which makes people cry. Facing this scene, hearing the sound of the waves and reading this beautiful sentence can be described as a blend of scenes and wonders.

Guluanshu

Luan tree, also known as "Luan flower" and "lantern tree". Sapindaceae, deciduous trees. It is rare for this tree species to appear in Yantai Mountain, and its origin still has a certain literary color.

It is said that there was a 17-year-old southern soldier in the Ming Dynasty who guarded thousands of families in Qishan on the south side of the coastline. He is far away from his parents and homesick. He often tears at the blue sky and white clouds. This scene was seen by a migrating bird. In the spring of the following year, he brought a seed of Luan tree from the soldier's hometown and put it in the stone clump soil not far from Yantaishan military camp. In a few days, the little Luan tree broke through the ground. The soldier from the south was surprised when he saw it. He cultivates it, waters it and grows up with it every day. Whenever you stand in front of it, it's like seeing your family, so this tree is also called homesick tree.

Today, although the ancient Luan tree has experienced more than 600 years of vicissitudes, it is still so flourishing and stands tall. Every year, when the spring breeze blows, it will sprout, flourish like blue, blossom against the spring breeze and bear fruit in the summer rain.

Guanhaiping

The beautiful Yantai Mountain is not only beautiful in natural scenery, but also a place where places of interest and historical sites gather. Guanhaiping is a lawn located on the north side of the cliff path. Although the area is not large and there is no foil, it has considerable weight in the hearts of Yantai people. Known as "Wanjingtai". This is the best observation point if there is a mirage-like spectacle.

However, it was not discovered and recognized by our ancestors long ago. In addition, Yantai Mountain is far from the village, and its main function is only to use the position to see the sky and measure the wind and waves before fishermen go out to sea. When the weather turns bad, fishing villages, old and young, often come here to burn paper and pray, hoping that the sea will be calm and their loved ones will come home safely as soon as possible.

After the opening of Yantai, great changes have taken place around Yantai Mountain. In front of the mountain and along the east coastline, there are many buildings, businesses connected by doors, and green trees and red tiles set each other off. Under the blue sky and blue sea, it is quite poetic and more exotic. Especially in Taiping Bay at the foot of Yantai Mountain, with the elevation of the harbor dam and the construction of coastal buildings, the images of Qian Fan surging, fishing songs answering, giant ships entering and leaving, and seabirds flying in the bay are ingenious and touching. At this time, I boarded Yantai Mountain, stood at Guanhaiping and looked around. Blue sea and blue sky, beautiful scenery, panoramic view, can be described as poetic everywhere If the season is suitable and the climate is moderate, a mirage will appear in the sea. In an instant, the fairyland, the world and the Yantai Mountain at the foot, in the clouds between them, became a platform.

Bingxin memorial hall

Bingxin Memorial Hall, the former residence of the East China Sea Customs Director, is now open to the public as Bingxin Memorial Hall. Bing Xin is an outstanding literary master, loyal patriot and famous social activist in China in the 20th century. He has made outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries and the cause of women and children. Her growth is closely related to Yantai. Bing Xin1903-1911lived in Yantai with her parents and spent her childhood. She calls Yantai her spiritual hometown. "When I mentioned Yantai, my memories and feelings poured in from all directions", full of affectionate words, is also a true portrayal of Bing Xin's infinite attachment to Yantai. Bing Xin is a valuable cultural resource and intangible wealth in Yantai. This Bing Xin Memorial Hall displays Bing Xin's manuscripts, works, photos and objects, and reproduces the deep love between Bing Xin and Yantai.

Relang pavilion

The surf pavilion, with its architectural style integrating ancient and modern, is exquisite and unique, and stands tall above the waves. Looking from a distance, sometimes it swims around in the water like a painting boat, and sometimes it is like a fairy pavilion in the air filled with mist. "Wave Pavilion", as its name implies, means to stir up waves. When you board the pavilion, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the distant mountains and offshore. When the waves are as flat as a mirror, you can listen to the whispers of the sea and feel life. When the waves are rough, you can still witness the "stormy waves lapping on the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow", which makes people feel worried. It is also a good place for fishing, which makes people relaxed and happy.

This is the best place to watch "Sunrise in Zhifu". As the morning fog gradually dissipated, the skyline of the sea and sky was clearly discernible, and the rose-colored sun bait was suddenly ejected from the sun's chromosphere, shaped like a flame. At first, it was an arc aperture, and the sense of shame was enlarged. Soon, sea and the sky was dyed bright orange. Looking around, the sea holds out a fiery red light wheel, dancing gently, experiencing ups and downs in the waves, and finally rising with the dripping seawater. Suddenly, the mountains are covered with clouds, the blue sea is shining with golden light, and seagulls are playing with water waves, which is refreshing. The poet climbed all the mountains to watch the sunrise, and wrote a poem: "Looking straight to the east, the sky is not white, the sea color is red first, and Fusang ancient mirror they nest. No waves and no wind, all clouds and clouds are comfortable, and the scenic spot belongs to Qi Kanggong.

It is said that this is also the best place to see a mirage. Seeing a mirage in Yantai Mountain is a must in Yantai. In the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1673), the Records of Fushan County recorded that "Yantai is the most spectacular Haicheng". Yantai here refers to Yantai Mountain. Since ancient times, the mirage of Yantai Mountain looking at the sea has been "no need to sail to Penglai".

beacon tower

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, "won the world in one fell swoop", so he attached great importance to national defense construction and set up health centers all over the country. Naturally, he established a defense system for health centers, health centers, camps and villages in coastal areas. China's coastal defense only formed a complete combination in depth in the Ming Dynasty, with a naval battalion patrolling the sea and an early warning system along the coast: there are heavy troops stationed along the coast and they can move at any time. Beacon is an integral part of "early warning system".

In the early Ming Dynasty, Qishan Zhenshougan Lake was also set up in the south of Yantai Mountain. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1398), a "beacon tower" was built on the present Yantai Mountain (using wolf dung as fuel). In case of enemy situation, smoke rises during the day and fire rises at night, and report the enemy situation to the neighboring station. People then call the beacon tower "Wolf Yantai", and the mountain where Wolf Yantai is located is called "Yantai Mountain", hence the name Yantai.

Yantaishan lighthouse

The only landmark building in Yantai City, built in April 1988, is a large beacon tower located at the top of the coast of Yantai Port, which is specially used for navigation of ships entering and leaving the port. However, it is not the earliest beacon of Yantai Mountain. The original Yantaishan Lighthouse was built by the British in the 31st year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1905). Due to disrepair, the lighting is dim and can no longer be used. It was demolished in the early 1980s, and the new lighthouse was later rebuilt. This lighthouse integrates navigation, tourism and maritime traffic command. It was designed by Tsinghua University. The tower is 49.5 meters high and has *** 12 floors. The third floor of the ground floor adopts the castle-like architectural style, and the elevator can directly reach the observation deck on the 1 1 floor, with 360-degree rotating lighting at the top, reaching 30 nautical miles.

Mengqingya bridge

The small wooden bridge hanging between rocks is named because it is located at the edge of "Meng Qing Cliff" in Yantai Mountain. Speaking of love cliff, there is another myth and legend. A long time ago, a young man who loved freedom met here to commit suicide because of the opposition of his parents and relatives. Unexpectedly, he met this cliff and separated them. In desperation, the tide dragged the board to the cliff between them and set up a wooden bridge between them. They rushed to the middle of the bridge, hugged each other, and vowed never to part in this life, thus giving up the idea of suicide: they both came here every year to worship the sea god. Meng Qing Cliff is named after it. This suspension bridge symbolizing "heart to heart" has since become a sacred place for young men and women to love each other and lock their lives.

Anti-Japanese martyrs monument

1945 On August 5, the Japanese government announced its unconditional surrender, and at dawn on August 24, Yantai was successfully liberated. In the liberation of Yantai, * * * annihilated more than 500 Japanese puppet troops/KLOC-0, and 89 Eighth Route Army soldiers died heroically. In order to commemorate the anti-Japanese heroes who died in the liberation of Yantai, the Yantai Municipal People's Government, in accordance with the instructions of the Jiaodong Administrative Office, built a monument to the anti-Japanese martyrs on the west side of the Yantai Mountain Martyrs Hall in May 1946. This monument is 8 meters high and shaped like a five-pointed star. It is made of ivory granite stones. Just south of the monument are the eight red characters "Immortal National Heroes", and the names of 89 martyrs are engraved on the back.

On July 6th 1979, the Monument to the Anti-Japanese Martyrs was announced as a municipal cultural relics protection unit in Yantai. Now it is the base for Yantai military and civilians to carry out patriotism and revolutionary tradition education. Japanese consulate

Japan didn't set up a consulate in Yantai until June 65438 +0875+0 1 day.

The Japanese Consulate is located in Consular Road, Shanxi, Yantai (now Yantai Mountain West Road), covering an area of 25 mu, with 3 buildings and more than 70 rooms/kloc-0, reaching 2,446 square meters. Among them, the consulate building is a brick-concrete structure, adopting modern architectural design techniques and simple geometric combination techniques. Indoor distribution is reasonable, with underground floors. The whole building is influenced by the European new architectural movement, and it is mainly practical, which embodies that "the beauty of the body itself is beauty, not decoration". There is no decoration outside. Emphasizing the proportion of buildings and the relationship between walls and windows, it requires the combination of basic cubes, which is completely different from the eclectic architectural forms. It is the earliest such style building in Yantai. At the same time, the tile surface of the external wall has also created a new local architectural style of wall treatment.

The apartment building of its consulate was designed and built in the same way.

1987 This building was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

British consulate

The British Consulate officially opened on 1867. Its former site is located in Yantaishan East Road (formerly Consular East Road), covering an area of about 60 mu, and consists of a consulate and several ancillary buildings. In addition to the local characteristics of Yantai, the early building materials and construction technology also adopted the "veranda-style" design of Britain in its Asian colony according to the local landscape characteristics of Yantai Mountain. This design includes single-sided corridor, double-sided corridor, inner-wrapped corridor and circular corridor. It is the best direction for landscape viewing and has the characteristics of ventilation, sunshade and heat insulation. The interior is designed according to European customs, with fireplace and corner decoration. The style is simple and simple. In the later period, most of the buildings were mainly in English architectural style. Among them, the larger brick-wood two-story building adopts the style of "coupon gallery".

American consulate general

There are two American consulate buildings. The architecture of the museum site is characterized by irregular design, with wings protruding from the top and connecting the spire attic, which forms a curve echo with the window of the other half dome attic at the top. The edge of the main entrance steps on the first floor is elegant and decent, and it is treated as outward arc and radial, which has the legacy of European classicism.

The official residence building is a two-story building with brick and wood structure and square platform. There is a double-sided veranda in the southeast of the building, an attic at the top of the four slopes, a spire on the attic, a glass roof in the middle and short eaves of red tiles; On the second floor below, the interior is the * * * enjoyment hall, and the whole indoor wooden decoration is mostly arc decoration. The top decorative angle and arc skylight are beautifully designed and located in a moderate position, which plays a balance role in the whole building. The exterior wall of the building is made of drywall, red brick floss tape, ivory window and veranda guardrail, which is elegant and lively.

On 1987, the building was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

Norwegian consulate

After the United States, Norway set up a consulate in Yantai on 1864, becoming the fourth country to open a consulate in Yantai since its opening.

The Norwegian Consulate was completed on 1904. The whole building basically retains the characteristics of European civil architecture in16th century. It is a two-story brick-wood structure with symmetrical layout. The stone high-rise building foundation at the bottom and the external wall frame with blue bricks and clear water are treated as patterns and combined into geometric figures, which has a certain decorative effect. The roof is steep, and there is an attic. The spire of the attic is convex, just in contrast to the concave entrance below. The attic is the external decoration of the wooden house frame, made of "cross" flowers and diamonds, carved on the components around and below the attic spire, and has been well preserved so far. It is also inlaid with stained glass, which is gorgeous and ingenious. The dark red of the wooden component frame is calm and elegant against the white and gray walls. This is the only Norwegian building in Yantai so far.

1996, the building was announced by Yantai Municipal People's Government as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

Swedish consulate

187 1 year, Italy once set up an agent consulate here, and consulates of Sweden and other countries acted as agents for its consular affairs.

The Swedish consulate building is a reinforced concrete structure with two floors. The building is north-south, east-west, just across the Shandong coast of Yantai, facing Chaoyang Street business district and foreign consulate district, and the dining area and living and entertainment area are in the south, which is very advantageous. The building has a four-slope roof with an attic. The concave door on the first floor is located in the middle. There are two columns in front of the door, and there are two semicircular stone pillars beside the door, which support the semicircular platform part on the second floor.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the building was taken over by the people's government and later used for other purposes. Now, the former consulate site is well preserved.

Former site of Danish consulate

Denmark is a country between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea in northern Europe. 1867, set up a consular office in Yantai. Consuls of British Consulate in Yantai and Russian Consulate in Yantai also represent their consular affairs. It is one of the first countries to set up consular and commercial institutions in Yantai after its opening.

The Danish Consulate was built in 1890. It is located at the northern end of Consul Road in Yantai Shanxi. It is surrounded by mountains and ancient trees. You can see the sea and enjoy the flowers, and the environment is very elegant. Because it is located in front of the Longwang Temple, it is known as the "land of the gods". The whole structure is a three-story stone structure, including two floors above ground. The outstanding features of the building are as follows: all the walls are made of rough brown granite, which are closely connected and patchwork. The roof is a boarding platform with stone guardrails and stone pillars. The ancient castle-like appearance, especially the thick walls, the hole-like windows without brick corners, the forehead door and the undulating roof, is even more extraordinary, which Yantai modern architecture does not have. The office and decorative items displayed and placed in the former site of the current consulate, as a friendly exchange and permanent commemoration between the two countries, arrived in Yantai from Denmark through the Danish Embassy in China.

Guan Jing road

Consular Road is divided into East Consular Road and West Consular Road, which are located on the east and west sides of Yantai Mountain respectively.

There is also a magnificent and beautiful natural landscape on Consular Road, where the ancient and famous trees are lush and the winding paths are quiet and pleasant. The big stone boats, mother and son turtles and rugged reefs make people fully appreciate the wonders of nature. Today's Yantai Mountain East Road and West Road are fully displaying the style and charm of Yantai Mountain with their rich historical and cultural connotations and beautiful natural landscapes.

Union church former site

Chaoyang steet

Chaoyang Street, located in front of Yantai Mountain, was founded in 1872. It starts from Ma Bei Road in the south and ends at Haian Street in the north, with a total length of 400 meters. Due to the north-south trend and the sunshine of Yantai Mountain, it was named Chaoyang Street, and 19 12 was renamed Chaoyang Street. 1923 The street is paved with asphalt, which is the first asphalt road in Yantai. 1939 set underground ditches and change cement pavement.

Chaoyang street is a bustling commercial street in modern Yantai, which brings together famous foreign firms and old Yantai firms. In foreign companies, factories, businesses, banks and entertainment places, Chinese and English signboards abound. 1880, German businessmen opened Oz foreign firm on the east side of the northern section of the street, which was the largest peanut exporter in Yantai at that time. Since then, buildings on this street have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Shunchang Commercial Firm on the east side of North Street is unique and refreshing. The Clayton Hotel, on the other hand, is famous because Dr. Sun Yat-sen stayed here on 19 12.

Today's Chaoyang Street, although every bar and disco is full of modern atmosphere. However, if you stroll through the streets, the gorgeous decoration of western-style buildings and the dim foreign letters on the walls can still make people think, and their thoughts travel through time and space to appreciate the profound charm of the streets in the past 100 years.

Guangdong steet

Guangdong Street is located on the west side of Chaoyang Street, forming a "D" intersection with Shuntai Street, with a total length of 270 meters. Built in 186 1 year, formerly known as Guizi Street. After being turned into a trading port in modern times, Yantai became the trade center of China's northern waters, and more and more foreign businessmen from Guangdong and Fujian went to Yantai to do business. For the common interests of business, they have set up fellow villagers' associations and established guild halls. , and often discuss, get together and entertain. Guizi Street is inhabited by many Cantonese people who come to smoke and do business, so this street was renamed Guangdong Street. At first, it was paved with stones, and 1926 was built into cement pavement.

Haian steet

After the opening of Yantai, western powers followed. For a time, the port was busy and merchants gathered. Binhai Street area was favored by western expatriates because of its superior geographical location. To the north of the eastern end of Coast Street is the former site of the Foreign Magistrates' Association, which has now become a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.

Coast Street spans the bustling Chaoyang Street and Yantaishan East Road. It was the main activity area for foreigners in those days, and people of all colors marched in the city. Groups of nuns overlook the beach, foreigners on vacation stroll leisurely, and busy businessmen come and go in a hurry; Every night, it is full of feasting and dancing, which constitutes a noisy picture. On this road, I don't know how many influential events in Yantai's modern history have been interpreted.

Shuntai steet

Shuntai Street is located on the west side of the northern section of Chaoyang Street, starting from Chaoyang Street in the east and reaching Customs Street in the west, with a total length of 220 meters.

Although the western section has been partially demolished and rebuilt, the eastern section remains its original appearance, so that its historical features are basically preserved.

After the opening of Yantai, foreigners relied on the protection of consular jurisdiction to throw their weight around in Yantai, causing many incidents that hurt Yantai people. According to records, 1935, 12 In August, an American sailor was drunk near Yihe Qianzhuang in Shuntai Street. He was furious and beat the rickshaw driver to pieces for no reason, but finally went to the YMCA of the US Navy to "theorize". In semi-colonial old China, it was common for people to be enslaved and bullied.

The streets are still the same, the buildings are still the same, and people are no longer there. Quiet buildings seem to tell people a piece of the past, and also show people that they will not forget the national humiliation and cherish today's beautiful life.

Laobaoju steet

Old telegraph office street, today's Jiande street. It starts from Taiping Street in the east and ends at Chaoyang Street in the west, with a width of 5.5m and a total length of104m. With asphalt pavement, it was built at 65,438+0882.

1949 after the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), although there were no wealthy foreigners in the old telegraph office street, quadrangles and houses still existed, and the luxurious and elegant temperament on both sides of the street remained the same. Moreover, in these ancient buildings, except a few as public buildings, most of them are inhabited by ordinary people.
