Scenic spot introduction:

Yantai East Fort Seaside Scenic Area is comparable to the Mediterranean coast. It is a large-scale comprehensive coastal tourist attraction integrating coastal scenery and historical sites, ecological tourism, and national defense education. A hundred years ago, Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang discovered through research that this was a rare coastal defense site, so he asked Emperor Guangxu to build a fort here, and asked German technicians to supervise the construction and installation of the most technologically advanced Krupp cannon at the time. Today, the ancient fort is not only a precious historical relic, but also the habitat of seals, a noble marine animal, which perfectly integrates nature and humanity.
