Most coastal cities in China are near the sea in the east or south, and few in the north. Yantai is just north of the sea, so it has a unique sea landscape.
In winter, the dark brown sea looks dignified. The cold current from Siberia often sweeps across this sea area aggressively. Hill-like swells, like thousands of furious lions, bravely rushed to the embankment from the northern sky, splashing waves several feet high and making a thunderous noise. Sometimes, stone benches weighing hundreds of pounds on the shore are carried to the middle of the road more than ten meters away. Every day, when huge waves hit the shore, many Yantai people and foreign tourists rushed to the shore to watch this spectacular scene against the cold wind. Others stood on the shore, taking pictures with tens of feet of waves as the background, regardless of their clothes being wet by the waves, forming a magnificent scenery.
In spring, the sea turns green. Microwave, white waves, laughing and chasing from the distant horizon in the north, rushed to the shore. As soon as they touch the rocks and beaches on the shore, they retreat shyly and then jump up like naughty children. Spring is the season of sowing, and the sea is no exception. The fishermen who took off their winter clothes sailed across the calm sea and came to the breeding area to sow the seedlings of hope, looking forward to the harvest season.
In summer, the wind from the South Pacific makes many cities facing the sea in the south feel wet, and this wind with moisture is blocked and filtered by the mountains in Jiaodong Peninsula, and only when it reaches Yantai, which faces the sea in the north, will it remain cool and comfortable. Therefore, the sea in Yantai in summer is often as calm as a mirror, just like a quiet and gentle girl. The morning sun rises like a washed Le Ballon Rouge, dragging a long reflection on the sea. Every sunrise by the sea is fascinating. In the evening, the lights are reflected on the calm sea, and the stone benches on the shore are full of tourists. At their feet, the waves and the whispers of the bank are whispering.
Out of the romance of summer, Yantai Sea enters the crisp autumn. People who have lived in this city for a long time have this experience. On that day in beginning of autumn, the sea immediately became exceptionally blue and the sky became exceptionally clear. Compared with yesterday, the air immediately has the coolness of autumn. Say goodbye to the solemnity of winter, the lightness of spring and the romance of summer. In autumn, the sea becomes rich and busy, fishermen go out to sea, and cargo ships anchor and set sail. ...
The sea in Yantai is a painting with a broad background and a magnificent stage. Generation after generation of Yantai people have staged a magnificent live drama here.
