There are also many joys on Yantai's small islands.

Long Island and Moon Bay are both beautiful.

The Jiuzhang Cliff has an interesting rock texture made up of countless horizontal layers, a product of crust movement that occurred more than 100 million years ago. Besides several natural scenic spots, there is also a museum of Chairman Mao badges that is worth visiting.

Horse-Breeding Island is much quieter. The island is said to be where the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty kept horses, hence the island's name.

Although the island has a racetrack, these days another activity provides much of the entertainment for tourists - cycling. Bicycles are available to rent on the island and it only takes a few hours to cycle the whole island.

After a day cycling, there is nothing better than barbecuing by the seaside and eating a feast.
