Tourism chiefs in Changdao, an island county in Shandong province, have now devised a number of tours aimed at showcasing the mysterious charm of the area and attracting visitors to experience life in one of its many fishing villages. The following represents a typical itinerary for visitors.

For the first day, take a tour to the Nine-Fathom Cliff, the Crescent Moon Bay, the Amah Reef and the Fairyland Park. In the evening you may then take a walk around the Pearl Square and enjoy local seafood at the nearby sidewalk snack booths.

On the second day, go fishing on the sea and get to know how it feels to be a real fisherman netting fish day after day. After returning to dry land, tour the Forest Park and the Bird Exhibition Hall in Fengshan, the highest point in the county. At night, you can attend a bonfire party on the beach and appreciate the unique flavor of the local songs and dances.
