Yantai, a city in East China's Shandong province steeped in revolutionary history, is home to enduring tales of courage and faith. As we mark the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, these key red landmarks stand as vivid testaments to the past, waiting for visitors to listen to their stories.

Yantai Mountain Scenic Area

Yantai Mountain is home to historical landmarks including Yantai Port Opening Museum, Jiaodong Revolutionary History Exhibition Hall, and Anti-Japanese Martyrs' Monument. 

These preserved sites collectively narrate Yantai's transformative journey — from its forced opening as a treaty port to the 1911 Revolution. They vividly recreate the epic patriotism of Jiaodong revolutionary martyrs and the heroic resistance during the Anti-Japanese War.
