Langyatai
琅琊台
A coastal ancient terrace that the First Emperor of Qin climbed three times, with hilltop ruins and Qin-era culture, offering views of the Yellow Sea and Zhaitang Island.
Langyatai is located in Langya Town in the West Coast New Area. It is famous because the First Emperor of Qin climbed it three times during his eastern tours, and he ordered Xu Fu to sail out to sea in search of immortality. On the summit are a replica of the Qin-era Langya Terrace stele inscription, an Imperial Road and an ocean-viewing platform. The scenic area also includes Xu Fu Hall, a statue of the First Emperor and other Qin-themed buildings, with views of Zhaitang Island and the Yellow Sea. Admission is about CNY 60 (subject to the scenic area's published price). It is about 90 km from the city center, so you will need to drive or hire a car. It can be combined with Lingshan Island and Dazhu Mountain.
