Suochengli Historic District
所城里
The former site of the Ming-era Qishan Guard Battalion city, where the saying goes 'the Suo city came before Yantai', with intact blue-brick courtyard houses and old lanes.
Suochengli is the old Qishan Guard Battalion city established during the Hongwu reign of the Ming dynasty, and it is where Yantai city began. There is a saying: 'Qishan Suo came before Yantai city.' The walled town keeps its chessboard-pattern lanes and over a hundred Jiaodong courtyard houses from the Qing dynasty to the Republic era. In recent years it has been restored as a historic and cultural district with folk culture exhibition halls, intangible heritage workshops, time-honoured snack shops and creative stores. It is free to enter. Located in the city centre of Zhifu District, about 1 km from Chaoyang Street, it is easy to explore on foot.
