On the evening of September 22, the 2021 Shandong Conference on Tourism

This conference will be a unique, high-profile tourism expo, and to that end,

sense of openness and sharing, and will take opportunities to demonstrate
achievements, exchange experiences, and showcase innovation and development.
Publicity and promotion campaigns have been extensive. The conference

major cultural tourism show: A Heartfelt Pledge of Love for Yantai, a working
session, and a project observation. Additionally, there will be four additional
activities - a display of cultural tourism achievements of 16 cities in
Shandong Province, a Yantai cultural tourism experience - The Pleasure of
Traveling in Wonderland, the 2021 International Coastal Tourism Development
Forum, and the Grand Yantai Carnival. In hosting this conference, Yantai brings
to the table new cultural tourism products, promotes spending by travelers on
those products, demonstrates the new image of the city and establishes a new
development mechanism.
Yantai is located at the foot of a mountain and prospers by virtue of its
proximity to the sea. The legend of 'Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each one
showing his own prowess' well known in this area. Attractions include the
remains of Emperor Qin Shihuang 'visiting Zhifu and enjoying the raging sea'
and of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 'building a palace just south of Penglai
Mountain'. Many long-cherished wishes reside in this city, such as Qiu Chuji's
'one word to stop killing and to save people's lives', Qi Jiguang's 'it is not
my intention to seek dukedom, I hope the sea will be flat!' and Bing Xin's
'holy hometown'. Here, legends and inheritance have been splendidly performed,
relics and allusions complement each other, mountains and seas annotate the
past, and the fairyland reveals the future. It was honored with the United
Nations World Habitat Award, and it is a national historical and cultural city,
an outstanding tourist city in China, and, as it happens, the only
international grape and wine city in Asia.
