Yantai in December: Persimmons aglow, wine below

In Yantai's Huang-Bohai New Area, winter has a unique poetry all its own. Persimmons glow like lanterns, turning every scene into a painting.

At Chateau Changyu-Castel, a lane lined with persimmon trees is now adorned with hanging fruits that drape softly from branches, casting gentle shadows in the slanting sun.

Stroll further along the vine-covered paths, then descend into century-old cellars where wine rests in quiet slumber. Here, winter holds no chill, only charm.
