Nestled in the heart of Shandong Province, Yantai Mountain stands as a testament to nature’s grandeur and historical significance. Its towering peaks and lush landscapes have long captivated visitors, but it is the iconic lighthouse that truly illuminates Yantai’s rich maritime heritage. Serving as a beacon for navigation, tourism, and maritime traffic control, the lighthouse has witnessed the city’s evolution over the past century, guiding countless ships and inspiring generations.
Just a few hours away, the city of Qufu plays host to the 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations. Held on July 10 and 11, this annual gathering in the birthplace of the revered philosopher Confucius brings together foreign dignitaries, international organization representatives, ambassadors to China, and scholars from around the globe. The forum serves as a platform to explore the integration of diverse cultural perspectives, fostering dialogue to address common global challenges.
Together, Yantai Mountain and the Nishan Forum highlight Shandong Province’s pivotal role in bridging natural beauty and cultural discourse. Whether ascending the scenic trails of Yantai Mountain or engaging in profound discussions at the forum, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in experiences that blend tradition with contemporary thought.
