Distance & flight time from YNT
Yantai Penglai International Airport
Yantai Penglai International Airport, coded YNT, opened in 2016 to replace the aging Yantai Laishan Airport closer to downtown, relocating operations to Penglai District on the Bohai Sea coast. Penglai carries deep roots in Chinese folklore as the legendary departure point of the Eight Immortals, and its historic Penglai Pavilion remains a draw for visitors to the wider Yantai area. The city built its modern identity partly on wine, home to Zhangyu, one of China's oldest and largest wineries, alongside fishing and manufacturing industries. YNT sits closer to the Korean Peninsula than most Chinese airports, a geography that has long supported ferry and flight links across the Yellow Sea toward South Korea. Domestic routes connect Yantai to Beijing, Shanghai, and other major hubs, and the airport has expanded steadily alongside the city's growth.
