Coastal Gem Yandunjiao Voted Among UN’s Best Tourism Villages for 2024!

Move over, Bali—there’s a new coastal star on the travel map! Yandunjiao Village, a 400-year-old fishing paradise in Shandong Province, has just been crowned one of the UN’s 2024 Best Tourism Villages. Talk about a glow-up!

Nestled between mountains and the Yellow Sea, this hidden gem offers 7 km of pristine coastline and epic Ming Dynasty history. Legend says it got its name from an ancient beacon tower built to fend off pirates (yes, real-life pirates! ).

Travel buffs, take notes: Think golden beaches, misty peaks, and stories etched in stone. Pro tip: The village’s sunrise views are *chef’s kiss* perfect for your next Instagram reel.

With this UN nod, Yandunjiao is set to become Asia’s next big sustainable travel hotspot. Who’s adding it to their bucket list?
