Upon arrival, take airport shuttle bus line 2 to Hanting Express Hotel first. Then take bus no.21 to Tianma Xiangcheng Coach Station. After arriving, walk northeast around 1km to find the hotel.

My daughter will be flying into Yantai airport at night in January
Worried for her to be safe and get a ride and hotel speaking no Chinese. Also about her phone not working there to have any communication with her. The hotel airport is suppose to be close but walking 10 minute at night on the road sounds bad to me. Just need advise for her to follow when she arrives there.

She will find clear English guide in the airport. Or she can show the hotel name to staff to decide the right direction to the hotel. Don't worry, you can trust Chinese security situation.
