Yan Cang Wharf is a cruise terminal situated on the navigable route of the Xiaoqing River, and it is also the site of the ‘Huangtai Salt Warehouse Wharf Ruins’. A quaint pavilion stands on the wharf, facing the riverbank with a plaque inscribed with the words ‘Ancient Warehouse Ripples Jade’. The couplet on the supporting pillars reads ‘Without salt, food is bland; with boats, water is full of affection’.
On the side facing the road, there is another plaque that reads ‘Salt Warehouse Shines’, with a couplet that says ‘In one day, the laborers’ chants are replaced by flute sounds, and for thousands of years, salt ships celebrate the painted boats’. Historical records indicate that since the Qing Dynasty, the salt consumed by various prefectures in Shandong was primarily transported from the seaside via the Xiaoqing River to Huangtai Bridge, and then redistributed to other locations from this wharf, which was also a hub for salt merchants. The wharf is open all year round, accessible 24 hours a day, with specific business hours subject to the daily opening status.Yan Cang Wharf
