Penglai must-visit attractions Penglai travel guide

Three fairy mountains were recorded in ancient times, only Penglai is a real place. Penglai has unique scenery every season. It is a gathering place for photography enthusiasts. It is close to the sea and the beautiful scenery when the smoke is shrouded is truly worthy of the reputation of "Wonderland on Earth". About Penglai

Penglai is known as the "Wonderland on Earth", and its legend of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and "mirage" wonders are well-known at home and abroad. According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas", Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou are called the three fairy mountains. And only Penglai is a place that exists in reality. Legend has it that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the Shandong Peninsula many times and climbed Danya Mountain, which protrudes into the Bohai Sea, in search of the elixir of life. Later generations called this Danya Mountain Penglai.

The best time to travel is from May to October, but as a photography enthusiast, Penglai actually has unique beauty in every season. For example, the Jiaodong Peninsula is famous as a "snow nest" in winter, with heavy snowfall every year.

The mirage appears after the rain from June to September. But it’s hard to come by, and it does take luck to see it with your own eyes. But another wonderland wonder is relatively easy to see - advection fog. It mostly occurs in winter and spring, mostly in northern coastal areas. It can "wrap" the buildings in the city, connecting the mountains and the sea, like a dream. The geographical environment of Penglai is very easy to form advection fog. Haibin Road/Penglai Beach

Hainbin Road is a green sightseeing avenue along the coast of Penglai, starting from Penglai Pavilion in the west and going east to the development zone.

Xiaohai was originally the estuary of Huahe River, and was a commercial port in Dengzhou during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. According to historical records, Xiaohai was extremely prosperous at that time and was one of the four major trading ports in China at that time. In the Song Dynasty, the small sea was also used for military purposes, and the fast ship "Saury Boat" used for combat was berthed.

A small sea was formed when the water city was built in the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1376). Xiaohai is wide in the south and narrow in the north, with a stone arch bridge (Dengying Bridge) in the middle to connect it from east to west. On the north side of the west end of the bridge, there is a stele of Penglai Shuicheng dredging. The inscription was written by the calligrapher Ouyang Zhongshi. The coast of Xiaohai is built with stones for boats to dock. Sanxian Mountain
