I am planning to go to Qingdao on October 1. It will take about four days and I want to visit both Penglai and Weihai. Please help me plan an itinerary. Thank you!

Weihai was originally not in my travel plan, but due to the recommendation of a netizen on the 'Travel Forum', it was mentioned that there is a place called "End of the World" that has not been burdened by human development. Go. When I saw this name, I was a little excited. I originally wanted to ask more questions to know more about the situation. Unfortunately, the netizen never responded to the post. Time was tight and my appetite was whetted, so I decided to go there temporarily.

The weather was originally very good in the morning, and there was still sunshine. But in the afternoon, not only did the sky become cloudy, but the wind also started blowing, and the temperature dropped suddenly. The driver on the road said that the cold air from Siberia was coming tonight. When the temperature drops to around zero, I think that the north is the north. When I say it’s going to be cold, it immediately drops to zero.

The road from Qingdao to Weihai is on the expressway. Sitting in the car, you can't feel the strong wind and can enjoy the road scenery. The cloudy weather makes the autumn atmosphere very strong along the road. The trees in Jiaodong Peninsula give people a sense of tallness, with yellow leaves hanging on the branches and straight trunks. Some of them have lost their leaves and are neatly arranged on the long road leading to the distance, which makes people feel calm. , I suddenly thought of Jun Qing's "Ode to Autumn Colors". I can't remember much of the article, but the artistic conception is deeply imprinted in my mind. There is still such a benefit in middle school Chinese class. If it were different now, I would never read this kind of article. Articles with obvious imprint of the times will miss out on many wonderful descriptions.

It takes four hours to drive on the Qingwei Expressway. The driver is a sturdy young man, and the young man riding with him appears to be smart and capable. They all speak Beijing movies, which is very different from Qingdao’s Shandong dialect. I don’t know. Whether it is related to the history of Weihaiwei, it may be the descendants of the Beiyang Navy who originally guarded the Weihaiwei. If so, it would be awe-inspiring. Although they could not stop the powerful ships and artillery of the Japanese and the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, but the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War The heroism and patriotism of the naval heroes greatly inspired thousands of passionate compatriots and won the respect and love of all Chinese people.

I was sitting on a brand-new iweco thinking about the past a century ago. The history is infuriating, but as soon as I opened my eyes, the clean roads stretching all the way told me clearly that it is now September. At the end of the decade, the era of allowing people to be exploited has long passed. History cannot be forgotten and the lessons should be remembered forever. But more importantly, we must develop the present and strengthen ourselves so that we can stand tall and dominate the future.

The access to the expressway is a progress. Shandong's transportation system is quite good. I was originally worried about the bad road conditions between Weihai and Qingdao, but now it seems to be unnecessary. The driver on the road said that it originally took four hours to take the Qingwei Expressway, but now it takes a little longer to take the Qingyan Highway and transfer from Yantai to Weihai. This is no wonder for them. Weihai was originally the tourist route, but now it is the off-season, and the number of tourists received from Qingdao is more than half that of usual. In our car, only three people got on at Qingdao Station, and they were in a hurry. When the time came, they had to leave whether there were passengers or not. This was good for the passengers, but sometimes it was not very cost-effective for them. , so a detour is bearable in this off-season. Anyway, we are running at high speed, so it won’t waste much time and energy.

I looked at the map yesterday and found that Weihai and Penglai are just on both sides of Yantai. After calculating the time, I had to give up going to Yantai. I spent one night in Weihai today and had to leave for Penglai tomorrow afternoon. However, judging from the map, apart from Liugong Island, there is no other place in Weihai that is particularly famous, and Liugong Island is not particularly attractive to me. I plan to go to the "End of the World" Just leave, but the location is not marked on the map book. You may need to find a map of Weihai to find it.

The car was driving very fast on the highway, which soon made me drowsy. I arrived in Yantai half asleep, but at first glance, the buildings were old and the layout was messy. , it is simply incomparable with Qingdao. My impression of Yantai comes from the advertisement of Changyu Red Wine, which said that Yantai has a large vineyard, and the impression of a French-style romantic manor was left in my mind. All of this was shattered now, and I could only comfort myself that I probably only saw the bad side. The romantic Yantai was hidden on the other side, and I had no chance to attend.

It was about six o'clock in the evening, and it was dark again. The car arrived in Weihai, and the lights were on. I walked out of the station with my luggage and looked at this strange town. I didn't know where to go for a while. At this time, a middle-aged man who was soliciting tourists walked up to me and introduced me to the Oriental Hotel. He said that it was not far away and was in the city center. I went to take a look. Although the decoration was a bit old, the windows in the room were very large. , facing the square and the main road, with a clock tower on the side. A big clock is particularly eye-catching against the neon lights at night. If you put wine by the window, you should have another sense of fun, so I decided to stay.

It was eight or nine o'clock after I finished my meal and took a shower. I put on a coat and wandered alone on the street. This place is just like Qingdao, with few pedestrians and empty streets, leaving only the neon lights along the way for entertainment. The temperature was acceptable that night, and the greening plan on the square was serious and tidy, but there was always a lack of aura. On the contrary, a series of monthly award-winning works and outstanding works of photography enthusiasts in Weihai are displayed on the outer wall of a camera store. There are some eye-catching products.

November 15th was overcast, windy and cold.

Woke up early in the morning, opened the curtains, Weihai’s main road looked clear under the bluish dawn, with green lawns, square sculptures, and clock towers, brand new and tough, and the sun rose quickly, and the big clock in the square Just pointing to five o'clock, you can already distinguish the scenery a little bit.

I bought a map of Weihai last night. Looking left and right, I didn’t find a place called “End of the Sky”. Only at the end of the land, there is an area shaped like a dragon’s horn, which is our China. The place where the rooster's jaw is on the map is called Chengshantou, but it is quite far away from Weihai City, and there is no relevant introduction text on the map, which makes people suspicious. I asked the waiters at the hotel, but most of them were vague, and it seemed that they knew something was ominous. I went to the station again and saw that the train to Penglai only left at four o'clock in the afternoon. I had planned so hard, but I couldn't make it in time. I had to reluctantly give up, but I always felt a little regretful. Under the vast sky, the last bit of land before the vast sea, How desolate it must be, and how generous and heroic it must be to stand in the wind. Unfortunately, we can't see it this time.

I had to settle for the next best thing. I had to go to Liugong Island anyway, so I paid my bill and walked to the beach. It was extremely cold today. It was already freezing in the room. As soon as I walked out of the door, the fresh wind blew in all directions, sending a chilly chill straight into my neck. Paying attention to the surroundings, there were not many pedestrians, and most of them were wearing winter clothes and walking in a hurry. Then I woke up and realized that today was a working day, and most people had to go to work. Weihai can't escape the stinginess of a small city. Towards Haibin Road, the streets are neither big nor small, and the buildings are neither old nor new. Just like the squares that pretend to be spacious, they all have no characteristics. This also requires the accumulation of history. .

As we walked towards the seaside according to the map, we saw a strong sea breeze swimming freely in Weihai Bay. In windy places, the instigated waves hit the embankment, stirring up fountain-like water curtains and making loud noises. This scene makes people blurt out, "The waves hit the shore and rolled up thousands of piles of snow." ". So I walked forward, found a dry place, and communicated with the wild waves up close. As soon as I calmed down, there was no other sound around. Under the gray clouds, the waves followed the rhythm of the far distance, forming a very rhythmic tide, rolling in line by line, getting louder and faster. , letting out the roar of thousands of troops, rushed towards the embankment, swish, swish, swish, pulling up pieces of water curtains, and then fell into the sea with satisfaction, continuing to wait for the next rise.

The sea breeze reveals its shape due to the surge of the tide, while the seagulls take advantage of the strong wind and fly gracefully on the sea. There were few tourists on the beach, except for an old man nearby, waving a fishing rod and fishing alone in the strong wind. Liugong Island should be the lonely island opposite. However, in the strong wind, there were no ferries coming and going. On the contrary, many large ships from the outer sea were parked in the port in twos and threes to take shelter from the wind. It seems that even the ferries were stopped today. I was too lazy to look for other scenic spots. After lingering beside the waves in the cold wind for more than an hour, I picked up my luggage, said goodbye to Weihaiwei in early winter in a hurry, and headed to Yantai for Penglai. It's half past ten in the morning.

The temperature was even lower along the way. Most of the locals driving along the road wore thick cotton coats. Even sitting in the car with the windows closed, it felt cold from time to time. The trees on the roadside seemed to have lost all their leaves overnight, leaving only branches. The feet of winter have already set foot on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

I arrived in Penglai at about 2:30, made a call to the old captain Yujiale, and then rushed directly to Penglai Pavilion and stored my luggage at the west gate. The conductor said that I would have to come back to pick it up at 4:40. Come on, Penglai Pavilion will close at five o'clock.

Penglai Pavilion is a very famous place. It is not only the starting point of the legendary Eight Immortals crossing the sea, but also the wonder of mirage. Its floating building is known as one of the four famous buildings in China and has always been a tourist attraction. land. In this season, time, and weather, there are very few tourists, but the courtyard is exquisite and scattered, but it is the pure historic site that I have wanted to visit for many years.

The west gate is empty, and the long corridor is quiet and calm. The buildings here have low eyebrows and low eyes. They are simple and have an air of immortality. The courtyard is deep, and the green trees and yellow leaves sway around. It is like a fairy. residence! A gust of wind blew by, rustling all around, and I could faintly hear the waves of the sea, but there was no sign of water. Only the Dragon King Temple stood in front of me. The statues in the temple are very ordinary and not very exquisite, but the temples are intertwined with each other, which is quite interesting. Passing through the side door is the Tianhou Palace. It is said to be a "palace", but in fact it is just a small house. There is an ancient tree in the courtyard with a horizontally curved trunk and lush branches and leaves. It is called "Tanghuai" in history. Legend has it that it was the time when Tieguai Li and Lu Dongbin played chess. I don't know if it is really magical to attract the sun. Even when the yellow leaves of other trees are fading, they are still as green as summer.

Penglai Pavilion is located behind the Tianhou Palace. It is a two-story building with yellow tiles, red columns, and gold characters on a blue background. It is not too tall or ostentatious. Even the stairs leading upstairs are closed at the side door. in. But when I climbed up the stairs nonchalantly and walked around the corridor, I was suddenly shocked. It turned out that there was a sea hidden behind it!

The vastness is approaching. The sky is vast, the waves are roaring, and the strong sea breeze makes people unsteady. A wall like the Great Wall is built facing the sea. The openings of the wall are as high as people's height. At the end, a tower rises, lining up with the sea. It has an ancient style and makes people feel as if they are out of the world. Looking out at the sea in the wind, there is an island lying on the side, called "Changdao". This is the junction of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. However, the sea does not matter how you divide it, it is still rolling and surging, with a carefree spirit of letting the world go its own way. I was stunned for a moment.

The wind above the pavilion is very strong, and it is so cold that it cannot stand for a long time. However, there is a house built in the corner. When people stand inside, not even a breath of wind can blow, so it is called "Wind Shelter Pavilion". Several inscriptions in the middle include the sentence "The sea is calm and the waves are calm". At this time, there are thousands of piles of snow rolling in the waves, and the scenery is very different. There is also a lying stele pavilion, but it is related to Dongpo. Dongpo once knew that after more than ten days in Dengzhou, there was a sentence: "There is no fairyland without immortals, and it is good to write poems in Penglai Pavilion." Among the two stone tablets placed now, one of them records the mirage of Penglai. If you read it carefully, you can see that " "I know in my heart that all I see are illusions, and I dare to trouble the divine work with my ears and eyes." Although it is a self-narration, it also describes the various situations in the world and the many attachments in life.

Turn around and go back to the front hall. In the middle are statues of drunken Eight Immortals, each looking naive. In fact, the Eight Immortals are very common people with humble origins. After becoming immortals, they are not very noble, which makes people uncomfortable. It has a friendly feeling, so even though there are no traces of people here, it doesn't feel eerie or scary. Standing casually by the window in a corner, looking out at the misty waves of the sea, I feel like I have left the world. Looking back at the graceful courtyard, I feel like I want to settle down. If I could stay for a few months and listen to the waves, wouldn't it be a joy in life?

Remember the sentence on Dongpo's stele, "Poetry is due to Du Zimei, writing is due to Han Tuizhi, writing is due to Yan Lugong, painting is due to Wu Daozi, and the world's capable people will be completed." Today I want to add the words As for Su Dongpo, Fei Yi and Penglai Pavilion, they are all the best in the world.

There is a guard on duty in each hall of Penglai Pavilion. Some of them are huddled in a corner. They do not move when people come, but they are often startling. Facing such a divine realm, I'm afraid they have long been tired of it, and we are the only ones who have traveled thousands of miles to come here. This is really like not knowing the true face of Penglai, just because we have lived in this pavilion for a long time. We asked for a night's stay, but they were eager to leave work as soon as possible.

After a long time, the cloudy sky suddenly brightened up. The lovely blue color made Penglai Pavilion look more fresh and spacious. A ray of sunshine came out from behind the clouds, and the clouds were steaming, reflecting on the eaves. The auspicious beasts are lifelike and agile.

Stayed at the Old Captain Yujiale for the night. Their home was luxuriously decorated and they arranged for me to stay in a double room. The guy was very young. He had a good skill and the seafood he cooked was delicious. I ate until 10 o'clock at night. After a little while, I chatted with the old captain. Their family was very enthusiastic and down-to-earth, and I fell into sleep at midnight...

On November 16, Penglai started to play Jiaodong's first game this year A snowfall.

I slept until seven o'clock that day. It was already bright and the wind was still cold and strong. I thought about Penglai Pavilion and hurried to the beach.

The wind on the beach was very strong, and only a few people were walking on the beach. There was a sculpture of the Eight Immortals on the roadside. As long as you took two steps away, you were facing the sea. The sea breeze rushed in your face, and your ears hurt from the cold. . Turning to the west, the world-famous Penglai Immortal Pavilion, which is about to die in the wind, appears in front of us very clearly: Puzhao Tower has a tall tower, surrounded by city walls like wings, and the mountains below are rugged and rocky. It seems that a Lu Dongbin was born in his mind Come, stand on the high tower facing the wind, with your long body erect and your sword tassels fluttering.

The waves are surging, and the endless views here are intoxicating. There is so much smoke as far as the eye can see, and I don’t know where it ends. The Changdao on the opposite side was now covered with a layer of light smoke, looking leisurely and contented in the early morning. At some point, the sky became clearer and bluer. At this time, billowing white clouds rose from the intersection of the sky and the sea and spread along the blue sky. White clouds grow on the sea, and the Eight Immortals are found in Penglai, making people think of Cui Hao's Yellow Crane.

The wind was still very strong. Standing on the Sanshan Gate, I felt like I was about to be blown away by the wind. I liked this experience of wandering in the wind, so I walked down the beach to Penglai Pavilion. A night of sea breeze blew the beach clean. As people walked forward, a line of footprints was clearly left behind. Then when they saw the waves chasing each other, and the sky was shaking, a longing came into my heart. Only then did I feel truly happy. Feel the mood of the Eight Immortals: the white clouds, the waves, and the sound of the waves are all tempting to people. Not to mention the gods, even a common man like me has the urge to devote myself to it.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to walk in small steps, and I have to use transportation to get around, so I had to say goodbye and take a car to Jinan. The weather is getting colder and colder. As the car travels on the highway in Jiaodong Peninsula, it will soon start to snow.

This is the first snowfall this year in the Jiaodong Peninsula. At the beginning, the snowflakes were very small, and there were only white ice flowers hanging on the trees beside the road. Gradually, the sky was covered with silver. world. Thinking of Penglai Pavilion again, I don't know what the scene would be like. If Lu Dongbin was here, I'm afraid he would have to wear a coat. But Lu Dongbin, who was just wearing a bloated cotton-padded jacket, what kind of immortal spirit was he? Ha ha!

Cuddled in the snow, I thought that if I went all the way, I might feel like a prince, but unexpectedly, the snow only fell in Penglai. As the car drove along, the snow gradually turned sunny. The first snow in my life

I met by chance and left in a hurry.
