Tour guide to Yantai, Weihai and Penglai?

Dear friends, we are about to arrive at Penglai, known as the "Wonderland on Earth". Here, Xiaowu will give you an overview of Penglai. Penglai is located at the northernmost tip of the Jiaodong Peninsula, about 75 kilometers northwest of Yantai City. It belongs to Yantai, is bounded by the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea to the north, and faces the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea. The total area of ??the city 1,128 square kilometers and a total population of 447,000. But such a county-level city with a total population of less than 500,000 can indeed receive more than 2 million tourists from home and abroad every year. What makes Chinese and foreign tourists come in droves from thousands of miles away? That's because Penglai is a "fairyland on earth" full of myths and legends that has fascinated people for thousands of years. Why is Penglai called "Wonderland on Earth"? There are two reasons;

Everyone has heard of the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". Where did this story happen? Yes, it happened here. According to legend, the Eight Immortals gathered at the Penglai Pavilion to drink. The more they drank, the happier they became and unknowingly got drunk. Tieguai Li proposed to take a trip to the sea to take advantage of the pleasure, and said that he must cross the sea with his own treasures and not take a boat. As the saying goes, "Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing his magical powers." Tieguai Li used his precious gourd, Han Zhongli used his banana fan, Lu Dongbin used his sword, He Xiangu used lotus, Orchid used his flower basket, Han Xiangzi used Xiao, Cao Guojiu used They used the guard in their hands, while Zhang Guolao and his donkey used the sheng. Everyone knows that Zhang Guolao has a quirk. He usually rides a donkey backwards and can travel thousands of miles a day. Of course, this donkey is also a "magic donkey". It is said that when not riding, he can fold it up and put it in a leather bag. . There is also a poem to explain this move, "How many people in the world are like this old man, who is not riding a donkey backwards and looking back at everything." I came to teach people to always look back when doing things, so as to sum up experience. As the saying goes, if the mountain is not high, there will be immortals, and if the water is not deep, there will be dragons. The small town of Penglai is destined to the eight gods.

Another reason for Penglai is related to "mirage". According to legend, a long time ago, some strange images often appeared in the Bohai Sea. At that time, people could not explain this phenomenon with scientific methods. At first, they thought it was a monster, and they said it was the breath exhaled by a clam spirit in the sea, and called the clam "..." The "mirage" was very scared, and they burned incense and kowtowed, praying that the "mirage" would not harm the human world. Over time, people discovered that the "mirage" did not harm humans, and they described it as a sacred mountain. Legend has it that there is a fairy mountain in the sea, and the houses on the mountain are made of gold and silver. The trees are full of jade and agate, and there are immortals walking back and forth. The most important thing is that there is an elixir of life on the mountain. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, in order to ensure the eternal stability of the Qin Dynasty and personal immortality, he came here to look for the sacred mountain and the elixir of immortality. He stood on the beach and looked at the sea. He saw three unusual mountains at the end of the sea and sky, which were still changing. In fact, he just caught up with a mirage at that time. He was surprised and asked the alchemist who was accompanying him what they were. The alchemist replied: "That's the Fairy Mountain." Qin Shihuang was overjoyed and asked what the Fairy Mountain was called. The alchemist said that one was called "Yingzhou" because the first emperor of Qin also called Qin "Yingzheng", and the other was called "Abbott". The other one was unable to answer for a while. Suddenly he saw water plants floating in the sea, and he had an idea and named it "Penglai". answer. "Peng Lai" means "Peng Cao Hao Lai". In this way, the three sacred mountains "Penglai", "Abbott" and "Yingzhou" spread.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived in Penglai, he, like Qin Shihuang, heard that there were three fairy mountains in the sea, and he also came here to look for the elixir of immortality. In order to find the fairy mountain, he built a small town here. He lived here for a long time and climbed Danya Mountain every day to look at the sea. However, he was not as lucky as Qin Shihuang. He did not see the mirage and did not find the elixir of immortality. So he ordered the small town he built by the sea to look at the sacred mountain to be named Penglai for comfort. From then on, this small town was called Penglai.

In fact, both the emperors of Qin and Han, and ordinary people, all traveled thousands of miles to Penglai to visit the fairyland and search for fairy medicine. They all hoped to be as free and immortal as the fairy. Calling Penglai a "wonderland" is actually a mirage. In fact, mirage is an atmospheric optical phenomenon, which is the refraction or reflection of light when it passes through media with different densities. As the medium atmosphere, its density is not exactly the same, and usually changes with the change of temperature. The higher the temperature, the smaller the density, and the lower the temperature, the higher the density. Penglai Sea City generally appears in spring and summer, when there is fog in the sea and a one to two-level southeasterly wind. When these conditions are met, it is best to have the best viewing angle to see it. Why do sea markets often appear in Penglai? This is related to its geographical location. Penglai is located on the dividing line between the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and the temperature in the Bohai Sea is relatively low, especially at the turn of spring, summer, and autumn. The sea surface temperature is easily lower than the upper air temperature, which creates a situation where the lower air density is greater than the upper air density. Temperature inversion phenomenon.

Dear tourists:

Hello everyone, welcome to the beautiful port city - Yantai. Yantai City is located in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula, bordering the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, facing Japan and the Korean Peninsula across the sea. It is one of the first batch of coastal open cities in my country. It is an international port city, shopping mall, and tourism city in the Bohai Rim Economic Circle and East Asia. city, and because of its important transit role in Shandong, this city has received many tourists from all over the world. When you come to Shandong, please first familiarize yourself with the distribution location of each city. Please come with me and draw a cross first, up, north, south, left, west, right, east. Dalian is in the upper north, Qingdao is in the lower south, Penglai, a county-level city in Yantai, is to the west on the left, and Weihai is to the east on the right, which was also a county of Yantai in the past; and where is Yantai? It is at the intersection of this cross. Now Everyone understands the location of these coastal cities. Except for Dalian, which is in Liaoning Province, our three cities are called Jiaodong Peninsula because they are east of the Jiaolai River. Now you understand what Jiaodong Peninsula tour means? The Jiaodong Peninsula is also the city with the best environment in the entire Shandong Province. We will slowly find out when the time comes.

The place we are going to visit is Yantai, known as the "Gold Coast, Wonderland on Earth". The ancients said: "The wise enjoy the mountains, and the benevolent enjoy the water." Yantai's mountains and rivers are harmonious and magnificent, so when you visit here, you can enjoy the fun of the benevolent and the wise.

Yantai is located in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula and borders the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. It has a total area of ??13,700 square kilometers and a total population of 6.3 million people. It is surrounded by sea on three sides and connected to land on one side. The annual average temperature is 12 degrees Celsius, with neither severe cold nor scorching heat. Yantai's superior geographical location and good coastal scenery make it a good health resort.

Yantai has jurisdiction over five districts: Zhifu, Laishan, Fushan, Muping, Economic and Technological Development Zone, seven counties: Haiyang, Qixia, Penglai, Zhaoyuan, Longkou, Laizhou and Laiyang, and one county on Changdao.

Yantai has a very long history. According to research, people lived here as early as more than 10,000 years ago. Yantai was called Zhifu in ancient times, and Zhifu Island, the largest land-connected island in my country, is here. Viewed from a high place, Zhifu Island looks like a Ganoderma lucidum inserted deep into the sea. Perhaps it was because of this that Qin Shihuang believed the words of the alchemists and took the trouble to visit it in person many times. Search for the elixir of immortality. The word "罘" in Zhifu has the word "四" above it and the word "不" below it. Our friends in Shanghai may be familiar with this word because there is Zhifu Road in Shanghai. This knot is also related to Qin Shihuang's search for the elixir of youth.

According to legend, Qin Shihuang began to patrol the east after he conquered the world. He came here three times but failed to find the elixir of immortality, so he said: "The fourth time, I will never come again." Sure enough, it was true. On the third time, On his way back, he died. This is the origin of the word "罘".

Maybe you will ask: "Why is it called Yantai?" This starts from the past. Yantai is a zone along the sea, so it was often invaded by outsiders in the past. It has been an important coastal defense area since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, in A wolf smoke pier was built on the mountain road near the sea for alarm purposes. The wolf smoke pier is very unique because it burns a mixture of wolf dung, sulfur and nitric acid. You may be wondering, isn’t pig manure or horse manure acceptable? This really makes sense, because the difference between wolf smoke and other smoke is that other smoke will disperse quickly when it rises into the sky, but wolf smoke will not disperse, so once a pirate invades, light the wolf dung and the wolf smoke will appear. It reminded people to defend quickly. Later, the mountain was called Yantai Mountain, and Yantai got its name from this.

The older generation of Yantai people all know that Yantai has another name called Qishan. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, learned from the lessons of the previous two dynasties and attached great importance to mountain defense. Although he When he was in power, the world was peaceful, but he always paid attention to the border defense fortresses and constantly sent people to inspect the coastal defenses. At that time, he sent Xu Guogong to Yanhai area to inspect. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Xu Guogong's opinions and built it here in the 31st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty." "Qishan Defense Station for Thousand Households", Qishan Defense Station for Thousand Households later became one of the important military locations in the Ming Dynasty. This is why Yantai is called Qishan.

Yantai is rich in natural resources, and its gold reserves account for 1/4 of the country's total. Zhaoyuan City, Laiyang City, and Penglai City have produced more than 1 million taels of gold for many years. Yantai is truly a major manufacturing city.

Yantai’s coastline is 909 kilometers long and is naturally rich in seafood, including more than 70 varieties of abalone, prawns, and scallops. Here I introduce the two most distinctive ones. Yantai abalone. Abalone is single-sided and the shell is shaped like an ear, commonly known as "right ear". The meat is delicious and has been a palace offering since the Han Dynasty. Abalone shells can treat cataracts and grinding them into powder can eliminate phlegm. Yantai abalone can be used with Mexican abalone is comparable and enjoys a certain reputation in the world. In addition, Yantai prawns are very delicious. The meat is not only tender but also highly nutritious. The prawns caught in September every year are called colorful prawns. They are not only delicious but also graceful and graceful, and are known as the "Princess Prawns".

Yantai has fertile soil, sufficient rainfall, and a good climate, so it is very suitable for the growth of fruits. Everyone must be aware of Yantai apples and Laiyang pears. Yantai apples were cultivated as early as the Ming Dynasty. They are named after their large size, crispy and delicious taste. It is said that the aroma of Yantai apples can soothe the mind and induce sleep. If you have friends who have insomnia at night, you might as well put a Yantai apple in front of your bed, it will make you have a sweet dream. Laiyang pear also has a long history, with a history of more than 400 years. It has thin skin and high water content, and has the effect of clearing the lungs and reducing phlegm. Laiyang pear is also exported abroad. It is exported to Japan, Canada and other countries. And the dried pears and preserved pears made with it are even more amazing.

In terms of economy, it is one of the 14 open coastal cities in China. Yantai is a port city. It opened a commercial port in 1861 and is one of the important ports for foreign trade. It is still an important transit point for Shandong's waterways. stand. Yantai has developed rapidly in recent years and has been ranked among the 50 cities with the best investment environment in the country, among the top 50 cities in the country in comprehensive strength, and as a national-level health city.

The opening of foreign trade ports has promoted economic development and also promoted the development of national industry. When talking about Yantai’s local characteristics, you must think of Changyu wine. Changyu Wine was founded by the patriotic overseas Chinese Zhang Bishi in 1892. It was the first industrialized winery in my country. At that time, Mr. Zhang Bishi was invited by the Qing government to inspect Yantai. He found that the climate in Yantai is very suitable for growing and making wine. He invested 3 million taels of silver to start Changyu Wine, which was the largest wine company in China and even Asia at the time. Changyu Wine won four gold medals at the Panama Pacific Expo in 1915. In 1952, Premier Zhou Enlai attended the Geneva Conference They used Changyu wine to entertain representatives from various countries. Now Changyu wine is not only famous domestically, but also exported to foreign countries. It is the pride of China's national industry.

Yantai is not only proud of Changyu Wine, but also has impressive economic development. In October 1984, the Yantai Development Zone was established with the approval of the State Council of China. It is one of the first 14 national-level development zones in China. Up to now, more than 200 companies from 30 countries and regions have successively invested in Yantai Development Zone, including 22 of the world's top 500 companies such as DuPont of the United States, Henkel of Germany, Denso of Japan, and LG of South Korea. Yantai Development Zone has formed six pillar industries: automotive machinery, electronic information, chemical fiber textiles, food processing, fine chemicals and biopharmaceuticals. It is China's largest auto parts production base, excavator production base, electronic stencil production base, spandex Silk production base and one of the most important third-generation mobile communication product production bases in China. The GDP of Yantai Development Zone ranks among the top ten of China's 49 national economic and technological development zones. From this we can see that Yantai's development prospects will be even broader.

Well, now I will introduce you to the general introduction of Yantai. I hope you all have a pleasant visit in Yantai.

There is a beautiful legend about the origin of Yuelao. It is said that there was a young man named Wei Gu in the Tang Dynasty. One day he went out for an outing and came to the Song Dynasty. He stayed in a hotel in the south of the city that night. In the evening, Wei Gu took a moonlight walk and came to the back garden. He saw an old man carrying a brocade bag and reading under the moonlight. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked what book he was reading. The old man smiled and said: "Wedding certificate". Wei Gu thought: "The Marriage Letter" must be a book recording human marriages. Seeing that the brocade bag was bulging and glowing red, he asked what was in it. The old man smiled and said: "The red rope is also." Wei Gu asked again: What is the use of the red rope? The old man took out a red rope from his bag, waved it in the air, and saw a red light circle around Wei Gu's feet, and then headed north. The old man told Wei Gu that this rope was used to tie the couple's feet. Even if they were enemies, were separated by poverty and poverty, and were in a foreign land, the rope would make them harmonious and could never be violated. Wei Gu saw that his marriage had been decided and quickly asked him who he would marry. The old man replied: "She is the daughter of an old woman who sells vegetables in the north of the store." After saying that, he disappeared. The next day, Wei Gu got up early to wash up and dress up. He quickly found the old woman selling vegetables in the north of the store and asked specifically about his daughter. What he saw was a three-year-old girl with unkempt hair, sallow complexion, and ugly appearance.

Unable to control his anger, he drew his sword and stabbed the girl in shock. The old woman shouted, and Wei Gu abandoned his sword and ran away. More than ten years later, Wei Gu became a military general and married Xiangniang, the daughter of Wang Tai, the governor of Xiangzhou. On the night of the wedding, Wei Gu uncovered Xiang Niang's red headband and saw that his wife was extremely beautiful. He saw a small flower cut from red paper between her eyebrows and asked why. After listening to Xiang Niang's narration, I found out that Xiang Niang was the daughter of an old woman who sold vegetables in those days. The husband and wife are like waking up from a dream, and their love for each other has increased since then. Their descendants are full of children, and they will grow old together until the end. From then on, people worshiped "Old Man under the Moon" as the god of marriage.
