Basic information about Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area. Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area is a scenic spot with Danya Mountain as the center and Penglai Water City and Tianheng Mountain as two wings. It integrates natural scenery and cultural landscape. The scenic area is 10 square kilometers.

In 1982, it was announced as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council. Penglai was the seat of the ancient Dengzhou government office, which governed nine counties and one state. It was the gateway to the east of China at that time. The prestigious Dengzhou Ancient Port was an important foreign trade port and military port in northern China in ancient times. Together with Quanzhou, Mingzhou (Ningbo) and Yangzhou on the southeast coast of my country, it is also known as the four major trading ports in China, and is the best preserved port in my country. An intact ancient naval base. Penglai is surrounded by mountains and sea, so it is also known as "a country famous for its mountains and seas". The scenery of the mountains and waters is unparalleled. The charm of Penglai lies not only in its rich historical and cultural heritage and vast and bold mountain and sea scenery, but also in its beautiful and moving myths and legends. (Among the myths handed down in ancient China, there are two very important systems. One is the Kunlun myth system and the other is the Penglai myth system. The Kunlun myth system originated from the western plateau area. After its magnificent stories spread to the East, Combined with the natural conditions of the vast sea, Penglai has naturally become the origin of Chinese oriental mythology. Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou are both mentioned in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Fengchan Shu". The vivid description of the sacred mountain led King Wei of Qi and King Zhao of Yan to send explorers to the sea to search for the sacred mountain. The first emperor of Qin made an eastward tour in search of medicine, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited immortals in his imperial carriage. According to historical records, sea markets often appear on the sea north of Penglai City. They disperse into gas and gather into shape. They are ethereal and unpredictable. Those good alchemists used the illusion and magic of the sea city to interpret the legend of the Three God Mountains on the sea, vividly depicting a world of gods that the world longed for, adding a bit of charm to Penglai. Later, the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea was added here, making it even more vivid and charming. It is well-deserved to be called "Wonderland on Earth". What we just entered is the "Penglai in the World" square, which is a painted square with four pillars and a single eaves. It has four large gilt characters "Penglai in the World" on the forehead, written by Su Dongpo. The couplets "Magic and spectacular Penglai Pavilion, the majestic Danya Mountain" inscribed by Liu Haisu, a famous calligrapher and painter, and "The steps of Danya Qiongge are carefree, and the mind is leaping in the blue sea fairyland" inscribed by Fei Xinwo are engraved on the inner and outer pillars respectively, indicating this archway. It is the gate to the fairyland, and visitors can take a tour of the gods upon entering. Top Ten Scenes of Penglai Immortal Pavilion in the Sky: Penglai Pavilion is high on the top of Danya Cliff, a blue wave cliff. Whenever the sea fog comes in and wraps around the mountainside, the Immortal Pavilion disappears and appears in the clouds and mist. When visitors climb up to the high pavilion, they feel like they are swaying on the surface of the clouds, but they see the sky and the earth, and they really feel like they are transcending this world. It can be said that the high pavilion is lofty in the sky, and it is a fairyland on earth. The city appears on Mount Kailash: The city appears on Mount Kailash is a mirage. At the turn of spring, summer, and autumn, the density of the atmosphere above the sea is prone to stratification differences. When light passes through air layers of different densities, it undergoes refraction and total reflection, forming various strange scenes on the sea surface, such as mountains and islands changing, or tall buildings protruding; The wonders of mountains and seas, the wonders of heaven and earth. Everyone who witnessed it was captivated. That's why Su Shi said in his poem: "Frost dawns in the lush green hills of the Chonglou, and strange things startled the centenarian." The writer Yang Shuo wrote in his essay "Hai Shi": "The sky is covered with sea fog in spring... Where the sea and the sky meet, the original island disappeared for a while, and mountains that have never been seen before rise across the sea... The mountains are changing all the time. One moment a pagoda appears on the top of the mountain, and another moment appears in the valley. In a city, there were many black spots floating around the city, vaguely like people, horses and vehicles passing by. After a while, the mountains and the city slowly faded away, becoming lighter and fainter. In the blink of an eye, the sky was clear and the sea was blue, and everything was gone... "The three sacred mountains that were deduced from mirages in the past, coupled with the exaggeration of the warlocks, added to the charming color, which led to the story of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han coming here many times and sending people to the sea to visit immortals to seek medicine. .

Following the appearance of two mirages on the sea north of Penglai from 4:00 to 4:30 pm on June 1, 1988 and from 7:00 to 7:30 am on June 14, at 2:20 pm on June 17 At around 7 o'clock, a 6-hour mirage appeared, which was a feast for the eyes of many tourists and local people. In the following years, there have been many wonders of the sea market, making Penglai on earth even more magical and attractive. Lion Cave Smoke and Cloud: Under the cliff behind Penglai Pavilion, there is a natural stone cave, which is 14 meters deep and 2 meters wide, with a huge stone at the entrance. It looks like a lion, hence the name "Lion's Cave". There were 5 immortal stone statues in the cave, so it is also called "Immortal Cave". When it's about to rain, every time mist escapes from the cave and wraps around the Danya mountainside, it creates a wonderful painting that makes people suspect that an immortal is refining elixirs in the cave, so it is called "Smoke and Cloud in Lion Cave". There is a poem from the predecessors that goes: "The strange rocks go back a deep path, and the shady ancient caves receive the sound of the tide. The immortal Dan Zao knows where it is, and he can share the mist and clouds to embrace the green trees." Sunrise with Fusang: Watching the sunrise with Fusang in Penglai Pavilion is a wonderful sight. Great enjoyment. Before sunrise, the eastern horizon was a fiery red. The rising sun broke through the layers of clouds and mist, releasing thousands of rays of rays of light. A rolling red sun held up between Cangbo and the sky. Very magnificent. Shi Runzhang, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, described this in detail: "When the sun first rises, there is a horizontal line, like a square shuttle horn, and the color is deep red, like cinnabar. The flames are like fire, and there are purple curtains floating outside, which cannot be squared." After a while, the red wheel emerged, and the light spread across the garden. It was several feet away from the sea without a finger. It was as big as a mirror and its color was like the moon. "This means that when the sun just rises in the east, a wide line spreads across the sky. Square, angular. It was red, like a flame. It stayed there for a long time. When the red sun came out, it was like a red curtain was drawn on the outside. The glow quickly dissipated. After a while, it left the sea a few feet away. It was as big as a mirror and the color was no longer red. It was like the moon. . There are several versions of fusang. One is the name of the sacred tree in mythology. The "Three Seas Classics" says: There are fusangs on Tanggu (the place where the sun rises). Mentioning fusang must be associated with the place where the sun rises. In the past, poets had " The second is that according to the "Records of Ten Continents", "The fusang tree is thousands of feet long and more than a thousand meters wide. The two branches have the same root and are more dependent on each other, where the sun comes from." An old name for Japan. "The Biography of Dongyi in Southern History" says: "Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of the Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to the direction of Japan." "Liang Shu Biography of Fusang" says: "Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of the Han Dynasty, and it is in the east of China. , its soil has many hibiscus trees, so it is named "Late tide new moon: the sun rises warmly and the moon rises quietly." It is unique to climb the pavilion at clear night and watch the sea and the moon. (The new moon refers to the new moon day, when the moon moves between the earth and the sun and appears and sets at the same time as the sun. The day when the new moon occurs is designated as the first day of each month in the lunar calendar). A crescent moon hangs high in the bright night sky; the silver light flows on the sea surface, making you feel that the sea and sky are boundless. It is indeed a painting and poetry, a worldly realm. Yulianggediao: "Liang" here refers to the rocks in the sea that are high above the water, like jumping rocks. From time to time, there are three or five old men fishing on the rocks. They catch sea creatures, scoop up the water and cook them. The fish and crabs are fresh, and the fish are filled with bottles. They sit on the ground and taste them, enjoying themselves. Singing with great joy, one singing and another, this scene and this emotion are like the world in the Peach Blossom Spring, so it is regarded as a great scenic spot. Wanli Chengbo: When the weather is calm, you can climb up to the pavilion and look at the sea. The vast expanse, the sea and sky are the same color, the ripples are motionless, and you feel relaxed and happy. No wonder the local Yang Shuo saw this scene and praised it as the "Jinger Sea" and said, "The sea can melt people's internal organs." Wash it cleanly. "Wanhuzhuji: "Wanhuzhuji" comes from the ordinary and is born in nature, but it will not be clean if it is not washed, and it will not be pure if it is not refined. Su Shi's preface to a poem says, "Your Excellency Penglai, the stone walls are thousands of feet high; they are battled by the waves, sometimes broken, but over time they are all mature and lovely." This refers to the pebbles on the seashore that have been compared to pearls. Many tourists pick up a few of them and keep them as souvenirs, imitating Dongpo's "I picked up this stone and returned home with the East China Sea in my sleeves" and "Put it in the basin, and the sun faces the sea and mountains." The above eight scenes are from "Xiange Lingkong" There are clusters of brocade flowers at the top of the tree, which are full of uniqueness and interest, creating this intoxicating "Penglai Wonderland" for the world. The remaining two scenes are located in the Xingang Subdistrict Office, thirty miles east of the city. Luotian drips moist: On the seaside, there is a rock called Luotian Rock, which drips water all year round, like rain. Even if there is a severe drought, we will still take care of it. The copper well contains spirits: There is a natural stone well in the sea to the north under Loutian Rock. When a stone is thrown, it makes a sound like knocking copper, so it is called a copper well. The well is in the sea, but the water in the well is sweet, so it is called a copper well. Zhenyang Gate: In ancient times, there were only two city gates in Shuicheng, the water gate in the north and the earth gate in the south, namely Zhenyang Gate, one leading to the sea and the other to the land. The Zhenyang door system is made of bricks and stones, and the door opening is three meters wide. One of the characteristics of Shuicheng is that it has few gates, because Shuicheng is an important military location and there is no need to build more gates for the convenience of defense. There are also few roads in Shuicheng. There are only one north-south trunk road from Zhenyangmen to Pinglangtai and a small road across Xiaohai to Penglai Pavilion. During the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, Shuicheng mainly stationed sailors. The east of the small sea was called Dongying, and the west was called Xiying. They are still called this way today, because the city was a barracks, and the city gate was called Zhenyang Gate to boost the military's power. Zhenyangmen Gate Tower did not exist when Pengcheng was liberated in 1945. Only the city gate hole remains. This was rebuilt in 1985. The three characters "Zhenyangmen" were inscribed by the famous calligrapher and painter Wu Zuoren. According to the "Penglai County Chronicle": "Shuicheng was called Daoyu Village in the Song Dynasty and Beiwa City in the Ming Dynasty. The sea water is introduced into the city through the sluice. The city wall is about two miles long, three feet and five feet high and one foot and one foot wide. The south gate is called Zhenyang Gate. Twenty-six pavilions." The antique building in Zhenyangmen that we see now is the renovated Qi Jiguang's Mansion, also known as the "Shuishi Mansion". It was here that Qi Jiguang commanded the navy to attack Japanese pirates.

At the turn of the century, during the implementation of the strategy of revitalizing the city through tourism, Penglai not only fully utilized the historical sites of Danya Fairy Pavilion, but also developed a number of projects rich in Penglai history and culture such as Tianhengshan Cultural Park, Qi Jiguang's hometown, and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The unique new scenic spots enable tourists to fully appreciate all aspects of Penglai on earth, and personally experience the magnificence of mountains and seas, the wonder of fairyland, the detachment of humanistic spirit, and the purity of folk customs, thus leaving lasting and beautiful memories. In terms of food, Penglai is close to the sea, so naturally there are seafood that everyone wants to eat. In terms of expenses, if you control it yourself, it won’t be too high.
