The origin of the name Changdao

In the vast sea, there is a group of gem-like green islands. This is the beautiful archipelago known as the "Fairy Mountain on the Sea" - the Miaodao Islands, also known as Long Island, and the ancient city. Dengzhou (Penglai) faces each other across the sea. According to "Historical Records", Emperors of Qin and Han dynasties traveled tirelessly and stopped to rest their horses on the bank of Danya Mountain in Penglai to look at the fairy mountains in the sea and pray for immortality. This fairy mountain refers to Changdao. A Tang poem once said: "Suddenly I heard that there are fairy mountains on the sea, and the mountains are in the void..." Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once looked at the Changshan Islands and couldn't help but admired: "It's so true." This is the home of gods!" Mythical novels such as "Journey to the West" and "Flowers in the Mirror" even describe this place as an illusory and otherworldly paradise. Emperor Qin and Han Wu believed that one could live forever by landing on this island, so they named it Changdao.
