Xianren Island is a peninsula extending into the sea, surrounded by water on three sides. From a distance, it looks like a rabbit lying on the seashore. It is named after its shape and is also called Rabbit Island. The name of Fairy Island comes from two legends. Everyone has heard the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, right?

According to legend, people from Penglai, Shandong now showed their magical powers and used magic to cross the sea. They were attracted by this peninsula in the vast sea and settled here. Later, they started a contest with the evil forces headed by the Dragon King of the East China Sea and punished them with magic. To eliminate evil and protect the peace of one party. In order to commemorate them, people called this island Fairy Island. This is a legend, and another legend tells that a long time ago, there lived a poor old fisherman on the island. He had a kind and beautiful daughter named Xia Gu. Xiagu's mother died when she was three years old, and father and daughter have been dependent on each other ever since. During the day, her father went out to sea to fish, while she mended nets and collected firewood at home. Whenever night falls, she holds a lantern and climbs to the top of the cliff to guide her father and other fishermen. One stormy night, Xiagu felt anxious and uneasy. She carried a lantern early and climbed to the top of the cliff, patiently waiting for her father's return. However, the old man did not return all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Xiagu found his father's body on the shore and knew that the wind last night broke his father's boat. Xia Gu was devastated by her father's death. At night, thinking about the safety of other fishermen in the village, they relit the lanterns and climbed to the top of the cliff to pilot the ships coming and going. Over time, she turned into a fairy and stationed on the island to protect the safety of fishing boats. People call this island Fairy Island.
