In order to explore this ‘immortal atmosphere’, this year let us start from the popular legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, embark on a new journey to explore the fairyland coast - Penglai.

It was a beautiful day, and the unexpected encounter with ‘Gemini’ swept away the heat of the dog days. When encountering water mean rich, departure is a good omen for us businessmen. The journey of Guanghua people is always sound, children and adults competing to be the first to show their talents,  and unconsciously arrived in Penglai, came to the first stop of our trip - the Eight Immortals across the sea scenic spot.

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area, also known as the Eight Immortals Ferry and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, is located on the northern Yellow Sea coast of Penglai City, Shandong Province. It faces Dany Mountain, Penglai Pavilion, and Changshan Islands across the sea. It has a tourist area of 55,000 square meters and nearly 40 major attractions. The surrounding sea is vast and the scenery is spectacular. It is a gourd-shaped artificial island built on the sea. For thousands of years, the legend of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the wonders of mirages, the beauty of the blue sea and blue sky, and the magical stories left by the Qin Emperor and Han Wudi's visits to the immortals for medicine have made this place the first choice for worshiping the immortals, praying, and sightseeing. Penglai also enjoys the reputation of "fairyland on earth and leisure paradise".

Walking across the Eight Immortal Bridge, you can see the first memorial archway with nine characters engraved on it: "Eight Immortals Crossing the Seaport" and "Fairyland on Earth". These characters are the handwriting of Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. The characters "Immortal Predestination" on the plaque of the gate of Xianyuan Tower were given by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. Legend has it that when Emperor Taizong of Tang led his army through this place, he encountered the mirage and was amazed, so he wrote down the characters "Immortal Predestination". Climb up to Wangying Tower to see the mountain and sea towers from afar, and Qingfeng Pavilion and Yaochi from a close distance. Walk through the Moon Gate and along the gourd-shaped sea corridor among the trees, flowers, and green shades. The unique landscape of the inner and outer sea waters connected is refreshing. On both sides of the bridge, there are thousands of seagulls foraging and resting all year round, which is quite spectacular.

Penglai is also the hometown of Qi Jiguang, a famous national hero and anti Japanese general in China. Entering the hometown of Qi Jiguang, listening attentively to the magnificent poem of the anti Japanese general Qi Jiguang leading the Qi family army to defeat the Japanese pirates, and feel the hero's patriotism and national spirit of ‘Getting promoted to a higher position or Prince is not my real ambition. My wish is to keep the coastal areas of Ming Dynasty peaceful and clear out the Japanese pirates as soon as possible.’ and ‘Whenever the season of frost and dew is rampant with Japanese invaders, it is especially important to keep your eyes peeled, be alert, and be ready to wait for an order to run into battle!’

The next day, after breakfast, we drove to Peace Cultural Square. The famous Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea sculpture is located here, which close to the sea. Legend has it that this is where the Eight Immortals live. The lifelike sculpture slowly tells the story of the Eight Immortals punishing evil and promoting good, and saving all living beings on the fairy mountain and pavilion of Penglai. To the west of the sculpture is the Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area. From a distance, you can see the winding and undulating walls of Penglai Pavilion connected to the sea and sky, and behind the statue is a vast seashore. Over the sea, flocks of seagulls are flying all over the sky, performing beautiful and amazing pictures. Walking on the beach, the sea breeze is refreshing, accompanied by the drizzle, even if there are troubles, they will disappear.

This is the largest ocean world in Asia and a national AAAA-level scenic spot, which brings together nearly a thousand marine creatures from all over the world, including polar bears, beluga whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals, etc. We watched the mermaid show, dolphin and sea lion show here. Strolling in the mysterious underwater tunnel, surrounded by colorful tropical fish and leisurely swimming sharks, it feels like being in a real underwater world. There is also a science museum here, where you can take the children to know various marine life specimens, watch the purification of seawater, and the magnetic levitation of the earth.
