Having long been known as a fairyland, Penglai is one of the three supernatural mountains inhabited by immortals. The other two are Yingzhou and Fangzhang, which were frequently visited for wonder herbs by emperors since Qin and Han dynasties.
The famous legend of "Eight immortals crossing the sea" finds its origin here.
The landscaped Penglai Pavilion is seated on the hill of Mt.Danya making it entirely appropriate for a seafront pavilion. It is a large-scale ancient architecture cluster comprised of Penglai Pavilion, Tianhou Palace, Longwu Palace, Luzu Temple, Sanqing Temple and Mituo Temple.
