Abalone Island: Abalone Island, as the name suggests, is named after its abundant abalone. It sounds like a fat and rich island.

Ji Xiaolan, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, wrote about Eight Immortals Dunes: "On the steep wall in the east, you will feel suddenly when you climb up. Whales blow the waves, and gulls break through the smoke. . There is really no place beyond your feet, and there is no sky in your eyes. Whoever comes to this place should be talking about this place.
Fu Ao: The dragon gave birth to nine sons, all of whom were different, and Ao was one of them. The Fuao here is a group of rocks shaped like a giant turtle. Legend has it that the entire Laoshan Mountain is the incarnation of a giant turtle. The giant turtle looms here, ensuring that the people have good weather and good harvests. This is also the reason why Laoshan is also called "Aoshan".
Frog Stone: Frog Stone, like Fuao, is a pictographic stone, so named because it looks like a frog. The frog originally lived in the Moon Palace (the moon was called "Moon Palace" in ancient times). Because he violated the royal laws in the Moon Palace, he was demoted to the mortal world by Chang'e, where he was allowed to use his toad venom to prepare medicines for treating diseases. In desperation, it had no choice but to stare up at the Moon Palace all day long, hoping that Chang'e would show mercy and call it back to the palace. There is also a legend that because the dragon kings of the four seas fought in the past, the dragon king of the east sea defeated the dragon king of the south sea and punished him to turn into a frog to guard the sea.
