On the foggy sea, there are a group of islands as green as jewels. This is the beautiful archipelago known as "Fairy Mountain on the Sea"-miaodao islands, also known as Long Island. Long Island is located in the Bohai Strait between Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula, facing the ancient city of Dengzhou (Penglai) across the sea. According to Records of the Historian, both Qin Huang and Wu Han had made unremitting stops and rests at Ya Dan Mountain in Penglai. This fairy mountain refers to Long Island. Ceng Yun, a Tang poet, said, "Then he heard a magical island on the sea, and the mountain was in nothingness ..." Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once looked at the Changshan Islands and could not help but exclaim: "Real immortals live here!" The Journey to the West's Fairy Tales such as "The Flower in the Mirror" describe this place as an illusory paradise.
Coming to Long Island to face many islands is like facing a beautiful three-dimensional picture. An island has its wonders and a scene has its beauty. Here, all kinds of strange reefs and rocks formed by marine erosion landforms are simple and quiet, exquisite and exquisite, each with its own charm. Some people suddenly get together and are called the Stone Forest on the Sea. Some people stand alone like a girl, looking forward to going home like a young woman, looking at the sea thoughtfully like an old monk, and flying into the clouds like a sword ... such as the majestic Jiuzhang Cliff, the majestic Baota Reef, the beautiful sister peak, the infatuation of Wangfu Stone, and the depth of Luohan Reef ... are all similar and amazing. Beach scenery: Half Moon Bay is like a bright moon lying in the bay. On the beach, beaded stones are piled up into a colored stone belt with a length of more than 2000 meters and a width of more than 50 meters. Beaded stones are as white as jade, some are as red as agate, some are as bright as jade, and some are as bright as pearls, bringing tourists into a world of jewelry and color.
Miaodao islands has picturesque mountains and rivers, and each island has its own magic. Cheyou Island, also known as Wanniao Island, is a kingdom of birds, and Qi Fei, a hundred birds, covers the sky and is spectacular. Big and small Zhushan Island is named after bamboo, with gurgling rivers and lush bamboos, showing a beautiful Jiangnan scenery on the misty sea. The Great Black Mountain Island is also the kingdom of snakes. There are more than 10,000 poisonous snakes on the island, making it the second largest snake island in China. On the other hand, the rocky island is a world of stones, full of colorful stones, which are exquisite. Against the backdrop of colorful stones, the whole island has become a world of murals with changeable patterns and colorful colors. The rock bonsai and the platform named "Golden Star Snow Wave Stone" make tourists fondle it. The magnificent hall of Temple Island Tianhou Palace is for visitors to watch and worship. Jade Street stretches across the blue sea, connecting the north and south Changshan islands, Fengshan and carved eagle soar in the sky, and birds gather together. There are many cultural relics in the ruins of the ancient city, and the Maritime Museum records the vicissitudes of China's maritime history ... The most fascinating and rare sight is an illusory mirage. According to the data, Long Island is the area with the highest frequency of mirage in China, especially in July and August. Too many indescribable landscapes make Miaodao Islands worthy of the reputation of "Fairy Mountain on the Sea".
Penglai Pavilion is located on the Ya Dan in the northwest of Penglai City, with an area of 32,800 square meters. Penglai Pavilion includes buildings composed of Sanqing Hall, Lvzu Hall, Sugong Temple, Tianhou Palace, Dragon Palace, Penglai Pavilion and Mituo Temple, which are collectively called Penglai Pavilion. Since Song Jiayu's rule, every dynasty has been expanded and rebuilt. The historical story of Qin Shihuang's visit to the immortals to save medicine and the myth and legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea endowed Penglai Pavilion with mysterious color, so it has been called "fairyland" since ancient times.
The main building of Penglai Pavilion was built in the sixth year of Song Jiayu (A.D. 106 1). It is located at the top of Ya Dan, with the attic 15m high and north-south direction. This is a two-story wooden building, surrounded by Amin Gallery, which provides a panoramic view for tourists. This is the best place to enjoy the strange landscape of a mirage. In the pavilion, there are three magnificent Chinese characters "Penglai Pavilion" inscribed by Tie Bao, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty, and poems inscribed by famous artists are hung on the east and west walls.

Penglai Pavilion has been an elegant gathering place for celebrities and bachelors since ancient times. Among the pavilions, halls, corridors and walls, couplets, inscriptions, stone tables and broken cymbals can be seen everywhere, and calligraphy is flowing, which adds a lot of color to Xiange. There is often a "mirage" spectacle in front of Penglai Pavilion, and Su Dongpo's "the clouds and seas in the East are empty, and many immortals are too late to come out." The poem "How can there be a palace where pearls are pampered?" is a vivid description of the wonder of "a mirage".
Under Penglai Pavilion, there is a Penglai Water City. Watertown is built along the cliff of Ya Dan to the south, which is one of the existing ancient naval bases in China, also known as Beiwo City.
