The beautiful legend of the Whale Fairy is displayed in the Whale Fairy Pavilion with European plastic technology, and the two local pavilions use the most advanced image technology as the display means to reproduce the beautiful scenery of the two islands, the stone sea and the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. Let's take a look at Whale Fairy Hall first.
Daxiong hall-jingxian hall
There is a beautiful and kind whale fairy here.
Gong Liu and Liu Mu have done so many good deeds in their lives that many beautiful legends surround them in later generations, and the story that the whale fairy repaid her kindness is one of the most popular. Ok, this way, please.
According to legend, Liu Min once released a calf. When the whale grew up, one year, Liu Min and Rong Yan were caught in a storm when they went fishing, and the ship hit a rock and sank. It was the whales released by Liu Min that brought them to the coast. In order to repay Liu Min for saving his life and respect Liu Min's character, the whale turned into a beautiful girl to take care of him, which quickly contributed to the centenary marriage between Liu Min and Rong Yan.
Later, the whale girl helped Liu Min build a beacon tower on the island to guide the boat people passing by, and also built many houses to accommodate the boat people passing by.
During the Taihe period in Wei Mingdi, a fishing boat from Jimo was in distress in the waters of Liu Gongdao, and the whale girl and Liu Min struggled to save one boat after another. The rescued boat people were very grateful. They specially cast a big clock as a gift for Mr. and Mrs. Liu Min and sent it to Liu Gongdao. "The fisherman feeds the clock" is such an allusion. Ok, let's keep watching.
Why put the dragon king behind the whale fairy? It is said that at that time, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was ashamed of the charity of the whale fairy for the people and insisted on being the queen of the fairy! In the sixth year of Taihe, Wei Mingdi, Liu Gongdao suffered a once-in-a-century natural disaster, which never rains but pours. Fish on the sea is scarce, it is difficult to catch, and villagers do not have enough to eat. Just when people were desperate, one morning, a whale washed up on the beach and gave its body to the victim. After the villagers were saved, the whale girl was never found again. Only then did people know that this giant whale was the incarnation of the whale girl, and later people honored her as the "whale fairy" In order to commemorate the whale's saving his life, people built an ancestral temple with the remaining fish bones, which was called "Carp Hall" at that time, also known as Enwale Temple.
The showcase displays whale bones used in the construction of the carp house. It is rare that these whale bones have been preserved by local people for thousands of years. This is another treasure of our Expo Park.
This dignified and beautiful girl statue is the whale fairy. On the screen behind the whale fairy, the auspicious patterns carved are "Bless your children", "Have a smooth sailing", "Wish your children success" and "Always be safe". In ancient times, there was a saying, "Worship the whale fairy, and be willing to follow the wishes of everyone in the world."
East China Sea Dragon Palace West Piandian Hall
The Dragon Palace in the East China Sea was built according to the legendary Dragon Palace. It is made of pure natural crystal. Skillful craftsmen make the Dragon Palace both magnificent and mysterious, which makes people feel as if they are there. This is the largest and most difficult crystal work in China at present.
Liu Gongdao was also called Dragon Palace Island in its early years, and said in the center that the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea is just below Liu Gongdao. When the Dragon King built the Dragon Palace, he sent soldiers and crabs to capture eight skilled craftsmen from Mu Ping. When he reached the bottom of the sea, the Dragon King gave each of them a bowl of rice wine. Unexpectedly, these eight craftsmen worked tirelessly for eight years without eating or drinking a bowl of rice wine. Eight years later, the Dragon King repaired the Dragon Palace and gave them many rewards. The four sets of scenes shown here are craftsmen building the Dragon Palace. The ladies in the Dragon Palace are preparing a banquet, and the Dragon King is entertaining the craftsmen and seeing them off. You are free to visit them.
Dongqing temple mirage
According to historical records, three "mirage" scenes near Liu Gongdao were simulated by the most advanced scientific and technological means. These three sea cities are: the earliest, the longest and the latest recorded in Weihai. [The earliest recorded mirage in Weihai occurred in the year of Zheng Deyuan in the Ming Dynasty-that is,1the sixth day of the seventh lunar month in 506. At that time, Weihai was called "Qingquan Mine". Cong Diangeng, an old fisherman living in the southeast of the city, first discovered the wonders of Haicheng and called on the villagers to watch it. This time, the Shanghai market continued a "meal". The largest and longest example of a mirage occurred in the autumn of the 18th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 166 1). At that time, Qixia marched into Wendeng City with seven peasant rebels, and Xu Hongmo, the defender of Ahava, recruited more than 800 young adults to make them brave in the countryside and defend the Acropolis. One day, the villagers were training in the courtyard of the university outside the east gate, when they suddenly saw countless ships with masts and sails coming from the fog on the sea of Ridao. Xiang Yong made a hullabaloo about, suspecting that it was a pirate sneak attack, and quickly raised his sword and prepared for war. However, after a long time, when I saw the ship sailing, I didn't see the ship approaching. It's like a painting on the sea, and all the villagers are amazed. After a period of time, the ship gradually drifted away, but a large group of military forces came to kill it, which was fierce and unstoppable. Xiang Yong was horrified, thinking that the seven demons were coming, and they turned around and scurried away. Even Lord Xu Shoubei decided that the mountain soldiers were coming, and ran back to the city in a panic, never leaving home. The array of soldiers on the sea lasted for half an hour, and the wind rose in the northwest, and the sea fog gradually disappeared, so did all kinds of scenery. Only then did people know that this was a spectacular sea market, which surprised everyone. As a result, a later history book said: "The fire of the sea scene was burning brightly, and 800 soldiers bravely fled, and Xu rested for more than a month." A recent example in the 1980s.
"Mirage" occurred in the 1990s, when the scene was mainly a modern urban landscape, much like Pudong New Area in Shanghai, and the Oriental Pearl Tower was clearly reappeared. Many tourists were lucky enough to witness this scene.
Maeda anvil This building is called Maeda anvil. It is shaped like a coin in the Qin Dynasty, with a dragon playing with pearls on the back, four characters of "Fish is a paradise" engraved in the middle, and five different styles of "fish" in front. The whole building is not only a symbol of promotion and wealth, but also contains the implication of carp yue longmen.

In fact, as you can see, in our Liu Gongdao World Expo Park, there are not only heavy history and culture, but also many high-tech modern landscapes. Look at the huge water harp in front of us. It is the product of modern high-tech, and it is also the third treasure of our Expo Park. The water column ejected from the water harp is the string of this piano, and the water harp with the water column as the string can play beautiful music. Interested tourists may wish to come forward and play a song.
Longjiuzi
In front is the stone statue of "Jiulongzi". In ancient times, there was a saying that "the dragon gave birth to nine children". The dragon gave birth to nine children, but none of them became dragons. They all have their own advantages, and their shapes are very different. People often put them on buildings or utensils to ward off evil spirits. Our Liu Gongdao World Expo Park is a park dominated by ancient buildings, so you can find Jiulong Zi in many places. Interested friends, you can find it later.
