Introduction

Penglai (the 'Fairy Island'), in Penglai, Yantai, Shandong, China, borders the Bohai–Yellow Sea confluence and has been synonymous with 'earthly paradise' since antiquity. Famed for mirages and the legends of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and emperors seeking elixirs, Penglai Pavilion crowns the cliff and ranks among China's 'Four Great Towers' with the Yellow Crane, Yueyang and Tengwang pavilions. From it you gaze at the Changshan Islands and vast seas; the Qi Jiguang hometown and the Penglai water castle add historical depth. A coastal wonder of myth, seascape and ancient architecture, it is the source of the 'immortal isles' imagination.
