Penglai Pavilion, where the gods once lived, must be visited in the Year of the Dragon

Penglai Island is a legendary sacred mountain on the sea. For this place name, Penglai in Shandong and Daishan in Zhoushan, Zhejiang have been engaged in a "war of words" for thousands of years, neither side giving in and unable to reach a consensus. So, who is the "Penglai Fairy Mountain"? People in Shandong believe that Qin Shihuang once went to Penglai to supervise Xu Fu's pursuit of immortality, that Emperor Wu of Han built Penglai City during his eastern tour, and that Penglai Pavilion was built in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, they believe that Penglai District in Yantai City is the authentic Penglai. People in Zhejiang believe that Xu Fu is An Qisheng's fellow villager and junior. Xu Fu's voyage to the sea was related to An Qisheng's alchemy in the Zhoushan Islands. "Penglai" was the ancient people's beautification of the mysterious Zhoushan Islands. No matter who the real Penglai Fairy Mountain is, these are all peerless beauties bestowed by nature on mankind. You must visit Penglai Pavilion in the Year of the Dragon. On the rafters of ancient buildings such as Penglai Pavilion, Dragon King Palace, Queen of Heaven Palace, and Sanqing Temple, there are colorful paintings of various dragons. They are vivid and lifelike, as if they are swimming and flying on the beams. The Year of the Dragon is highly compatible with Penglai Pavilion, so you must come to Penglai Pavilion to look for dragons in the Year of the Dragon.
