I'm really glad I came here! This "immortal" journey is more precious than many other places I've been to.

What impressed me most about Penglai Pavilion was the feeling of being in a "fairyland". Especially standing on the top floor of Penglai Pavilion, facing the vast sea, with a gentle breeze, I really felt like I had traveled into a mythical story. I. Must-see attractions in Penglai Pavilion The Penglai Pavilion complex is built on a mountain by the sea, with a staggered layout. It mainly consists of the main pavilion of Penglai Pavilion, the Tianhou Palace, and the Dragon King Temple. Tickets cost around 100-120 yuan, and the opening hours are generally from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. It is recommended to arrive early to avoid peak hours. The sea breeze in the early morning carries a faint sea mist, as if you can really see a mirage! 1. **Main Pavilion of Penglai Pavilion** This main pavilion is the core building of Penglai Pavilion. It is an ancient and elegant building. Standing on the top floor of the main pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the magnificent Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea. Legend has it that this is where the Eight Immortals crossed the sea. Standing on the pavilion, you can feel the mysterious immortal energy coming towards you. There are also inscriptions and paintings by ancient literati in the pavilion, which are particularly historical. 2. **Tianhou Palace** This is where the sea goddess Mazu is worshipped. The building is simple and grand, and the carvings inside are exquisite. It is especially suitable for friends who like ancient architecture to visit slowly. There are many stories and legends about Mazu in the Tianhou Palace, especially for tourists who are interested in Chinese traditional culture. 3. **Dragon King Temple** The Dragon King Temple is another highlight of Penglai Pavilion. It is dedicated to the sea god Dragon King. It is said that fishermen in the Penglai area often come here to pray for safety at sea and a good harvest. The incense here is very strong. If you are interested in traditional culture, you can also experience China's ancient sacrificial culture here. 4. **Sea cruise experience** There is a small pier near Penglai Pavilion where you can take a cruise out to sea. The boat ticket is around 50 yuan. If you have time, you can choose to go out to sea and feel the refreshing sea breeze. You can also see the whole picture of Penglai Pavilion from afar. Penglai Pavilion from the sea, there is a feeling of "fairy pavilion floating on the sea", it is really super spectacular! II. Food recommendations: Delicious choices near Penglai Pavilion There are many seafood restaurants near Penglai Pavilion. I went to: **Fairyland Seafood Stall** This restaurant is very close to Penglai Pavilion, just a ten-minute walk away. The dishes are very down-to-earth and the prices are very affordable. I ordered the signature dish "Garlic Dragon Lobster". The delicious lobster meat with rich garlic sauce really made me stop eating! Also recommended "Steamed Abalone", simple steamed method, perfectly retains the freshness of the abalone, super tender! III. Precautions: Travel tips 1. **Clothing suggestion:** Penglai Pavilion is built by the sea, and the sea breeze is relatively strong. It is recommended to bring a thin coat even in summer to avoid catching a cold. 2. **Transportation:** Penglai Pavilion is about an hour's drive from Yantai City. It is recommended to drive there. There is a parking lot near the scenic area, but it can be crowded on weekends and holidays. Leaving early in the morning can avoid parking difficulties. 3. **Language communication:** Penglai's local dialect is relatively heavy, but most people can speak Mandarin and are very hospitable. Don't worry about communication problems. 4. **Safety tips:** Penglai Pavilion is built on a mountain, and some places have steep steps. It is recommended to wear a pair of comfortable sports shoes. Also, be careful when approaching the sea, especially when it is windy.
