Penglai, Shandong: Guide words for Penglai Pavilion Xiyuan Scenic Area

Now we come to Penglai Pavilion Xiyuan Scenic Area.

Penglai Pavilion Xiyuan is located on Longshou Mountain, two kilometers west of Penglai Pavilion. The peak of Longshou Mountain looks like a dragon's head, and the ridges are winding and undulating, like a dragon soaring. Longshou Mountain is 115 meters above sea level, connected to Xiaotai Mountain in the south and the Bohai Sea in the north. The scenic area covers an area of ??nearly 100 hectares. The entire scenic area is full of lush trees, prosperous flowers and plants, fresh air and chirping birds, making it an ideal vacation spot.

Penglai Pavilion Xiyuan and Penglai Pavilion have no intrinsic connection. The content and characteristics of the scenic spots are completely different. Penglai Pavilion is an ancient ruins full of mythology, but it is an authentic natural landscape. It is connected with the Penglai Pavilion, and its purpose is to allow people to experience the wild beauty of the mountains in the mortal world after passing through the Danya Immortal Pavilion. From the ethereal fairy tales to the real human fireworks, you will feel a transcendent pleasure in the contrast between them. "After being in a cage for a long time, you can return to nature." Even if you come here directly from the busy city, the singing and dancing birds and colorful purples and reds here will clean away the hustle and bustle of the market in your heart. You will feel that in the embrace of nature, you feel the most comfortable and happy.

Valley of Eternal Blossoms: Everyone, please go this way. Going down this stone-step path is a natural mountain canyon called Jinxiu Valley. Jinxiu Valley is 1,600 meters long and 8-16 meters wide. Both sides of the canyon are covered with green trees, lush grass, waterfalls rushing down, and gurgling streams in the forest. Although the forests in the north are very different from those in the south, they also show their own characteristics. Slowly walking along the winding path at the bottom of the valley, carefully watching and savoring every scene and thing around you, you will involuntarily have a poetic artistic conception. The word "Jinxiu" is the finishing touch. Although the small valley is not majestic, it is exquisite and clear. "Every plant and tree is always related to love." The unpolluted mountain flowers are exceptionally bright, and the air filtered by the green shade is fresh and pleasant. Roaming around and admiring the scenery in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms is of great benefit to your mood and your health.

Niaoyu Forest: Here, we take advantage of the mountain terrain to erect a huge net, covering 15,000 square meters of hillside forest area. In this vast space with a height of more than 40 meters and more than 10,000 cubic meters, in addition to ordinary birds, there are also rare birds such as parrots, mynas, white-striped birds, and gray-striped birds. Countless birds of all kinds fly and fly freely here, bringing great pleasure to tourists. Visitors come here for leisure and watch peacocks in full bloom, magpies on branches, parrots copying words, and mandarin ducks playing in the water. They will naturally feel refreshed and relaxed. The hillsides, ravines, trees, flowers and plants here are even more full of life with the melodious singing of birds. The entire scenic spot seems to have a soul of life.

Water Curtain Cave: This landscape borrows the idea from the classic novel "Journey to the West" and adopts the method of artificial water extraction to create a small waterfall. The water curtain drips down and makes a loud sound, which reminds people of the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. These little stone monkeys climbing and playing at the entrance of the cave are vivid and lifelike and very cute. Passing through this sparkling water curtain cave and entering the twists and turns of the deep cave valley, you can see a group of real monkeys jumping around. The mountains in the north lack natural springs, and as a mountain garden, it lacks interest without water as a backdrop. The construction of this artificial waterfall makes up for this shortcoming.

Zoo: The zoo here mainly includes monkeys, day deer, black bears, stone sheep, emus, ostriches, etc. Humans and animals are connected, and we can also say that they are friends of humans. There is a zoo in the scenic spot. With the increasing number of various animals, visitors can not only have fun watching them, but also learn about the diversity of species and their connections, thereby increasing their awareness of the protection of various animals. .

Heifengtai: This is the point of Longshou Mountain. This circular platform made of bluestones is called the Black Wind Tower, and it is actually a beacon tower used for military purposes. In ancient times, in order to prevent foreign invaders from invading by sea, beacon towers were built along the coast. When the enemy was detected, beacon towers were lit to warn the enemy.

"Horse Neck": This hill is shaped like a horse's neck and is commonly known as "Horse Neck". The small pavilion at the top is called Wanghai Pavilion. This is indeed a location overlooking the sea. "It used to be difficult to change the sea." Penglai is accompanied by the sea, and the myths produced by the sea add color to Penglai.

Looking at the sea at any scenic spot in Penglai is different from other places, because the sea here is infused with the connotation of fairy culture, so it has its own personality, adding space for people's imagination, and creating a huge attraction. . It is worth noting that the Bohai Bay, which has a beautiful legend, once had a shocking incident of seawater intrusion. At the end of the last century, a company on Changshan Island uncontrolledly extracted sand from the seabed in nearby waters, causing waves to rush in, causing the beach more than 60 meters wide and the farmland more than 100 meters wide to be swallowed up. In order to curb this destructive behavior, local residents took the incident to legal action and took up legal weapons to defend their rights. This incident is known as "China's first sea erosion case." Near Wanghai Pavilion, people specially carved this important case on the wall, warning people to always remember this bloody lesson. Nature is invincible. Whoever goes against nature will be punished by nature. We humans can only follow the laws of nature and use them scientifically to do things. Otherwise, if we fight against nature, we will only be destroyed by nature.

Fishing Platform: The "T"-shaped dam here was built for tourists to park their boats and fish for treasures. Fishing gear and bait are prepared here for tourists, and guests who like fishing can show off their skills here. This sea area is home to rare fish species such as gargi, sea bream, bream, and black fish. As long as you use the right method and hold the rod patiently, the swimming fish will naturally take the bait. A few hundred meters into the sea by boat, there is a seawater farm where you can pick oysters, abalone, scallops, conches, sea cucumbers and other seafood by yourself. At the same time, there is a full set of cooking utensils on board, so you can do it yourself and process it on the spot. It is indeed a kind of enjoyment to taste the harvest of one's own labor.

Fishermen’s style: It is very pleasant to experience the fisherman’s style at the seaside. The Fisherman Village here provides an excellent place for everyone. In the Fisherman's Village, you can live the life of a fisherman, taste delicious seafood, listen to fishermen's stories, and observe fishermen's folk customs. It has both a sea atmosphere and a local flavor. The simple folk custom of hearing the sound of chickens and dogs and making love to neighbors will definitely leave you with lasting memories.

As the Penglai Pavilion Xiyuan echoes the Penglai Pavilion, its distinctive theme is to return to nature. Because after all, our feelings are in the human world, and the world of gods and immortals is too ethereal. Just as the poet Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty wrote in his poem, "Liu Lang already hates that Pengshan is far away, and it is even more separated by ten thousand layers of Pengshan." Since Pengshan on the sea is out of reach, why not enjoy the beautiful scenery given by nature in this real landscape?
