Penglai is a famous cultural city with a long history, located at the northern end of Jiaodong Peninsula, with beautiful scenery and mountains and seas. In the long-term historical evolution, the Oriental Penglai myth corresponding to the Kunlun myth in China has been formed. The spread of the legend of Sanshen Mountain and the rise of the activities of seeking immortals at sea by emperors in previous dynasties established Penglai's position in China's oriental mythology, and made the word "Penglai" synonymous with "fairyland". In the whole land of China, no matter the north and south of the great river, or inside and outside the Great Wall, all the places called fairyland always like to be named after Penglai. In all kinds of literary works, the word "Penglai" with special meaning is frequently used, which fully proves the extensive influence of immortal culture. The most striking thing that distinguishes Penglai from other tourist attractions is that it has its own profound immortal culture. "The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, so it is famous." Penglai's mountain and sea landscape is shape, and immortal culture is soul, which blends with each other, forming the essence of scenic spots and full of infinite charm. It can be said that "fairyland on earth" is a regional business card given to Penglai by history, and Penglai in Guyi is a living fossil of immortal culture.
Basic situation of Penglai Pavilion scenic spot. Penglai Pavilion is a scenic spot with Ya Dan as the center, Penglai Watertown and Hotan Hengshan as the wings, which integrates natural scenery and human landscape. Scenic area 10 square kilometer. The Penglai Pavilion ancient building complex was built in Jiayou six years in the Northern Song Dynasty (106 1 year), and was continuously expanded and rebuilt in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. The whole building complex covers an area of 1.89 million square meters, covering an area of 32,800 square meters. It is divided into six single buildings with more than 65,438+000 rooms. The whole ancient architectural complex is patchwork, temples and gardens complement each other, simple and elegant, and unique, which has become a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad. 1982 was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Penglai, the seat of the ancient state capital, governed nine counties and one state, and was the gateway to eastern China at that time. Dengzhou Ancient Port has a long-standing reputation, and it is an important foreign trade port and military port in ancient northern China. Together with Quanzhou, Mingzhou (Ningbo) and Yangzhou along the southeast coast of China, it is also known as the four major trading ports in China, which is the best preserved ancient naval base in China. Penglai is surrounded by mountains and seas, so it is also known as the "famous country of mountains and seas" in the world, with a unique scenery.
The charm of Penglai lies not only in its heavy historical and cultural accumulation and boundless scenery of mountains and seas, but also in its beautiful and moving myths and legends. There are two very important systems in the myths handed down from ancient China. One is the myth system of Kunlun and the other is the myth system of Penglai. The myth system of Kunlun originated from the western plateau. After its magnificent story spread to the East, it was combined with the vast sea to form the myth system of Penglai. Penglai has naturally become the birthplace of oriental mythology in China. ) Penglai, the abbot and Yingzhou are vividly portrayed in Shan Hai Jing and Feng Chan Shu, which led Qi Weiwang and Yan Zhaowang to send explorers to the sea to seek the sacred mountain, Qin Shihuang traveled eastward to collect herbs, and Emperor Wu visited immortals. According to historical records, there are often sea cities in the north of Penglai, which are scattered into gas and gathered together, illusory and unpredictable. Those who are good at alchemy, with the illusion and magic of Haicheng, interpreted the legend of going to sea on Sansheng Mountain, vividly described a fairy world that the world yearns for, and added a bit of paranormal to Penglai. Later, the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea was added here, which was more vivid and charming, and it was worthy of the name to be called "fairyland on earth". We have just entered the "Penglai on Earth" workshop, which is a painting workshop with four columns and one eaves, and it is inscribed with "Penglai on Earth" by Su Dongpo. Liu Haisu, a famous calligrapher, inscribed couplets on the inner and outer columns respectively as "Qiwei Penglai Pavilion, Magnificent Ya Dan Mountain" and Fei Xinwo's "Ya Dan Qiongge Wandering, Blue Sea and Fairy Leaping", indicating that this archway is the gate of fairyland, and visitors can make a fairy tour when they get started.
Ten scenic spots in Penglai
Xiange volley: Penglai pavilion stands on the top of Dan cliff, a blue cliff. Whenever the sea fog strikes, it wraps around the mountainside layer by layer, and Xiange is swaying among the clouds. Tourists climb high shelves, like swaying in Yun Biao, but when they see that there is no place in the sky, they really feel like they are born out of dust, which can be described as a fairyland on earth.
Shenshancheng: Shenshancheng is a mirage. At the turn of spring and summer, at the turn of summer and autumn, the atmospheric density over the sea surface is prone to layer difference. When the light passes through the air layers with different densities, it will be refracted and totally reflected, and then all kinds of strange scenes will be formed on the sea surface, or mountains and islands will change, or tall buildings will protrude; And time and time, at first glance, are hidden and unpredictable. It is indeed a different scene of mountains and seas, a wonder of heaven and earth. All the witnesses were taken in. Therefore, Su Shi said in his poem, "first frost is a brothel, and strange things are shocking for a hundred years." Writer Yang Shuo wrote in his essay Haicheng: "In spring, the sea is foggy ... I saw the place where the sea meets the sky, and the original island didn't know where to hide for a while. On the sea, there stands a mountain that I have never seen before ... This mountain is constantly changing. A pagoda appears on the top of the mountain for a while, and a city appears in the ravine for a while. There are many black spots moving in the upstream of the city, which are very similar. After a while, the mountain city slowly disappeared, and it became more and more pale. In a blink of an eye, the sky was clear and the sea was blue, and I didn't see anything ... "In those days, the three holy mountains deduced from a mirage, coupled with the hype of the alchemist, added fascinating colors, so there was the story that many dissenting Confucian and Hanwu came here many times and sent people to explore the sea to get medicine.
Following the appearance of two offshore markets in the north of Penglai from 4:00-4:30 p.m. on June 1988 and from 7:00-7:30 a.m. on June 14, there was another 6-hour offshore market from 2:20-7:00 p.m. on June 17, which made many tourists and tourists. Since then, over the years, miracles in the maritime market have appeared many times, making Penglai even more magical and charming.
Lion Cave Smoke Cloud: Under the cliff behind Penglai Pavilion, there is a natural cave, with a depth of 14m and a width of 2m, and a boulder at the entrance. If it looks like a lion, it is named "Lion Cave". There are five statues of old immortals in the cave, so it is also called "Fairy Cave". Whenever it rains, fog escapes from the cave and permeates the air on the mountainside of Ya Dan. It is Miao Danqing, which makes people suspect that immortals are making an alchemy in the cave, so it is called "the smoke in the lion cave". There was a poem by predecessors: "The grotesque rocks trace back all the way, and the ancient caves in the shade of trees are filled with tidal sounds. The fairy danzao knows where it is, and it is a cloud of smoke. "
Sunrise hibiscus: It is a great enjoyment to watch sunrise hibiscus in Penglai Pavilion. Before sunrise, the horizon in the east was red. The rising sun broke through layers of clouds, releasing thousands of rays of sunshine, and a rolling red sun moved between pale waves and the sky. Very magnificent. Shi, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, described this in detail: "At the beginning of a day, a line is vast, and if there is a square shuttle horn, it is dark red, like vermilion. The flame is like fire, and there is a crimson curtain floating outside, so it can't be square. For a long time, the red wheel gushed out like a garden. The glory is gone, and the fingers are several feet away from the sea. It is as big as a mirror and the color is like the moon. " It means that when the eastern sun just rises, it crosses a wide line, then it is square and angular. Red is like a flame, and it has stopped for a long time. The red sun came out, and the outer layer was like a red tent. The glow quickly dispersed and soon left the sea a few feet, like a mirror, not red in color, like the moon.
There are several sayings about Fusang. One is the mythical name of Shenmu, the Three Seas Classic? Overseas East longitude "cloud: There is a hibiscus in Tanggu (where the sun rises), and it is mentioned that hibiscus is bound to be associated with the place where the sun rises. In the past, the poet said, "Mulberry rises from the sun"; Second, according to the "Ten Kingdoms", "Fusang is in the blue sea. This tree is thousands of feet long and over a thousand feet in circumference. These two words have the same root and are more interdependent. " ; The third is the old name for Japan. "Nan Shi? The story of Dongyi says: Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of Dahan, which is equivalent to the Japanese direction. Liang Shu? "Biography of Fusang" said: "Fusang is more than 20,000 miles east of Dahan, and the land is east of China. Its soil is full of hibiscus wood, hence the name. "
Late tide and new moon: the warm moon rises quietly at sunrise. It is interesting to go to the pavilion to watch the sea and enjoy the moon on a clear night (the new moon refers to the new moon, which runs between the earth and the sun and appears at the same time, and the day when the new moon appears is designated as the first day of each month in the summer calendar). A crescent moon, high in the night sky; The silver light flowing on the sea makes the sea and sky endless. It's really picturesque, like a lifetime ago.
Liang Diaoge: "Liang" here refers to the road above the water in the sea, such as a leaping reef. From time to time, there are three or five old people on the reef, hanging fishing rods, grabbing seafood and scooping water for cooking. Fish and crabs are all fresh and full of fish, tasting them on the floor and enjoying themselves. Singing and singing together is as big as the world in the Peach Blossom Garden, so it is regarded as a great scenic spot.
Wan Li, Cheng Bo: When it's calm, you can go to the gazebo to see the sea. Boundless, the sea and the sky are the same, and the ripples do not move. No wonder Shuo Yang, a villager, saw this scene and praised it as a "mirror sea", saying that "the sea can wash people's internal organs clean."
Wan Hu Zhu Ji: "Wan Hu Zhu Ji" is unique, born naturally, without washing or purification. Su Shi has a poetic preface: "Under Penglai Pavilion, the stone wall is thousands of feet; Fighting for waves, sometimes broken, washed for a long time, fully cooked and lovely. " It means comparing the seaside to a pebble with pearls. "Many tourists collect several pieces as souvenirs to show Dongpo's" I picked up this stone with the East China Sea in my sleeve "and" I am in a pot, and the sun is facing the seamount. "
The above eight scenes, held up by the "Xiange volley", are full of flowers and interesting, carving out this intoxicating "Penglai Wonderland" for the world. The other two scenes are in Xingang Sub-district Office, 30 miles east of the city.
Leaky sky and dripping water: At the seaside, there is a rock called Leaky Sky Rock, which keeps dripping all the year round, like rain. Even in severe drought, it still glows.
Copper well contains spirit: there is a natural stone well in the sea to the north of the leaking rock. When the stone falls, it makes a sound similar to knocking on copper, so it is a copper well. The well is in the sea, but the water in the well is sweet, so it contains spirituality.
Zhenyangmen: There were only two gates in ancient Shuicheng, namely, the Watergate in the north and the Tumen in the south, that is, Zhenyangmen, which led to the sea and land. The vibrating door is made of masonry, and the door opening is three meters wide. One of the characteristics of Shuicheng is that there are few gates. Because Shuicheng is a military location, there is no need to set more gates for the convenience of defense. There are few roads in Shuicheng, only a north-south trunk road leading from Zhenyangmen to Pinglangtai and a path leading through the small sea to Penglai Pavilion.
During the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shuicheng mainly stationed sailors. The east of Xiaohai is called Dongying, and the west is called Xiying. It is still called this title. Because the city is a military camp, this gate is called Zhenyangmen to revitalize the relieving.
1945 When Pengcheng was liberated, Zhenyangmen Tower did not exist. Only the city gate hole is left. This was reconstructed by 1985. The word "true Men Yang" was inscribed by the famous painter Wu Zuoren.
According to Penglai County Records, "Shuicheng was a swordfish village in the Song Dynasty and a Japanese city in the Ming Dynasty. Introduce seawater into the city from the sluice. On Tuesday, the city wall was about three feet high and one foot wide. The south gate reads "Zhenyangmen" and has 26 pieces. " The antique building of Zhenyangmen is a reconstructed Qi Jiguang Shuaifu, also called "Navy House". It was here that Qi Jiguang directed the navy to practice and attack the enemy.
At the turn of the century, Penglai not only made full use of the historical sites in Xiange, Ya Dan, but also developed a number of new scenic spots with historical and cultural characteristics of Penglai, such as Tianheng Mountain Cultural Park, Qi Jiguang's hometown, Baxiandu Haikou, etc., so that tourists can fully appreciate all aspects of Penglai in the world, experience the magnificent scenery of mountains and seas, the strangeness of fairy charm, the detachment of humanistic spirit and the purity of folk customs, thus leaving a lasting and beautiful legacy.
In terms of food, Penglai is close to the sea, and naturally there are seafood that people want to eat.
In terms of cost, it won't be too high if you control it yourself.
