According to China folklore, there are three sacred mountains in Bohai Sea. Almost everything on the island is white, just like a fairyland. The palace is made of gold and silver, and there are beads and brazed trees everywhere. The fruit is delicious, and you can live forever after eating it.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, for the sake of long-term stability and personal immortality, he sent messengers here to look for the holy mountain and seek the elixir of life. Standing by the sea, he looked at the sea and saw a red light floating at the end of the sea. He asked the alchemist who was driving with him what it was, and the alchemist replied, "It's Fairy Island."
Qin Shihuang was overjoyed and asked what the name of Xiandao was. The alchemist couldn't answer for a moment when he suddenly saw aquatic plants floating in the sea. He had a brainwave and answered with the name Penglai. This is the origin of Penglai Island.
