Perched on the Danya Mountain of southwestern Penglai County, the Penglai Pavilion occupies 3.38 hectares, and is shaded with green pines and verdant cypresses. Near to the sea, it is always shrouded by the cloud and mist, and thus the pavilion is called the fairyland on earth. Moreover, the legend and myth of the First Emperor of Qin searching for immortals and elixir as well as the eight immortals crossing the sea increase much mystery for the pavilion.
Built during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Penglai Pavilion has existed for over nine hundred years. In the following dynasty since its debut, the pavilion had been enlarged and repaired to reach the current state. As a magnificent architectural complex of temple and gardens, the pavilion consists of some palaces, halls and temples. When climbing it, if you are lucky, you may watch the wonderful mirage.
