When you step onto the platform and face the endless sea, you will suddenly feel that the sky is vast and your mind will suddenly open up.

The waves are surging here all year round. Even if the wind is calm, the waves are rolling at the end of the mountain, the vortex is turning, and the sound of the waves fills your ears.
When the main current of the east wind or the west wind flows eastward in opposite directions, the waves from the Yellow Sea in the east surge to the west, and the waves from the Bohai Sea in the west rush eastward. The two waves hit each other, and the water is surging, with the potential for thousands of armies to confront each other; when the wind When the east wind flows eastward or the west wind flows in opposite directions, the waves on both sides are swaying, forming an "S" shaped wind trace that is particularly spectacular. From a distance, it looks like a dragon playing in the water, or like a sand gull dancing gracefully. Walking among it, you can feel To the pride of stepping into two oceans with one foot.
Zigzagging down the rocky path is the Ring of Sea Road. On both sides of the road, one is the blue sea and the other is green trees and cliffs, full of infinite youthful vitality. A pair of mandarin duck stones in the sea, leaning against each other, whispering. There is a Yuanyang Cave on the shore, which is deep and quiet.

The so-called "Sea to Sky Ladder" is a 369-step climb from the tide mark on the seashore to the top of the cliff. 3, 6, and 9 have the implication that everything will go smoothly.

At dusk, the bright moon is in the sky, the mist is light, and the shadows of the trees are whirling, as if there are fairies from the Moon Palace dancing. Neck Pianpian.
Cha Shou Stone: It is a square white marble stone. Legend has it that the gods who live in the fairyland love to gather around this big stone in their free time, use the holy water of the "Yaochi" under the fairy bridge to soak the "fairy tea" collected from the fairy mountain, drink tea, and play chess. Therefore, this big stone is also stained with immortal energy. Touching it can eliminate disasters, extend happiness and increase longevity.
Shengui Bay: When Pangu created the world, the five mountains on the east side of the Bohai Sea had unstable foundations and drifted with the waves all day long. Most of the creatures on the island could not survive, so the Jade Emperor sent fifteen people to carry them to the temple. The lower realm of the divine turtles stabilized the mountain. After receiving the imperial decree, the divine turtles carried the sacred mountain all day long on the Bohai Sea, finally stabilizing it. After the fifteen divine turtles completed their mission, they received the emperor's permission to choose the source of the fairyland to live, and over time they turned into stone turtles.
Jinchan Cave: Close to the seaside where the fairyland comes from, the jade spring in the cave is gurgling, clear and sweet. According to legend, there was a golden toad practicing here in ancient times.
Dragon Girl Bonsai Reef and Seal Reef: The Dragon King chose the beautiful stones in the sea to make a bonsai as a dowry for his daughter. The Dragon Girl placed it on the blue sea of ??the fairyland source and sent a seal to guard it.
Shougui Palace: In the "Shougui Palace" corresponding to the Divine Turtle Bay, there is a "divine turtle" swimming from the depths of the sea. Perhaps it was attracted by the fairy mountains and fairy waters here. I am so obsessed with it that I don't want to leave and sleep here forever.
In addition, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty passed by Changdao during his eastern expedition and stationed camp here. However, the island was desolate and poor in water. It became a problem for the soldiers to draw water. Everyone dug wells everywhere to find water, but the water was bitter and salty and difficult to swallow. , the sergeant had no choice but to report to Taizong. Taizong was very interested in visiting this place. When he heard the report, he raised his head and laughed, "Why panic about such a trivial matter!" Then he drew his sword and slashed at a huge rock on the seaside. Hearing a loud bang, the soldiers They all shouted "Shenquan". Later generations remembered the "sword splitting stone" and the sacred spring "Tangwangjing", which became a household name. The magical spring water lasts for a long time. Although the spring water is not below the sea water line, even if the sea water and sand and gravel submerge the spring water at high tide, the water quality is still clear and sweet at low tide. The locals call it "Faucet Fortune Spring" and regard it as a treasure. Every year on the second day of the second lunar month, during the folk "Dragon Head Heading" festival, everyone gathers here to hold a grand dragon head incense gathering to attract dragons to pray for blessings and bless the fishermen.
