Yangma Island has a long history. It is said that Emperor Qin Shihuang raised royal horses here during his eastern tour and named it "Royal Horse Island", hence its name. The climate here is pleasant, with clear water and golden sands at the eastern end, which is an excellent bathing place suitable for swimming and playing with water, while the water depth and waves at the western end are small, making it a natural harbor.
There are Tianma Square, Racecourse, Beach, Sea World, Yubiyuan and other entertainment attractions on the island, which is a good place for holiday and sightseeing. Sea cucumber, scallop, abalone, prawn, oyster, swan egg and other seafood are abundant around the island, which is also a paradise for seafood lovers.
2. Changyu Wine Culture Museum
Established in p>1992, located in the courtyard of Changyu Company's former site, it is the first world-class wine museum in China. The museum has a wine culture square, a century-old underground wine cellar, a comprehensive hall, a history hall, a film and television hall and many other halls. The large wine cellar is seven meters deep and was completed in 1913. The cellar is warm in winter and cool in summer, with staggered arches and caves. It was the only underground cellar in Asia at that time, and it was known as the first in the Far East.
3. Three Fairy Mountains
The legendary three Fairy Mountains, Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, are places where the Emperor of Qin and Hanwu look for elixir, so people come here to worship the immortals and pray.
Today's Sanxian Mountain does not need to climb a mountain, but more often swims among graceful southern gardens, beautifully built pavilions and waterside pavilions, and magnificent temples and pavilions. Among them, the world's first jade reclining Buddha weighing 118 tons, the whole jade standing Guanyin weighing 72 tons, and the eleven Guanyin weighing 261 tons are the treasures of scenic spots and towns, which can be called rare treasures.
4. Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area
The place where the Eight Immortals crossed the sea in myths and legends is shaped like a treasure gourd lying on the sea. It consists of nearly 41 landscapes, such as Baxian Square, Baxian Bridge, Wangying Building, Baxian Temple, Huixian Pavilion and Baixiantai.
Maritime gardens, pavilions, jade articles and stone carvings with the theme of the Eight Immortals can be seen everywhere, which is a huge treasure house. It is an ideal place for worshipping immortals and praying for blessings and sightseeing, so Penglai enjoys the reputation of "fairyland on earth and paradise for leisure".
