• Sanshenshan

  Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou are the Sanshenshan, three island-mountains floating in the eastern sea, each home to immortals and herbs of deathlessness, together forming the legendary destination sought by emperors and alchemists.

• Eight Immortals

  The Eight Immortals crossed the Eastern Sea to reach Penglai, each riding their own magical treasure across the waves rather than traveling by cloud — the famous episode that gave rise to the proverb “each displaying their special powers.”
