Penglai is both an ideal place and a place name. During the Warring States period, people imagined that there were immortal islands on the human sea.

In the sixth year of the Jiayou Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty, Dengzhou Zhizhou Zhu met with the extreme peak of Danya Mountain. Envoys from the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago landed at the port of Dengju (around present-day Penglai) on several occasions. The novel and exquisite IP cultural and creative products in the scenic area are favored.
