The mystique of Penglai is helped by the large number of mirages, a natural phenomenon that makes distant landscapes seem to appear because of tricks of the light. The mirages and the splendid scenery of Penglai attracts millions of tourists every year.

At the city center of Yantai is the world's first whale shark-themed aquarium and the only aquarium that keeps whale sharks in China.

Visitors will be surprised and amazed that the biggest fish in the world with a huge flat mouth can live harmoniously with other sea creatures and a human diver.

There are all kinds of colorful species, including jellyfish, coral and tropical fish that demonstrate the fairyland beneath the ocean.

Under a 360-degree 3-D movie dome, viewers will feel like they are sitting in a submarine that is traveling through deep-sea canyons surrounded by sea creatures, and escaping from a battle between a giant octopus and a whale.
