Location & Accessibility

Hanfei Land sits in Penglai, a coastal city in Shandong Province often called “a paradise on earth” for its stunning ocean views. The park is nestled just 1 kilometer west of Penglai Pavilion, one of China’s most famous historic sites. This makes it easy to combine a visit to Hanfei Land with a trip to the ancient pavilion, which legend says is where elves and immortals once gathered.

To get here, you can:

  • Drive: Penglai is a 90-minute drive from Yantai’s airport, with clear signage guiding you to Hanfei Land.
  • Public transport: Buses from Yantai (lines 烟蓬1号) drop you near Penglai Pavilion, then it’s a short walk west.
  • Taxis: Affordable and convenient, especially if you’re coming from downtown Penglai.

Natural Scenery: A Coastal Wonderland

Hanfei Land shines with its oceanfront location and lush landscapes. Walk along cliffside paths offering endless sea views, or relax in manicured gardens filled with colorful flowers and rock formations. A highlight is the waterfall by the coast, where waves crash against rocks below—perfect for photos! The park’s design blends with nature, so you’ll feel like you’re strolling through a fairytale setting.

Cultural Charm: History Meets Modern Fun

While Penglai Pavilion next door focuses on ancient Chinese legends, Hanfei Land adds a twist with modern attractions. You’ll find traditional-style pavilions with rooftops that mimic those of imperial palaces, but inside, there are interactive exhibits and light shows. Some areas even recreate mythical scenes from Chinese folklore, like bridges arching over “immortal ponds.” It’s a mix of old and new that feels both educational and entertaining.

Family-Friendly Extras

Hanfei Land isn’t just for sightseeing—it’s built for fun. Families love the spacious playgrounds, while foodies can grab snacks at the seaview café or try local seafood dishes at the on-site restaurant. There’s also a gift shop stocked with cute souvenirs, like miniature lanterns shaped like the park’s iconic bridges. If you get tired, rent a bike or electric scooter to explore without walking too much.

Immersive Experiences: More Than Just Photos

What makes Hanfei Land special? It’s designed for interaction. Join guided tours that explain the link between Penglai’s myths and the park’s design. At night, the place transforms with lantern-lit pathways and projection shows on the pavilion walls. Many visitors rave about the peaceful atmosphere, especially compared to busier spots in China. It’s ideal for couples, friends, or anyone who wants to escape into nature without crowds.
