 "I want to see the moon for a thousand autumns to come, with Pen Lai Island copied here." (Prince Toshihito) |

[The Three Islands of Shen Xian] There are three islands on the pond modelled after the Pen Lai, Ying Zhou, and Fang Zhang, where Shen Xian used to live. When you stand on the shore where Huang He, the Yellow River, flows into Bo Hai and look further to the east, suddenly the islands appear. People believed that they were utopia islands where the wonder medicine of immortality could be obtained. |
