Scenic spot introduction:
Yuhuangding Park has been known as "Little Penglai" since ancient times. The Yuhuangding in the garden has extraordinary scenery, overlooking the sea. People here feel as if they have entered the dreamy Penglai wonderland. The park was named after the Jade Emperor Temple. When the Jade Emperor Temple was rebuilt in the 19th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty, a scholar suggested that it be renamed Yuhuangding. "Yuxiu Zhongling does not care about treasures, but Huangcong Puyu Mountain shines by itself" is a true portrayal of Yuhuangding Park. The park is shaded by pines and cypresses, and the palaces and pavilions look like a delicate and elegant ink painting.
