The legend of the "Flowing Sand Immortal Trail" is incredible! 📖
After the Taoist founder Laozi left Hangu Pass, he actually retired here, wrote the final chapters of the Tao Te Ching, and ultimately transformed and ascended to immortality by entering the sea! Even the poet Wang Wei wrote the lines "On a lone horse I ask the frontier, passing through the vassal state of Juyan" here 🌅
🏡【Recommended Immortal Residences】
📍 Ejina Banner Juyan Sea Leshi Inn (inside the scenic area)
☑️ Closed in winter
☑️ Three types of immortal rooms:
- 🌌 Space Capsule: full of tech vibes
- ⛺ Tent: wild nature experience
- 🏡 Cabin: super close to Viewing Platform No. 3! 10-minute walk to watch the sunrise
⚠️ PS: Staying at the inn includes free admission + electric cart + parking! Totally worth it!
🌅【Stunning Sunrise Guide】
1️⃣ Ask staff in advance for the sunrise time ⏰
2️⃣ Viewing Platform No. 3 has the fewest people! No need to fight for photo spots 📸
3️⃣ At sunrise: sunlight + dancing seagulls = a divine scene 🕊️
(My paws got pecked painfully by seagulls but it was worth it!)
🐦【Seagull Interaction Tips】
Birdwatching pavilion is a must-visit! Suggestions:
✓ Bring bird feed (sold in the scenic area)
