On June 29, the celebration of the 27th Anniversary of Hong
Kong's return to the motherland, organized by the Hong Kong
Celebrations Association, was launched at Victoria Park in
Hong Kong. As a significant part of this event, the Yantai
exhibition themed "Enchanted Coast, Discover
Yantai" was grandly unveiled at the park by focusing
on the myth of the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" and
showcasing Yantai's natural scenery and cultural history.
The exhibition, held by the Information Office of
Yantai Municipal People's Government, featured a huge
scroll at the center, narrating the legend of the Eight Immortals
Crossing the Sea, and depicting vivid characters of the eight
immortals like Chan Kaolao, Lyu Dongbin, Ho
Hsien-ku, Lan Ts'ai-ho, and Iron Crutch Li. Visitors could step
through the scroll to learn about the stories of the Eight
Immortals and experience the cultural heritage of classic
legends.
The legend of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea has had a
profound influence on Chinese culture, providing rich material
for folk cultural and artistic creations and gradually
gaining recognition worldwide. It was included in the
national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008.
The exhibition also featured displays of famous Yantai
landmarks such as Three Immortals Mountain, Chang Island, and
Penglai Pavilion. Interactive experiences such as stamping at these
locations actively engaged Hong Kong citizens, enhancing the
enjoyment and interactivity of their visit.
