took the boat ride and visited the site. Boat ride was just a 30 minute ride- nothing special. The special part was visiting the site with the statue of the Emperor. Nice grounds, a lot to see, and some really good prices for buying souvenirs. Can easily spend 2-4 hours here.

Wishing to be immortal after acquiring the throne in ancient China,Emperor Qin Shi Huang tried to assign Xufu with thousands of lads to a distant paradise in the sea where Qin thought the immortals lived with the hope of getting a miraculous medicine helping him not to die forever. This site is the place to start the journey. Xufu's group finally reached then called Paradise, now Japan, and did not return to China because of his failure to find the medicine needed by Qin. A lighthouse and many statues, buildings, temples, parks are available for the visitors to look around. Even sightseeing boats at the seashore can take the tourists to experience a short trip.
