Donghai Xianjing (Xianren Well)
东海仙境
A sea-eroded coastal scenic area at the southern foot of Wangye Mountain on Pingtan's east coast. The bottom of Xianren Well, nearly 50 meters across and over 40 meters deep, connects with the ocean.
Donghai Xianjing lies on the coast at the southern foot of Wangye Mountain in eastern Pingtan Island. It consists of a group of sea-eroded landforms including Xianren Well, Xianren Valley, Xianren Cave, Xianren Peak and Xianren Terrace. The most famous is Xianren Well, a natural sea-eroded vertical shaft nearly 50 meters across and more than 40 meters deep, with steep walls. At the bottom, three small caves connect to the ocean. At high tide, waves surge in with a roaring sound, and looking down from the observation platform at the rim is very striking. Walking trails and observation platforms run along the coast, offering views of granite sea cliffs and the sea beyond. Admission is about 21 yuan, and opening hours are roughly 08:00–19:00 in peak season and 08:00–17:30 in off-season. A taxi from Tancheng takes about 30 minutes. Note: do not climb over the railings at the well's edge or on the sea cliffs.
Opening hours
Apr 15–Sep 30 08:00–19:00; rest of the year 08:00–17:30
