Xianrenjing is located in the Donghai Fairyland Scenic Area in Pingtan County. Xianrenjing is a natural sea cave shaped like a giant well. It has an interesting cylindrical shape, and the walls of the well are nearly vertical. At the bottom of the well, there are two holes that lead straight to the sea. When the tide rises, waves of water rush into the well. The water in the well becomes like two dragons, colliding and spraying white foam, and the bottom of the well emits an impressive noise; it is a spectacular sight.
