The footage of Penglai's completion was captured on video and went viral on sites like YouTube. People's initial reaction was to suspect that this was a special effect in a movie, and it was not until people watched other onlookers upload videos of themselves did people realize.
It was not a movie, it was true!
Back then, how many experts stated that it was impossible for this to be built. Even if it were built, it would not float to the surface of the sea. Even if it really did, several waves would have torn the island apart. Even on the day before the completion ceremony of Penglai City, a professor in ship science still commented to make this point known.
