The charm of Qinhuangdao is astonishing

Qinhuangdao not only has Aranya but also the picturesque Shanhaiguan. This place, with its mountains, seas, history, and culture, is definitely worth a visit. Shanhaiguan is the first pass at the eastern end of the Ming Great Wall, known as the 'First Pass Under Heaven' and 'The Key to the Two Capitals'. Its three main attractions—mountains, seas, and the pass—form its name. Mountain—Jiaoshan Jiaoshan is the highest peak in Shanhaiguan, with an altitude of 520 meters. The promise of eternal love originates here. The hiking route on the Jiaoshan Great Wall is not long, but it is steep and the steps are very high, so it can be a bit tiring. It is recommended to hike up and take the cable car down. Sea—Laolongtou Laolongtou is located by the sea and is named because the stone city extending into the sea resembles a dragon's head reaching into the ocean. It is recommended to visit on a sunny day when the sea is bluer. You can bring slippers to walk on the beach and listen to the sound of the waves, which is very soothing. The Chenghai Tower, Laolongtou, Haishen Temple, and the Bagua Formation are all great for photography. Pass—The First Pass Under Heaven The First Pass is located in the center of Shanhaiguan and is one of the three major passes along with Juyongguan and Jiayuguan. It is a must-visit place in Shanhaiguan. Climb the ancient city walls and feel the long history. There is also a light and shadow show on the city wall in the evening in the square in front of it. It is recommended to visit it together with the ancient city of Shanhaiguan. Transportation Take the high-speed train to 'Shanhaiguan Railway Station'. Shanhaiguan is not large, and the attractions are not far from each other, making it very convenient to travel by taxi. Accommodation Staying in the ancient city of Shanhaiguan or near the railway station is very convenient.
