1 old faucet
I have always had a complex in my heart. I want to go all over the Great Wall of China and open the thick chapter of Chinese history. In the long two thousand years, I have experienced several dynasties. There is a project that has been running through the development history of China. Among them, this great project is the Great Wall.
Traveling in summer, I deliberately came to Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, to pursue the history of the Great Wall, and to visit the famous Laolongtou scenic spot.
The Great Wall of China is magnificent and has a special significance for the Chinese nation. The Great Wall is a great defense project in ancient my country. It is an ancient defense project with the longest construction time and the largest engineering volume in China and the world. The Old Dragon Head Scenic Spot in Shanhaiguan, as the eastern starting point of the Ming Great Wall, has an important historical significance. significance.
Laolongtou is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, 4 kilometers south of Shanhaiguan City, Hebei Province. Among the Great Walls I have walked, it is the most poetic and picturesque section of the Great Wall. The terrain here is high and steep, and there is a "Stone City into the Sea" built by Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Ji Town in the Ming Dynasty. Entering the sea, Shicheng is like a dragon's head protruding into the sea, making waves and dancing waves, so it is called "Old Dragon Head".
The old dragon head has a profound history of more than 600 years. The military buildings such as the school field, Longwu camp, and Jiangtai in Ninghai city show the style of the Ming Dynasty fortress. Now we can walk around the Bagua array when we come here to experience the time when soldiers were marching and fighting. The magic of walking the maze.
When you come to Shanhaiguan, remember to drink a bottle of Shanhaiguan soda. There are many childhood memories here, which are both feelings and nostalgia.
,
The Great Wall of China was first built during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Most of the Great Wall we see now comes from the Ming Dynasty. It consists of seven parts: Stone City into the Sea, Sea God Temple, Jinglu Terrace, Nanhaikou, Chenghai Building, Ninghai City and Binhai Great Wall.
The Great Wall is connected to the sea and the sky, and people fly up to the top of the building. The most famous building in Laolongtou is the Chenghai Building. Chenghai Tower is 14.5 meters high, 15.68 meters wide and 12 meters deep. The building is divided into two floors, and the couplets on the upper floor have a lot of background. A pair of couplets "sunlight and flowers from the beginning of time, the sky and the sea are originally clarified" was written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. You can pay attention to it when you come.
Walking into the Laolongtou Scenic Area, near the sea, there is one of the most classic check-in points, the geographic information mark of the Ming Great Wall, where many people will leave their shadows.
Standing at the position of the old dragon's head and looking far away, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion, because it has been raining when I came here, and the picture in front of me is turbulent waves hitting the shore, the sea and sky are the same color, the huge waves are rushing, swallowing the sea and the mountains, which makes people open-minded. Full of pride. General Qi Jiguang must have stood in this position back then, facing the sea, full of emotions.
The construction of the Old Dragon Head Sea God Temple and the Great Wall have the same effect, and it looks very spectacular. The construction of the Sea God Temple has a profound historical relationship with ancient shipping. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shanhaiguan was a battleground for military strategists. Matouzhuang in Shihekou was once an important Chaohe port for transporting troops, grain and salt, and was located on the west side of Laolongtou. The Chaohe Port was very prosperous back then. Since the opening of the sea in the early Ming Dynasty, the coastal people built this Sea God Temple in order to pray for the safety of the sea.
Time flies, six hundred years of time in the long river of history, just a short moment, the Great Wall of the old dragon head, has experienced the vicissitudes of the years, still maintains a tall and straight posture, young children are playing heartily in this sea area , the long-standing glory is frozen in the history books, and what is left to modern people is the happiness of living and working in peace and contentment.

Triangle Mountain Great Wall
When it comes to the Great Wall of China, everyone will have an involuntary sense of pride in their hearts. The Great Wall of China winds and undulates for tens of thousands of miles. In the ancient cold weapon era, it played an important defensive role. When it comes to the key defensive role, the Great Wall has become a symbol of the Chinese nation. In Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, there is a particularly low-key section of the Great Wall called the Jiaoshan Great Wall.
This is the first time I have come to the Great Wall of Jiaoshan. A summer rain makes the air warm and fresh. The Great Wall of Jiaoshan is about 3 kilometers north of the ancient city of Shanhaiguan.
The rain in summer makes the entire Jiaoshan Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist. Climbing the Great Wall in such weather has a completely different charm from sunny weather. Because of the participation of clouds and mist, the winding and steep Great Wall is faintly visible in the clouds and mist above the green hills. , like a fairyland.
For many travel enthusiasts, many people will ignore the Great Wall of Jiaoshan after visiting Laolongtou and the city after arriving at Shanhaiguan. In fact, Jiaoshan is very famous in terms of geographical location. The first mountain that crosses to the north, so people also call it the first mountain of the Great Wall.
The Jiaoshan Great Wall is 519 meters above sea level. It is not high, but as you climb up, there will be several sections of the Great Wall that are very steep, with obvious characteristics of following the mountain. The Great Wall here is very different from other places. The height is generally 7-10 meters, and the width is 4-5 meters on average. In places where the mountain is steep, there are also masonry made of cliffs, which can be as narrow as 2.7 meters wide. In some places, there are even no steps. When climbing, you need to hold on to the railings on both sides.
Since ancient times, the roads have been dangerous, and there are no dangerous passes in Jiaoshan. Climbing the Jiaoshan Great Wall requires a brave heart. The vertical enemy platform is a test of one's courage. However, after climbing up, you can overlook the entire Jiaoshan Great Wall. Good viewing angle.
In ancient times, the Jiaoshan Great Wall played an important defensive role. It was the boundary between the two important military towns of Liaodong Town and Ji Town in the Ming Dynasty. There were 5 enemy towers, battle towers, and a pass. The flat roof can accommodate hundreds of people. , is a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Standing quietly on the city wall, there is a vast expanse in the distance. The gold and iron horses of the past have turned into dust and smoke of history, leaving a thick and colorful page in the history books, gently stroking the ancient city bricks, the vicissitudes of the millennium Under the palm of my hand, history has been condensed into a long and tossing story. Those who are willing to listen will definitely pay attention to it.
