What a resounding name the "Great Wall" is. It is famous all over the world for its winding thousands of miles and majestic spirit. It is surrounded by various dazzling halos, making it a symbol and pride of China. In the eyes of the Chinese people, it is not just a building. It has become a kind of spirit and motivation.

As the largest and most widely distributed cultural heritage in China, the Great Wall spans 15 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. Among them, Hebei Province is the province with the richest resources of the Great Wall, and it can be called the "museum" of the Great Wall of all dynasties. Most of the main dynasties and northern regimes in history built the Great Wall in Hebei, including the Great Wall of the Warring States, Qin, Han, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Tang, Jin, Ming and other periods. This situation is rare in other provinces.

It is commendable that the Great Wall in Hebei Province has the most architectural types. All the architectural types of the Great Wall of China are found in Hebei, especially the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall traverses Hebei and connects Beijing and Tianjin. It is more than 2,000 kilometers long in Hebei, with more than 20 elite sections and more than 200 large and small passes. It can be said that it is the most complete and representative section of the Great Wall.

Since most of the Great Wall in Hebei Province was built on the basis of the mountains, they are mostly distributed in remote areas. Since the Qing Dynasty, the Great Wall has ceased to perform its original functions, and the maintenance and reinforcement work has been stagnant. Long-term natural erosion and disasters and the production and life of surrounding residents in history The destruction caused many sections to appear in danger, and even fell off and collapsed.

In order to gradually solve the problems existing in the protection and management of the Great Wall, Hebei Province has adopted a series of measures. In 2014, the tourism bureaus (committees) of 8 provinces, autonomous regions and cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shanxi, established the "China Great Wall Tourism Marketing Alliance"; Responsibility to protect paragraph. In 2017, the Hebei Provincial People's Government promulgated and implemented the "Hebei Great Wall Protection Measures";

On December 10, 2020, the 2020 China Great Wall Tourism Marketing Alliance event hosted by the Hebei Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism was held in Qinhuangdao City. The members of the China Great Wall Tourism Marketing Alliance have increased to 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, and unanimously approved the newly revised "China Great Wall Tourism Marketing Alliance Charter", and signed the "China Great Wall Tourism Marketing Alliance Proposal". With the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park by more and more identities, the protection and repair of the Great Wall, cultural excavation, activation and inheritance, environmental improvement and the integration of culture and tourism have entered a new stage. This means that the Great Wall cultural tourism will open a new chapter.

Shanhaiguan Great Wall: An important part of the Great Wall.

Shanhaiguan, located 15 kilometers northeast of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, is one of the northeast passes of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Before 1990, it was considered as the starting point of the eastern end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It is known as "one of the three wonders" of the Great Wall of China.

Entering the first pass in the world this winter, a strong sense of history blows over us. As the Ming Great Wall, the first important pass at the starting point of the east. I really feel what it means to be "unmatched in the lock and key of the two capitals, and the first pass of the Great Wall". The barriers are heavily fortified, and there are city gates, castles, and beacon towers, forming a chain of military defense systems. shocked.

Shanhaiguan is adjacent to Yanshan Mountain in the north and Bohai Sea in the south. The terrain is dangerous. It is the throat between Northeast China and North China. It has been a battleground for military strategists in history. On the platform of Zhendongmen, the building has two floors, and the plaque of "the first pass in the world" written by Xiao Xian, a famous calligrapher of Ming Dynasty, is hung on the Guanlou.

The map in the middle of the first floor is the restoration map of Shanhaiguan, depicting the whole picture of the ancient buildings of Shanhaiguan. This is a huge project. The entire city is four kilometers long, surrounded by gates and connected to the Great Wall.

The first pass in the world, which has been baptized by wind and rain, is dignified and charming. Every brick and tile on the tower seems to tell us the endless past in the long river of time. Looking at the magnificent scenery in front of me and gently stroking the ancient city wall, I seem to have seen the scene of the ancient working people building the Great Wall.

After visiting the city tower, the 2020 Great Wall International Tourism Photography Exhibition under the city was officially launched on December 10. It mainly focused on the photography works of the Hebei section of the Great Wall. Feel the different figures of the four seasons of the Great Wall in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Looking at the magnificent, faintly visible, or isolated Great Wall in the pictures, the wonderful, stunning, and shocking images of the Great Wall are still vivid in my mind today, and I sincerely lament the extraordinary wisdom and perseverance of our ancestors. .

Old leader: The sky is open to the sea and the mountains are vast, thousands of miles away!

The Great Wall is like a giant dragon, whose head stretches out into the Bohai Sea to make waves and play in the water. People commonly call this place the "Old Dragon Head". It is located 5 kilometers south of Shanhaiguan District, Qinhuangdao City. The only naval and military defense system that integrates mountains, seas, customs, and cities.

Since 1985, Shanhaiguan District has responded to the call of "Love China and build the Great Wall" by a great man of his generation, Mr. Deng. After eight years and four phases of construction, the old dragon head has finally regained its former majesty. In recent years, the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have attached great importance to the protection and inheritance of the Great Wall culture and the development of Great Wall cultural tourism. Taking the opportunity of holding the provincial and municipal tourism industry development conference, Hebei has vigorously explored the cultural connotation of the Great Wall, strengthened the protection of the resources of the Great Wall, built and upgraded the scenic spots of the Great Wall, and improved infrastructure such as tourism transportation.

Before the sunset, stroll on the beach of Qinhuangdao, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the old dragon head of Shanhaiguan. As the only grand pass connected to the sea, it is majestic and magnificent. The scenic spot covers an area of ​​600 mu and consists of 28 landscapes including Ninghai City, Ruhai Stone City, Chenghai Building, Longwu Camp, and Sea God Temple.

Here is the only stone city in the Great Wall that goes into the sea, the only enemy platform at sea, the first crenel, the first pass, the first sea-watching pavilion in the east of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and the most complete coastal defense barracks of the Ming Dynasty. In more than 600 years of changes, Laolongtou has written a history that has gone through many vicissitudes.

Jiaoshan Great Wall: The first mountain of the Great Wall!

As the name suggests, Jiaoshan Mountain has huge rocks, like a dragon head wearing a horn. This is the leader of the Great Wall and the first mountain to cross the Shanhai Pass to the north, so people also call it "the first mountain of the Great Wall".

The Jiaoshan Great Wall was built in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the city walls were made of local materials, built of rubble, and some were built of bricks and long stones. The height and width have obvious characteristics of following the mountain. ·The Great Wall of Jiaoshan includes Dapingding, the main peak of Jiaoshan Mountain. When you climb the Great Wall of Jiaoshan Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the distant mountains and the sea, and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery inside and outside the Great Wall.

After 600 years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the Jiaoshan Great Wall was seriously damaged. In the 1980s, under the call of "Love China, Repair My Great Wall", the Jiaoshan Great Wall was well restored and regained its glory.

Qinhuangdao, a city with a long history and a young attitude, not only has charming natural scenery, but also has rich cultural tourism resources. The Great Wall is no longer an important military site, but its historical value and military role cannot be underestimated. Time flies, stars move, it stands still, the Great Wall has written a history that has gone through vicissitudes, feels the ever-changing world, and brings us infinite reverie about history.
