Shanhaiguan - China Travel

introduce

Shanhaiguan, also known as the first pass in the world, is located in Shanhaiguan District, northeast of Qinhuangdao City. Shanhaiguan City was first built in the Ming Dynasty, with Yanshan Mountain in the north and Bohai Sea in the east. It is a city with a complete defense system and an important military fortress in ancient times. In ancient times, "inside the customs and outside the customs" was often said, since Shanhaiguan was the boundary. Shanhaiguan is one of the important passes in the eastern part of the Ming Great Wall. It echoes Jiayuguan in the western section and is the beginning and the end of each other. It has the reputation of "the first pass in the world".

Shanhaiguan Pass is about 4 kilometers in circumference and is connected to the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty city wall in the ancient city is well preserved, and most of the main streets and alleys remain as they are, making the ancient city more elegant and simple. The most eye-catching thing in the ancient city is the Zhenyuan Building at the east gate of Guancheng, which is "the first gate building in the world". The city tower towers above the Great Wall, looking majesticly at the four fields. Climbing up to the tower, you can overlook the whole view of Shanhaiguan City and the scenery outside the pass.

Around Zhenyuan Tower, there are Jingbian Tower, Linlu Tower, Muying Tower, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng, Dongluo City, Great Wall Museum and other buildings, but except for the Great Wall Museum, most of them have been ruined. However, we can still get a general idea of the architectural style of ancient Chinese city defenses from the layout of the ruins. After that, walk into the ancient city, taste the local special snacks, and enjoy the customs of Shanhaiguan by the way.

Shanhaiguan Scenic Area is not only a military fortress with a long history, but also a tourist and summer resort with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. There are more than 90 scenic spots and historical sites that have been developed in the scenic area, with the Great Wall as the main line, including "Old Dragon Head", "Meng Jiangnv Temple", "Jiaoshan", "Changshou Mountain", "Yansai Lake", "Wang Family Courtyard" and so on.

The first pass in China is Shanhaiguan. Solemn and dignified. I like this view very much.

[Scenery] Shanhaiguan is not big, and there is a park inside, which is quite good! Open for free. There are more people going there. The space is large, there is a lake, and there are many lotus flowers. When I went there, the flowering period had passed, and I only saw endless green leaves stretching across the sky.

Shanhaiguan is an important part of the Great Wall. The existing Shanhaiguan City and the nearby Great Wall, castles and piers are all Ming Dynasty buildings. According to historical records, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381 A.D.), the general Xu Da, Duke of the State of Wei, saw that "the mountains and the sea are in front of the mouth, and the throat of thistle in the Liao Dynasty, so he moved to this place" and built a pass and a guard. "Shanhaiguan" got its name because it was closed between the mountains and the sea.
