#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, China is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many scenic spots in Qinhuangdao. This time I would like to introduce a very famous scenic spot in the local area: Shanhaiguan. The Great Wall - Shanhaiguan, also known as Yuguan, Yuguan and Hospice, is located at No. 1 East Street, Shanhaiguan District, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province. It is one of the northeastern passes of the Ming Great Wall. Before 1990, it was considered to be the eastern starting point of the Ming Great Wall. It is known as "one of the three wonders of the Great Wall of China" (there is Shanhaiguan in the east, Zhenbeitai in the middle, and Jiayuguan in the west), "the first pass in the world", "the throat of the border county, the guarantee of the capital", and echoes Jiayuguan thousands of miles away, and is famous all over the world. The city of Shanhaiguan has a circumference of about 4 kilometers. It is a small city. The entire city is connected to the Great Wall and the city serves as a pass. The city has four main gates and a variety of ancient defensive buildings. It is a city with a relatively complete defense system. The main structure is the majestic Arrow Tower, "The First Pass in the World", supplemented by other Great Wall buildings such as Jingbian Tower, Linlv Tower, Muying Tower, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng, Dongluocheng, and the Great Wall Museum. The plaque of "The First Pass in the World" is 5 meters long and 1.5 meters high, with each character more than one meter long. It is said that it was written in regular script by Xiao Xian, a native of Shanhaiguan and a Jinshi in the eighth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. The brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, and it fits perfectly with the style of the city tower. It can be called a masterpiece of ancient and modern times.
