Old Dragon’s Head, Qinhuangdao
Lying five kilometers south of Shanhaiguan Pass, old dragon’s head is the eastern starting point of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. It extends about 20 meters into the Bohai Sea like a dragon drinking water, hence its name.
As one of the most important scenic spots in Shanhaiguan Pass Scenic Area, the body of the wall naturally bends in the shape of a dragon and extends along the coastline. It is set up with blocks and consists of seven parts, namely, Joining the Sea Block City, the Sea God Temple, Jinglu Platform, South Sea Exit, Chenghai Pavilion, Ninghai City and Seashore Great Wall.
Among these parts, Chenghai Pavilion is said to be the highest point of the Old Dragon Head, an ideal place to appreciate the vastness and grandness of the sea. In Qing Dynasty, the emperor Kangxi and Qianlong had been to this pavilion for many times to worship their ancestors. Emperors had left many beautiful poems and the stele of “Chenghai Lou” is the autograph of emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty.
