Shanhaiguan
山海关长城
Shanhaiguan became known as the First Pass Under Heaven since ancient times. It is situated in the east of Qinhuangdao City,Hebei Province, forming a pass of strategic importance at the eastern end of the Great Wall. It was set up by General Xu Da in 1381 (the 14th year of the Ming Hongwu reign) when a castle was erected here.
山海关自古就有天下第一关的美称，它坐落在河北省秦皇岛的东部,在长城的东端形成一个具有战略重要性的关卡。由许达建立于1381年(明洪武十四年)当时只有一个城堡建于这里。
Five kilometers to the east of Shanhaiguan, the starting point of the Great Wall dips into the sea like a dragon's head. Piling 10 meters high and dipping 21 meters into the sea,the rocks chum the surging waves. Hence the name Old Dragon Head. It is a complex of a stone fortification,the Jinglu platform,the South sea pass,and the Chenghailou Tower and the Ninghai Castle.
五公里长的东山海关，长城的起点像冲入大海的龙的头部。桩高10米和浸渍在海里21米,惊涛骇浪拍打着岩石。老龙头因此得名，它由入海石城、靖卤台、南海口关和澄海楼和宁海城堡组成。
