China's No. 1 Place for Sea Worship: Qin Shi Huang's Seaside Temple.

It is said that the name of Qinhuangdao City in Hebei Province comes from the historical event of Qin Shi Huang's eastward tour to send people to the sea to seek immortals. In 215 BC, Qin Shi Huang went east to the Jieshi area and stayed here, and carved stones to seek immortals, so it was named Qinhuangdao. Qin Shi Huang's Seaside Temple is located in the southeast of Haigang District, Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, and is now a 4A-level scenic spot. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Qin Shi Huang went east to this place in 215 BC, and worshiped the sea here, and successively sent Lu Sheng, Hou Gong, Han Zhong and other alchemists to the sea to seek immortals and seek the elixir of immortality. In the 13th year of the Ming Dynasty, a stone stele of "Qin Shi Huang's Seaside Temple" was erected to commemorate the holy realm. The main attractions in the scenic area include Qin Feng Que Gate, Qin Shi Huang's East Tour Group Sculpture, Warring States Style Area, Immortal Seeking Hall, Immortal Temple, etc., showing major historical events and legends of the Warring States period.

In early November, I visited Shanhaiguan Pass, known as 'The First Pass Under Heaven' (山海关 - 天下第一关), which was constructed during the Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644. It's a 1 hour and 30 minute train ride from Tianjin or a 2 hour and 30 minute ride from Beijing. From Shanhaiguan railway station, you can walk to the scenic area. 👉 Admission fee: 50 RMB 🕖 Opening hours: 08:00 - 17:00
