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.

🙌Today, I want to share with you a great scenic area in Qinhuangdao - Qinhuangdao Scenic Area😎.
Located on the southeast coast of Qinhuangdao, it is said to be the place where Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu and other alchemists to the sea. The scenic area is built along the coast, perfectly integrating ancient architecture, gardens, and sculpture art. Once you enter the scenic area, you will feel like you have traveled back in time to a thousand years ago.
The first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent gate, with the four spirits of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise vividly depicted on it. As you walk further, you will see the vivid sculptures of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour, which recreate the style of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the unifier of China and the emperor of all time. The "Warring States Style" area is even more unique, built around the characteristics of the Seven Warring States, allowing you to easily learn about historical knowledge while playing.
The scenic area also has buildings such as the Temple of Immortals and the Shrine of Immortals, which are full of mysterious atmosphere. Walking along the Immortal Road, the huge statue of Emperor Qin Shi Huang stands by the sea, which is breathtaking. Moreover, it is close to Dongshan Beach, where you can enjoy a sea bath and sunbath after playing, which is simply wonderful.
If you want to see Qinhuangdao from a different perspective, you can take the "Qinhuang" sea sightseeing cruise to enjoy the scenery of the near sea, deep sea, and surrounding attractions. In short, Qinhuangdao Scenic Area is a tourist destination that combines historical culture and natural beauty, and is definitely worth a visit👏.
