#10月好去处2024
Shanhai Pass Scenic Area, known as "the first pass in the world", is a perfect combination of the essence of the Great Wall culture and the magnificent scenery of nature. When you come here, you can not only feel the weight of history, but also appreciate the grandeur and vastness between the mountains and the sea.
Standing on the Shanhaiguan city wall, overlooking the ancient city below and the Bohai Sea in the distance, you can suddenly feel the majestic momentum of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot break through". As the eastern starting point of the Ming Great Wall, Shanhaiguan was not only a battleground for ancient military strategists, but also an important pass connecting the inland and the ocean. The city walls here are tall and solid, and the pass is cleverly designed, as if every brick and stone is telling the story of countless battles in history.
Walking in the city, traces of history can be seen everywhere. Whether it is the magnificent East Gate with the plaque "The First Pass in the World", or the majestic arrow tower and enemy tower, they are all awe-inspiring. Entering the "Great Wall Museum", you can gain a deeper understanding of the glorious history of Shanhaiguan as an important military defense fortification. The rich exhibits will allow you to instantly travel back to ancient times and feel the bravery and heroism of the border soldiers.
However, the charm of Shanhaiguan lies not only in its history. It is also a treasure trove of natural landscapes. With the majestic Yanshan Mountain at its back and the vast Bohai Sea in front, the mountain and the sea meet, creating a magnificent scene. The most spectacular is Laolongtou, where the Great Wall goes straight into the sea, like a giant dragon leaping out, which is breathtaking. Standing on the beach, listening to the sound of waves hitting the Great Wall, feeling the echo between the mountains and the sea, a feeling of vastness and heroism rises involuntarily in my heart.
Shanhaiguan is beautiful in all four seasons. It is green and lush in spring and summer, and even more desolate and magnificent in autumn and winter. Whether you are climbing the Great Wall or strolling through the alleys of the ancient city, you can feel the perfect fusion of history and nature. For tourists who love history, culture and natural scenery, Shanhaiguan is undoubtedly an ideal place to both explore the culture and relax the soul.
If you are eager to trace the footprints of history between mountains and seas and feel the grandeur of nature and the brilliance of humanity, Shanhaiguan Scenic Area will definitely present you with an unforgettable travel experience.
