“It seemed that Bohai Sea was the home of the sun and moon. It was also the cradle of the stars.” It tells the artistic conception.

The Great Wall stands here like a giant dragon reaching the entrance of Shanhai Pass. Overlooking the Bohai Sea to the south and sitting against the Yanshan Mountain, it has been endowed with unique landscape of mountain and sea and grand cultural temperament owing to the profound cultural deposits since ancient times.
