Met by our representative in Shanhaiguan and freshen up. First drive to the First Pass Under Heaven at Shanhaiguan for a historic survey. The First Pass Under Heaven is considered the No.1 pass of the Great Wall. Built in Ming Dynasty around 700 years ago, the pass city used to be an important defense city against intrusions by the nomadic people from the north. 

The city was sandwiched by the Yanshan Mountains in the north and the Bohai Sea in the south, hence the name of Shanhaiguan meaning "Pass between Mountains and Sea' in Chinese. To the south of the ancient city is Laolongtou or Old Dragon's head, the north is Jiaoshan Great Wall.


After Chinese lunch, move on to visit Old Dragon's Head ( Laolongtou ), the easternmost end of the Great Wall, which extends 23 meters into the sea,like a dragon drinking water, hence its name. 

This part of the Great Wall was first constructed in the 7th year of Wanli reign in the Ming dynasty (1579) and was largely repaired in the 7th year of Kangxi reign in the Qing dynasty (1668).


Drive south to your beachside Hotel in Beidaihe. You have a free and relaxing later afternoon on your own, playing on the beach near your hotel. The Beidaihe District is famous for the beautiful beaches and sunshine. The Beidaihe beach resort stretches 10 km.
