Shanhaiguan, located in the northeast of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, is a national key cultural relics protection unit. It is not only the midpoint of the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, but also the starting point of the ancient Great Wall in China. According to historical records, in the 14th year of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, that is, A.D. 138 1 year, Xu Da, the general of Wei State, found that this place was "surrounded by mountains and seas, with the throat of Liaoji" and decided to build Guancheng and set up a health care center, which was called "Shanhaiguan". Later, it was also called "the first pass in the world" because there was a plaque on the rostrum.
Guancheng faces Yanshan Mountain in the north and Bohai Sea in the south. To its north, it is a restless passage. It plays a huge role in traffic and war, so it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
From the overall layout, Guancheng and its nearby Great Wall, castles, towers, watchtowers, docks and passes all constitute a complete defense engineering system. The circumference of Guancheng is more than 8 Li, the wall is more than 4 Zhang high and more than 2 Zhang thick. It has four doors: the east gate is called Town East, the west gate is called Ying 'en, the south gate is called Wang Yang, and the north gate is called Weiyuan. Among the four doors, the famous "No.1 Pass in the World" East Gate has the greatest boldness of vision and the most complete preservation. Because it is the gateway to the outside world, it has added three lines of defense: the first is Luocheng, the second is Wengcheng, and the third is Guancheng East Gate. The huge plaque of "the first pass in the world" hangs under the upper eaves on the west side of this gatehouse. 5.9m wide,1.55m high and1.09m long. This huge plaque was written by Xiao Xian, a local scholar, in block letters. It is quiet, elegant and magnificent, adding momentum to the majestic customs. The poem "The lock and key of the two capitals are unparalleled, and the Great Wall of Wan Li is the first pass" describes its danger and solidity.
Shanhaiguan not only has a magnificent overall structure, but also has extremely beautiful surrounding scenery, making it a good place for summer vacation. It is close to Beidaihe, with a long and extremely superior beach and a natural "amusement park" on the sea. The old dragon head, one of its famous scenic spots, is picturesque. It is the starting point of the Great Wall and deeply inserted into the sea. At high tide, most towers are not in the sea. Standing on the tower, you will feel very good, just like coming to a fairyland. Moreover, near the old faucet, there is a stone that looks like a person watching the sea. It is said that Meng Jiangnv was there watching the sea and crying her husband. In Shanhaiguan, there are not only so many ancient scenic spots, but also many modern scenic spots, such as the Great Wall Museum, which shows the whole picture of the Great Wall with modern computer technology. There are also speedboats on the sea, which will take you to see the unique sea scenery of Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan welcomes friends from all over the country and overseas with majestic momentum and beautiful scenery every day.
Chapter 2: Shanhaiguan Today, we got up very early. Father said, "We are going to Shanhaiguan. I am very excited."
Three hours later, we had a pleasant journey and went to Shanghai Customs. A tour guide took the initiative to arrange the itinerary for us. After discussion, we decided to go to Laolongtou first.
We came to the old faucet and entered the ticket gate. First, we visited the ancient military camp. The stable, the granary, the place where soldiers cook, the teaching desk and several children went to the gossip array. We almost couldn't get around it. Finally, we boarded Chenghai Mansion, where we took many photos. We went to the old dragon head, where the old dragon head is the starting point of the Great Wall. The vast sea is endless. I was so excited that I gave it right away.
After lunch, we came to Ledao and entered the ticket gate. We took photos with several cartoon characters respectively, and then looked inside. Wow! What a big casino, crowded with people, very lively, with singing and dancing performances, electric cars, big wheels, flying trains ... everyone plays their favorite games.
Dad said, "Let's go to the dolphin show." As soon as I entered the dolphin tube, thousands of people sat down and none of them were absent. It took a long time to find a seat to sit down. Only then did the performance begin. Dolphin performance is very wonderful, including hula hoop, shaking hands with the audience, saluting, kissing, overhead, hurdles and so on. The most wonderful thing is addition and subtraction, and the sea lion performance is more interesting. I was unhappy, so I pushed the coach into the water.
After watching the sea lion show, we took a roller coaster, which was very fast and exciting, and bungee jumping was even more scary. After playing for a while, we went to Ocean Park and saw seals, thousand-year-old turtles weighing more than 200 kilograms, fish and platypus ... even more lovely.
When we walked out of the Ocean Park, we came to the vast sea. I couldn't help jumping into the sea. I didn't expect a spray to come back. The sea was salty, and then I walked carefully to the sea. When I swim, I seem to be dreaming. After taking a shower, I came to the interactive waterwheel. It's like a fairytale water kingdom with a long water slide. I sat on the long water slide and slid into the water. There is a big barrel.
In the evening, I reluctantly left Shanhaiguan.
Chapter 3: The summer vacation in Shanhaiguan has come quietly, and the happy summer life has also arrived.
During the summer vacation, I went to many places, among which the most unforgettable one was to go to Laolongtou, Shanhaiguan and the starting point of the Great Wall.
Our family came to Shanhaiguan scenic spot. As soon as I entered the scenic spot, I saw a gate with two big letters written on it-Xu Ying walked in and saw an archway named "Jinshi Square". Further on, you can see another archway, which says "Fan Wei is the best". Just behind this archway is the long-awaited Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world. I looked up at Shanhaiguan and saw a magnificent tower in front of me. Wide. The gate is seven or eight meters high; Further up is the tall and solid city wall, giving people a magnificent momentum; Above the city wall is a two-story attic with a red top and a gray bottom, which reflects the blue sky and shows the majestic momentum of Shanhaiguan. Looking at these, I can't help but admire: how great the ancients in our country are!
After that, we drove to the Great Wall, the starting point of the old faucet. Along the beach path by the sea, we first came to a water building named "Sea Temple", in front of which was a stone road. I walked into the temple of the sea with curiosity. There are two sacred animals in front, stone pillars climbing on both sides, and a very high palace named "Tianhou Palace" behind, which makes people feel very aura here.
Out of the temple of the sea, I climbed up the wall of the old faucet excitedly. As soon as I got up, I saw an attic with the words "Chenghailou" written on the plaque. Out of Chenghai Building, I saw a cannon. It stood there with its mouth pointed at the defensive place. I can't help but imagine those soldiers guarding the frontier, giving up their lives and defending the motherland with their own flesh and blood.
Later, I looked at the tower of the old faucet. Although it is not big, it is very high in my heart. I walked into the tower and looked at the sea. I am very excited. I saw the history and the future.
Chapter four: Mountains and seas and gunfire tremble between heaven and earth, breaking the endless silence of Yanshan Mountains; The sound of the sword broke the sleep of ghosts and gods and pierced the deep sleep of the sea. The assembly number on Shanhaiguan and the frightened roar remind me of the past. In order to defend the territory of the motherland, riots broke out again. All this has made me look forward to it for a long time. I really want to go to Shanhaiguan to see this fortress that has survived more than a hundred battles.
I finally went to Shanhaiguan today.
Ah! What a powerful pass! This tall watchtower stands high between mountains and seas, cleverly dividing the distance between mountains and seas and the distance between the sky and the earth. It is worthy of being the first level in the world. This straight watchtower, like a sword, goes straight into the sky; Look at this bumpy wall. Although it has been washed away by history, it seems that it can still be announced to people that what an earth-shattering and weeping battle was waged by patriotic soldiers and foreign invaders.
Looking at the huge plaque on the rostrum, "The First Pass in the World", what a wonderful first pass in the world! This pass is located in the throat of western Shanxi, starting from Liaoning, Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang provinces, taking the land of Beijing and Tianjin, and echoing Jiayuguan, the "first male pass in the world" guarding the northwest frontier of the motherland. How important is the position of Shanhaiguan! The five characters on this plaque, with iron hooks and silver hooks in black and white, made us and the invaders feel creepy. This white paper seems to be the funeral paper of the invaders, and it seems to announce loudly to the whole world: "Whoever commits me will die!"
After listening to the tour guide's explanation, the Japanese army brazenly launched an attack on Shanhaiguan in China. The patriotic hero and battalion commander Andersen once disobeyed Chiang Kai-shek's orders and fought against the Japanese invaders. The two sides fought a bloody battle 12 hours, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. But China's army was outnumbered and died in Shanhaiguan. An Dexin, an anti-Japanese hero, has a long history. I can't help but bow my head and sigh as a silent tribute to the hero.
Climb the stairs to Shanhaiguan. The wind in the north brings a little coolness, but I still feel very comfortable, as if I were a general commanding thousands of troops. Looking down from Shanhaiguan, wow! What a dangerous place! Next to Shanhaiguan is the rolling Yanshan Mountains, such as blue waves, like the danger of Huashan Mountain. This mountain is like a long Great Wall. This white wall gives people a sense of justice and light, especially with the dark green Yanshan Mountains, which gives people a feeling of not suppressing evil and promoting good. On the other side is the blue sea, the Bohai Sea, which is really boundless. The sea is turbulent, just like a sea dragon stirring the sea and growling at the enemy. All this makes me tremble a little, and I can't help sighing and admiring.
Shanhaiguan, you will show the unique heroism and lofty sentiments of the people of China to people all over the world with your strong body and loyal soul!
