Five kilometers to the east of Shanhaiguan, the starting point of the Great Wall dips into the sea like a dragon's head. Piling 10 meters high and dipping 21 meters into the sea, the rocks chum the surging waves. Hence the name Old Dragon Head. It is a complex of a stone fortification ,the Jinglu platform, the South sea pass, and the ChenghailouTower and the NinghaiCastle. Shanhaiguan became known as the First Pass Under Heaven since ancient times.It is situated in the east of Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, forming a pass of strategic importance at the eastern end of the Great Wall. It was set up by General Xu Da in 1381 (the 14th year of the Ming Hong Wu reign) when a castle was erected here.
