Your unforgettable day begins with a seamless pick-up service from your hotel, train station, or airport in Beijing. Look for the "Your Way Holiday" sign held by your guide and driver, and relax as you embark on a comfortable journey towards Qinhuangdao by high-speed train. The trip, lasting approximately 2.5 hours, provides a chance to sit back and enjoy the scenic route while your knowledgeable guide shares fascinating stories about the historical significance of the destinations you will soon visit. The train ride ensures a smooth and enjoyable start to your day, and upon arrival in Qinhuangdao, the adventure truly begins.
The first stop is Shanhaiguan Great Wall, famously known as "the first pass of the Great Wall." This iconic part of the Wall holds immense historical significance as it once guarded the eastern entrance to China during the Ming Dynasty. Stretching over 4,769 meters, Shanhaiguan is flanked by seven major fortresses, including the Guancheng and Beiyi castles. These fortresses were strategically placed to protect the region from invasions. As you walk along the Wall, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of the history and strategic importance of Shanhaiguan, showcasing the design and strength of the fortifications. The height and thickness of the Wall stand as a testament to the engineering marvels of ancient China, offering spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Your guide will enrich the experience by sharing fascinating anecdotes about military life and defense strategies, making it easy to imagine the warriors who once stood guard here.
After exploring Shanhaiguan Great Wall, it's time for a well-deserved lunch at a local restaurant in Qinhuangdao. Your guide will recommend a selection of authentic coastal dishes for you to sample, such as steamed scallops, grilled squid, and other regional specialties like sea cucumber and sea urchin. The meal provides an opportunity to recharge, discuss the history you've just witnessed, and prepare for the next part of your journey. The fresh flavors of seafood, combined with the insights into local culinary traditions, will leave you with a deeper appreciation of Qinhuangdao's coastal heritage.
Following lunch, you'll head to Lao Long Tou, where the Great Wall meets the Bohai Sea, offering a stunning blend of history and natural beauty. This segment of the Wall is particularly famous as the easternmost point of the Ming Dynasty Great Wall. The Chenghai Tower, also known as the "Old Dragon Head," stands proudly at the edge of the sea, its name deriving from the resemblance of the Wall to a dragon's head. The Wall here extends into the ocean, symbolizing China’s strong defense against sea invasions. As you walk along this iconic stretch, your guide will explain how this section of the Wall played a crucial role in defending the region from threats both from land and sea. The breathtaking views of the coastline and the Wall create an awe-inspiring atmosphere, blending man-made architecture with the beauty of the natural world.
The history of Lao Long Tou is equally fascinating, as it marks the final line of defense against potential invasions from the sea. Throughout history, many emperors visited this site, adding to its significance as a key strategic location. Your guide will share in-depth insights into the military importance of Lao Long Tou, describing its role in the defense network that protected Shanhaiguan and the surrounding areas. Standing on the Wall, with the vast expanse of the Bohai Sea in front of you, it’s easy to understand why this part of the Great Wall holds such importance. The combination of the impressive structure, the sea breeze, and the rich history ensures that Lao Long Tou is a highlight of your Great Wall experience.
As the day draws to a close, your guide and driver will accompany you back to the high-speed train station, where you’ll board the train for your return journey to Beijing. Along the way, your guide will continue sharing insights from the day, reflecting on the historical wonders you've explored. Once back in Beijing, your guide will ensure your smooth return to your hotel, train station, or airport, leaving you with lasting memories of this remarkable journey through two of the most important sections of the Great Wall of China.
