Shanhaiguan Great Wall of China
Shanhaiguan - The First Pass Under Heaven, is traditionally considered the start of the Great Wall of China. It was here that the Great Wall first reached the sea at the Gulf of Bohai giving it another name as The Dragon's Head. The Shanhai pass is located about 50km northeast of Beijing, in Hebei province, on the border with Liaoning province. It was one of the most important fortresses on the Great Wall. Even after the Qing dynasty extended China's borders well north of the wall, the Shanhaiguan remained a significant marker between China proper and the lands of Manchura beyond.
