1According to the historical records, Qinshihuang went on an east tour to Jieshi in the 32nd year of the Qin Dynasty (215 BC) and successively sent Lusheng, Hougong, Hanzhong, and others altogether 2 teams of alchemists to take young boys and girls to seek the elixir of life in the sea. And in the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty, the stone tablet “The Sea Entrance where Qinshihuang pursued immortality” was set here to honor the great place of the legend. Hence, Qinhuangdao City was named after that and has also become the only city that is ever named after the emperor of China’s history. The scenic spot of the Sea Entrance where Qinshihuang pursued immortality covers an area of 19 hectares, where there are many tall trees and other beautiful sceneries. With a deep and profound cultural connotation, the scenic spot integrates the ancient buildings, gardens, and sculpture arts together. Taking Qinshihuang’s east tour for immortality as the main line, the scenic spot demonstrates the historical background of the Seven Powers’ fighting for supremacy in the Warring States Period.
