Shanhaiguan District, Strategic district at Great Wall intersection in Qinhuangdao, China.

The district extends across 192 square kilometers of coastal territory where mountains meet the Bohai Sea, including five subdistricts and three towns.

During the Ming Dynasty in 1381, the district received fortifications and a new pass, replacing the original Linyuguan structure from 583 AD.

The district maintains multiple sections of the Great Wall fortifications, including gates, towers, and battlements that reflect ancient Chinese military architecture.

The district contains major transportation routes connecting Beijing to Shenyang through railways and expressways, with direct access to regional airports.

The elevation of just 2 meters above sea level creates natural conditions for the district's substantial shipbuilding industry and marine trade operations.
