First Pass Under Heaven ( 天下第一关 ）

#bucketlistreboot Shanhai pass located in Shanghaiguan District, Qinhuangdao, Hebei. Being the easternmost stronghold along the Ming Great Wall, and commands the narrowest choke point in the Liaoxi Corridor. Shanhai Pass is not like other Great Wall sections in mountainous or remote areas-the main fortress is in the middle of a large town. Shanhaiguan Great Wall stretched 26 kilometers long, closing the 10 kilometers gap between the mountains and the sea at Old Dragon Head. Shanhaiguan now is a tourist complex with six major tourist areas, including Laolongtou, First Pass Under Heaven, Jiaoshan, the Temple of Meng Jiang Nu, Longevity Mountain, and Yansai Lake. The first two should not be missed.
