Qinghuangdao, a coastal city, located in the Hebei province. There is the nearest beach to the Beijing, so there are many people from Beijing buying the houses there, but as I said before, the beaches are not the strong points of China. But there is a interesting thing to see there, the Great Wall of China, there is the end of the Great Wall, at the sea. There is also the famous "Shan Hai Guan", it means the fortress of the mountain and the sea, that fortress was the mark of the Chinese history, there was a traitor called Wu San Gui who opened the door of the fortress, and lead the Qing army to the Beijing, that was the moment of the end of the Ming dynasty and the beginning of the last Chinese dynasty, Qing.
