Located in the northeast of Qinhuangdao, Shanhaiguan Town was built in 1381 in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It neighbors on the Bohai Sea on the southeast and the Yanshan Mountain on the northwest. The entrance to the town is the Shanhaiguan Pass, which is a very important gateway of the Ming Great Wall. Laolongtou is 5 kilometers south of Shanhaiguan Town, which is the eastern beginning of the Ming's wall.

The east gate of the Shanhaiguan Pass, although a little shabby, still stands grand.
