This is a group of old photos taken in Shanhaiguan City, Qinhuangdao City, recording the social appearance and customs of the ancient city of Shanhaiguan in the 1990s. Through the old photos, we will take you to see the life of the ancient city of Shanhaiguan in the 1990s and feel the memories of the times.

Shanhaiguan was called Yuguan in ancient times, also known as Chongqing Pass, also known as Linlu Pass. It is named Shanhaiguan because it rests on Yanshan Mountain in the north and the Bohai Sea in the south. Shanhaiguan is one of the northeastern passes of the Wanli Great Wall, and it is known as "the first pass in the world".

Shanhaiguan is located at the eastern end of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, which is the only place where the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty meets the sea. The terrain here is dangerous and it is the location of ancient Jieshi, so historians also call it "Jieshi Road". Guancheng is bordered by Yanshan Mountain in the north and the Bohai Sea in the south, so it is named Shanhaiguan, where Ji and Liaoning divide.

Shanhaiguan is one of the northeastern passages of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. It is known as "one of the three wonders" of the Great Wall of China (Shanhaiguan in the east, Zhenbeitai in the middle, and Jiayuguan in the west), "the first pass in the world", and "the throat of the border county, the protection of the capital". It echoes Jiayuguan, which is thousands of miles away, and is famous all over the world.

Shanhaiguan is an ancient historical city. It is an ancient city integrating mountains, seas, the Great Wall, Xiongguan, diverse folk customs, and a long history and culture. There are titles such as the Hometown of the Great Wall of China Culture, the Hometown of Chinese Mengjiangnu Culture, and the Hometown of Chinese Calligraphy.

Shanhaiguan is a world-famous tourist destination with a collection of scenic spots and historical sites and beautiful scenery. There are many historical and cultural relics in the territory, including mountains, seas, customs, cities, buildings, lakes, seas, caves and temples.

At that time, the ancient city of Shanhaiguan was also bustling. At that time, the buildings in the city looked very dilapidated and the streets were crowded. It is these that have the history of the ancient city, these are the memories of the history of the ancient city.

The ancient city has been transformed since then, and today it has changed a lot. Now many of the ancient buildings in the ancient city are newly built antique buildings, and the ancient city looks much cleaner, but it lacks the heavy sense of history.
