The Emperor of Qin asked for immortals to enter the sea

The place where the Qin Emperor asked for immortals to enter the sea is located in the southeast of the seaport area. It is said that the Qin Shihuang once visited the sea to seek immortals in 215 BC. According to the Records of the Historian, the Chronicle of the First Emperor of Qin, the First Emperor of Qin visited Jieshi Qinhuangdao in 215 BC, and paid homage to the sea here. Lu Sheng, Hou Gong, Han Zhong and other two groups of alchemists went to the sea with boys and girls to seek immortality and seek the elixir of immortality. In the 13th year of Chenghua of the Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, a stone tablet was erected at the place where the Emperor of Qin asked for immortals to enter the sea to commemorate the holy land. Qinhuangdao belonged to Jieshi area in ancient times, so it got its name because the first emperor of Qin Dynasty was stationed here in the east.
