The END of the GREAT WALL of CHINA?! | Visiting "The Old Dragon's Head" in Qinhuangdao
Come along with me to the district of Shanhaiguan in the city of Qinhuangdao, China. This city is located in Hebei province and is a place I have called home for 3 years.
The Old Dragon's Head （老龙头）is where the Great Wall of China finishes! This is the end of the Great Wall of China!
Most of this area has been rebuilt because it has been destroyed. Although you can't see a fully ancient great wall, you at least get to see the point where it does not continue anymore.
Old vs Modern Great Wall
As you can see here, there is the original great wall which has mostly been destroyed, but the modern great wall is what surrounds it.
Most people only envision the Great Wall stretching for miles in both directions, so I think one can feel surprised to see it come to an end on a beach in Shanhaiguan. Also, the majority of tourists usually visit the Great Wall of China in Beijing because few of them actually come to Qinhuangdao. In this video, I can't show you where the Great Wall of China begins, but I can at least show you the end! Hahaha.
Hope you enjoy this video! Leave a like, comment and share this with anyone you think will also enjoy it!

It was nice experience to read about Great Wall. Thanks for the post.
Plus, the majority of China tours are actually shopping tours and will only take you to the usual tourist destination cities like Beijing, or Shanghai. Qinhuangdao is not on most tour itineraries
Very true. It seems this city is only popular among Russians in the summer time.
Amazing post. I really want to visit the great wall someday.....;-)
Good luck to you!
Kind of poetic... the end of the wall... Thanks for sharing that! Naming it the "dragon's head" is really fine
Indeed. Some people are telling me that this is in fact the beginning of the great wall but I think it's all perspective. Thanks for viewing!
great! just fell in-love with the travel section and your post precisely. Some day I am gonna be in china.
Hope you make it here one day. China is one hell of a country.
Interesnting information, I really like to travel to see the old dragon's head...
How did you get the picture of the old vs. modern china wall ?
That's just what it looks like when you look at it. The old wall was there and they just built around it. If you get off the wall and walk on the beach beside it, you can see it. I didn't get any footage of it so I didn't include it in the video.
