Qinhuangdao is one of the coastal cities in China, located in the east of Hebei Province, adjacent to Liaoning Province and Bohai Sea. There are many versions of the name of Qinhuangdao. One version is that Qin Shihuang once visited here, and local residents called it "Qinhuangdao" to commemorate Qin Shihuang. Another version is named after the imperial city built near Qinhuangdao in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, there is another saying that Qinhuangdao got its name because Bai Juyi, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "The grass in Qinchuan is beautiful, the snow in Qinling is beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and Yumenguan", and "Qinling" is homophonic with "Qinhuangdao". Either way, the name of Qinhuangdao is closely related to history and culture.
