In early November, I visited Shanhaiguan Pass, known as 'The First Pass Under Heaven' (山海关 - 天下第一关), which was constructed during the Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644. It's a 1 hour and 30 minute train ride from Tianjin or a 2 hour and 30 minute ride from Beijing. From Shanhaiguan railway station, you can walk to the scenic area. 👉 Admission fee: 50 RMB 🕖 Opening hours: 08:00 - 17:00
