Cape of Chengshan

(Local Name: Chengshan Jiao) The Cape of Chengshan (Chengshan Jiao) is a rocky promontory on the eastern tip of the Shandong peninsula, about 60km/37mi east of Weihai.

According to legend, the Qin Emperor Shi Huangdi came here twice seeking a herb which would provide him with everlasting life.

On the south side of the cape stand two temples; one is dedicated to the Qin Emperor Shi Huangdi, to commemorate his two visits, while the Temple of the Sun God (Rizhu Ci) was built by the Han Emperor Wudi after he had paid homage to the Sun God on this cliff.
