According to legend, when Emperor Qin Shihuang made an inspection tour to Chengshantou, he wanted to build a large bridge here to watch the sunrise and search for immortal medicine in the east. He sent people to transport stones day and night to fill the sea and build the bridge. This moved the Dragon King of the East Sea. The Dragon King ordered the sea god to help build the bridge. The sea god built more than forty miles of bridge overnight. Emperor Qin Shihuang was extremely grateful and wanted to thank the sea god in person. The sea god said, ‘I am extremely ugly. As long as you don’t draw my portrait, I am willing to meet the emperor.’ Unexpectedly, Emperor Qin Shihuang broke his promise and had a painter hide among the craftsmen and draw the sea god. After the sea god noticed this, he was very angry and reprimanded Emperor Qin Shihuang for breaking the contract. Immediately, he destroyed the bridge and left. Only four bridge piers remained. ‘San Qi Lue Ji’ records the event of Emperor Qin Shihuang building a bridge at Chengshan. Opening hours: Open all day throughout the year. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
