In 219 BC, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, accompanied by his civil and military officials, toured to the easternmost point of Chengshan Head. Believing he had reached the end of the sky, he ordered his chancellor Li Si to inscribe ‘The East Gate of Qin at the End of Heaven’ and erected a stele at Chengshan Head. Due to the passage of time, the stele has broken into two parts, with the upper part with inscriptions falling into the sea. The existing base on the mountaintop measures 120 centimeters in height, 145 centimeters in width, and 75 centimeters in thickness. According to experts, the stone of the stele is sedimentary rock, different from the rock of Chengshan, confirming it as a stele from the Qin Dynasty. It is open all year round and accessible at all times, with specific business hours subject to the daily opening status.
