Chengshan Cape--Easternmost Tip Of China. The "Shihuang (first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty) Hall on the Chengshan Cape. In 1821, a businessman named Xu Fuchang from the south met with a mishap on the Chengshn Cape, He could only rely on writing to get understood with the local people for he could not speak the local dialect. He thought he owed all this to Qinshihuang who unified the Chinese written language. So he built the hall in his memory on the site which used to be "Shihuang Palace". Photo by Li Ji
