After a hundred years of precipitation and wind’s and rain’s baptism, the large mottled port with full of vicissitudes has made an elegant transformation to improve urban functions and promote urban development.

Under the planning concept of protecting industrial cultural relics, the old equipments left by the old factory, such as the crane track, have been preserved. These equipments have become new fashions like old-fashioned electric fans and old-fashioned phonographs.
The slogans that are faintly visible on the wall of the ceremony hall are very contemporary.
Once, it was a century-old industrial relic of Qinhuangdao Port. Today, it has transformed into a high-end romantic wedding place. When the inspirational creative culture meets “the industrial heritage”, the myth of the old factory’s “Phoenix Nirvana” is truly presented to us.
At present, the Haishi Garden is also very close to the Xunxian Cruise, is the starting point of the Qinlv Shanhai Traveling Train, and is where the 120th Anniversary Exhibition of the South Stack House Port and the Ceramic Art Exhibition by teacher Zhu Legeng locate!
