In 2 15 BC, Qin Shihuang traveled eastward to Jieshi. When he landed on the island, he found that the scenery here was excellent, with pines and cypresses, so an alchemist named Lu Sheng went to the sea to seek immortality and medicine. Later, he carved a monument to commemorate the place where Qin Shihuang sought immortality, hence the name Qinhuangdao.
