What Wikivoyage says to see

Many of Qinhuangdao's attractions have been extensively restored or rebuilt in the 1980s. This includes most of the city wall as well as the Great Wall going towards the sea. The other side of the wall, going up the mountains, has been partly restored but some parts remain in their original, crumbling state. Much of the "old" town, especially along the main north-south road, was completely reconstructed in 2008/09.
