翻開山東省地圖，你會發現，山東半島東北端有一塊向東突出的狹長尖呷，它就是我國近海著名呷角——成山頭。
成山頭 Chengshantou
01 有“中國的好望角”之稱！
成山頭，又稱成山角或“天盡頭”，位於山東省威海市榮成市成山鎮，因地處成山山脈最東端而得名。

成山頭三面環海，一面接陸，與韓國隔海相望，僅距94海里。
它最早看見海上日出的地方，自古就被譽為“太陽啟升的地方”，春秋時稱“朝舞”，有“中國的好望角”之稱。
Chengshantou, also called Chengshanjiao, is a well-known promontory lying on the easternmost pa of Chengshan Mountains in Chengshan Town of Weihai city, Shandong province.
古時成山頭被認為是日神所居之地。據《史記》載，姜太公助周武王平商定天下後，曾在此拜日神迎日出，修日主祠。
The promontory is surrounded by sea on three sides and connected with the land on one side. It faces South Korea across the sea and is only 94 nautical miles away from South Korea.

It is known as the place where you can see the earliest sunrise on the sea in China, thus it is hailed as the 'Cape of Good Hope' of China.
02 中國唯一的一座“始皇廟”就在這！
據史料記載，公元前219年與210年秦始皇曾2次駕臨此地，拜祭日主、修長橋、求尋長生不老之藥。
並且留下了“秦橋遺蹟”、“秦代立石”、“射鮫臺”、“秦丞相李斯手書”和“天盡頭秦東門”等歷史遺蹟和人文景觀。

According to historical materials, the First Qin Emperor once paid two visits to Chengshantou to worship the Sun and seek the elixir of life, leaving quite a number of historical sites and relics there, including the Shihuang Palace.
公元前94年，漢武帝劉徹率領文官武將自今西安出發，途經泰山，一路東進巡遊海上，直至成山頭，被“成山頭日出”這一奇麗的景觀所震撼，作“日主祠”、以感恩澤，且作“赤雁歌”志之。

The gorgeous and spectacular landscape also attracted emperors, literati and poets of different dynasties there for sightseeing, especially the Emperor Wu of Western Han dynasty, who visited there and highly praised the view in 94 B.C.
臨空俯瞰，成山頭形態酷似翹首望天的出海蛟龍，龍角彎向西北，龍鬚伸向西南。
這裡的地名亦都以“龍”為名：龍鬚島、臥龍村、龍眼港……
03 兵家必爭之地！
成山頭是兵家必爭之地，三國、隋、唐、明、清均有兵事發生。
震驚中外的甲午戰爭之黃海海戰，就發生在成山頭東10海里外的海面上。

The strategic position of Chengshantou has always been of vital importance in the eyes of military strategists.
Warfare used to happen in waters nearby frequently, including the unprecedented Battle of the Yellow Sea during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

北洋水師愛國將領鄧世昌殉於此。
為了表彰鄧世昌誓與戰艦共存亡的英雄氣概和愛國精神，光緒皇帝御賜碑文，諡號“壯節”鄧碑至今還保存於始皇廟內。
04 海上絲綢之路東航線上的大通道！
成山頭自古以來便是中國海上商船的必經之地，是中國北方與南方海上大通道。
Chengshantou has also long been a vital gateway along the eastern Maritime Silk Road.
中國南方和南亞、東亞各國的商船到大連、營口、天津必經成山頭。
中國北方的船隻也必須通過成山頭到達南方的港口，因此，史上稱成山頭為海上咽喉和京津鎖鑰。

Sea trade among China, Japan and the Korean Peninsula boomed in Shangdong Peninsula in ancient times, and merchant ships from home and abroad, going north or south, must pass through Chengshantou.
古代日本、朝鮮半島與中國的貿易往來也必經成山頭。由此，足見成山頭在中國古代東部海上絲綢之路上的重要性。
