翻开山东省地图，你会发现，山东半岛东北端有一块向东突出的狭长尖呷，它就是我国近海著名呷角——成山头。

01 有“中国的好望角”之称！
成山头，又称成山角或“天尽头”，位于山东省威海市荣成市成山镇，因地处成山山脉最东端而得名。

成山头三面环海，一面接陆，与韩国隔海相望，仅距94海里。
它最早看见海上日出的地方，自古就被誉为“太阳启升的地方”，春秋时称“朝舞”，有“中国的好望角”之称。
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.
古时成山头被认为是日神所居之地。据《史记》载，姜太公助周武王平商定天下后，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 中国唯一的一座“始皇庙”就在这！
据史料记载，公元前219年与210年秦始皇曾2次驾临此地，拜祭日主、修长桥、求寻长生不老之药。
并且留下了“秦桥遗迹”、“秦代立石”、“射鲛台”、“秦丞相李斯手书”和“天尽头秦东门”等历史遗迹和人文景观。

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，汉武帝刘彻率领文官武将自今西安出发，途经泰山，一路东进巡游海上，直至成山头，被“成山头日出”这一奇丽的景观所震撼，作“日主祠”、以感恩泽，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.
临空俯瞰，成山头形态酷似翘首望天的出海蛟龙，龙角弯向西北，龙须伸向西南。
这里的地名亦都以“龙”为名：龙须岛、卧龙村、龙眼港……
03 兵家必争之地！
成山头是兵家必争之地，三国、隋、唐、明、清均有兵事发生。
震惊中外的甲午战争之黄海海战，就发生在成山头东10海里外的海面上。

北洋水师爱国将领邓世昌殉于此。
为了表彰邓世昌誓与战舰共存亡的英雄气概和爱国精神，光绪皇帝御赐碑文，谥号“壮节”邓碑至今还保存于始皇庙内。
04 海上丝绸之路东航线上的大通道！
成山头自古以来便是中国海上商船的必经之地，是中国北方与南方海上大通道。
Chengshantou has also long been a vital gateway along the eastern Maritime Silk Road.
中国南方和南亚、东亚各国的商船到大连、营口、天津必经成山头。
中国北方的船只也必须通过成山头到达南方的港口，因此，史上称成山头为海上咽喉和京津锁钥。

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、朝鲜半岛与中国的贸易往来也必经成山头。由此，足见成山头在中国古代东部海上丝绸之路上的重要性。
