A long time ago, hundreds of thousands of workers were ordered to rebuild the Great Wall and Meng Jiang Nu came to the area of Shanhaiguan to find her husband, who was one of these workers. She found that this man had died from the intense labor; she cried so hard that some of the wall collapsed along with his corpse.

worship her. Today on the shore of the Bohai Sea, beyond Shanhaiguan Pass, there are two black and rocky reefs.
