Histoire

Historically, Beidaihe was part of Pingluan Prefecture in Shandong Province during the early Ming dynasty before being reassigned to various administrative regions including Beiping Province and Yongping Prefecture.

1949

In the late 19th century, it was officially designated as a summer resort for foreigners and locals alike, leading to the construction of numerous villas by 1949.

Following the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Beidaihe became a favored summer retreat for the Chinese Communist Party leadership, hosting important political conferences.

1954

The area's development included sanatoriums and guesthouses, notably the Friendship Guesthouse built in 1954 for Soviet visitors.

The beach has since maintained its dual role as a scenic resort and a site of political significance.
