Lianyungang, known as Quxian, Yuzhou and Haizhou in ancient times, has a history of more than 2,000 years, and has become an important opening door of China since Qin and Han Dynasties. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he traveled here three times. In 2 12 BC, he set up Qindongmen, the first gateway to overseas in China's history, under Kongwangshan Mountain in Haizhou, making Lianyungang one of the four open gateways that echoed Jiayuguan, Shanhaiguan and Zhennanguan.

Among the coastal port cities in China, Lianyungang has the richest cultural relics and the longest history. According to archaeological findings, as early as 654.38 million+years ago, there were human activities near Yushan Mountain in Lianyungang City. 40,000-50,000 years ago, ancient human activities also appeared in Jinping Mountain Area. 1979, the only Paleolithic site with clear stratigraphic relationship in the southeast coastal area of China was found in Taohuajian at the southern foot and Daxianzhuang near Donghai County. There are more than 10 Neolithic sites in Jinping mountain area. Among them, Erjian Site is one of the earliest developed areas of primitive agriculture in China, and it is the site of Shao Hao, the center of oriental nationalities in China 5000 years ago. 1986 The prehistoric city site discovered in Tenghualuo, Zhongyun Township, Lianyungang City is a typical Longshan cultural site, about 5,000 years ago. The "Jiangjunya Rock Painting" discovered in 1979 is 20 meters long and 1 1 m wide. It is the only stone carving rock painting reflecting the life of primitive agricultural tribes in China's coastal areas at present, and it has extremely valuable reference value for studying China's folk customs and art history. At the southern foot of Kongwang Mountain, there is a cliff statue with a length of 15.6 meters and a width of 9.7 meters ... It was confirmed as an artistic treasure of the Eastern Han Dynasty by experts. It is the earliest Cliff Buddha statue in China, which is of great value to the study of China's Buddhist history and diplomatic history.

In history, many literati left precious remains in Lianyungang, an ancient land. According to Zuo Zhuan, in the autumn of Lu 17 (525 BC), Confucius "asked officials for harmony", and Kong Wangshan was famous for watching the sea. Now there is also a "desk for asking officials" on Kongwangshan. Qin Shihuang went on a tour to Quxian County and set up a new East Gate in Qushan (now Jinping Mountain). Qin Fang Shi Xu Fu, a native of Xufu Village, Ganyu County, was sent to Japan by Qin Shihuang. In his later years, Wu Cheng'en wrote the mythical novel The Journey to the West with Yuntai Mountain as the background. In his later years, Li Ruzhen wrote the masterpiece "The Flower in the Mirror" handed down from ancient times in Haizhou. Others are Tao Yuanming in Jin Dynasty, Li Bai in Tang Dynasty, Su Dongpo, Shi, Shen Kuo, Li Qingzhao and Xin Qiji in Song Dynasty, Wu and Lin Zexu in Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Ziqing in modern times. Most of the remains are still there.
