Kunlun Pass

Kunlun Pass (simplified Chinese: 昆仑关; traditional Chinese: 崑崙關; pinyin: Kūnlún Guān) is mountain pass located 59 kilometers northeast of Nanning, Guangxi and traversed by G242.

Before the battle, China had been routed by Japan and withdrawn its military forces and civilians from the very north southwards, as well as had its capital city Nanjing falling into the hands of Japanese.

After the victory, the Chinese government set up memorial stones at the very site to mark the great honors of the bravery of both armed forces and the local civilians who had offered help during the fighting.

Now with the gradual peace making between Beijing and Taipei, China reestablishes the memorial site and facilities are provided there to make the former battlefield a base for patriotism education.

There is an unrelated Kunlun Pass, at a much higher altitude, 4,772 metres (15,656 ft).
