Loushan Pass - Entradas, horarios, ubicación y puntos destacados
Loushan Pass (娄山关), also known as Louguan or Taiping Pass, is the main peak of the Dalou Mountain Range, located at the border of Zunyi and Tongzi counties. Surrounding the Loushan Pass are cliffs and precipices, with peaks reaching heights of 1400 to 1600 meters, making it exceptionally perilous. It is famously described as “one man holds the pass, ten thousand cannot pass.” Due to its strategic location, serving as the gateway to Sichuan in the north and controlling the access to Guizhou and Guangxi in the south, Loushan Pass has been a crucial military position throughout history.
In February 1935, during the Long March, the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, led by the First Front Army, crossed the Chishui River for the second time and returned to northern Guizhou. They defeated four regiments of the Guizhou Army, captured Loushan Pass, and initiated the Battle of Zunyi, marking their first significant victory since the start of the Long March. This victory signaled the beginning of the Zunyi Conference and demonstrated the resilience of the Red Army. Since then, Loushan Pass, where the Red Army fought, has become a famous revolutionary memorial site in northern Guizhou.
