Songshanzhanyi Site
4.8/5 · 33 review
Highlights:
Located in Lameng Township, Longling County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, it was the main battlefield of the Second World War against Japan in western Yunnan and one of the sites of the Songshan Battle. Songshan is located on the west bank of the Nujiang River. The top of the mountain is 2,200 meters above sea level. It is the throat of the Burma Highway and is known as "Gibraltar". After crossing the Nujiang River via the Huitong Bridge, the famous Yunnan-Burma Highway hovers for more than 40 kilometers among the cliffs of the mountain. There is a trend of "one husband is in charge, ten thousand husbands are not open". After the Japanese invaders occupied Longling in May 1942, heavy troops were stationed there. From June to September 1944, we fought bloody battles against Japanese soldiers and civilians and wiped out more than 3,000 Japanese troops. Due to the special status and significance of the Battle of Songshan in western Yunnan and the entire Anti-Japanese War, it was listed as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit in 1993, and a special fund was allocated to restore the anti-Japanese soldiers' cemetery and other relics, and built four sign explanatory monuments, eighteen The remains describe the monument and a road up the mountain. In November 1998, Songshan was announced as a patriotic education base in Yunnan Province.
