Mei Pass crowns the Dayu Range (Meiling) on the border between Nanxiong, Guangdong, and Dayu, Jiangxi, guarding the Dayu Road between Lingnan and the Central Plains. In the Tang, Zhang Jiuling had the Meiling road cut over the ridge, and it became the main route between north and south; the gate tower and the stone-paved post road survive.
