Kunlun Pass, on the east side of Mount Kunlun northeast of Nanning, Guangxi, commands the road north from Nanning to Liuzhou. A stone pass was built here in the Tang and given its present name in the Song. The Northern Song general Di Qing seized it in a night attack at the Lantern Festival and went on to put down Nong Zhigao; in the War of Resistance, the Battle of Kunlun Pass of the Southern Guangxi campaign was fought here.
