Longtouguan Pass
龙透关
An ancient mountain pass at the narrowest point between the Yangtze and Tuo rivers, the western gateway to Luzhou's old city. It is now a city park commemorating the Luzhou-Shunqing Uprising.
Longtouguan lies on the western side of the Luzhou peninsula, at the neck where the Yangtze and Tuo rivers come closest together. For centuries it was the key stronghold guarding the throat of Luzhou city, and remains of the gate tower and city walls survive. In 1926 the Luzhou-Shunqing Uprising fought fierce battles here. Today it has been developed into Longtouguan Park, with a memorial monument and exhibition. The park has many old trees and is a place where residents exercise and stroll in the morning. You can climb up and look across both rivers. Entry is free, it is reachable by taxi from the urban area, and a visit takes about one hour.
