Xiaonanshan Site & Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Monument

小南山遗址公园·抗日游击队纪念碑

Xiaonanshan, south of the county seat, yielded jade artifacts about 9,000 years old and was named one of China's Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries. The mountain holds an Anti-Japanese Guerrilla monument.

Xiaonanshan lies right next to Raohe County seat. Artifacts excavated here, dating back about 9,000 years, include jade jue (split rings) and bi (flat discs). They are considered among the earliest known jade objects in China. The site was named one of China's Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in 2019 and now houses a jade culture archaeological park. On the summit stand the Raohe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Monument and the Nanshan Memorial Hall, commemorating the struggle of the predecessor of the Seventh Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, which fought here. You can hike up on foot and overlook the county seat and the border river. Admission is free.
