Introduction

Here is the entrance located at the western end of the Grassland Sky Road, surrounded by steep mountains and strong winds. Geese often pass by, and falling due to strong wind is not uncommon. Historically, this place was an important military stronghold. Within the scenic area, there is the "802" Exercise Memorial Hall that displays a large number of photos from the largest military exercise in the history of the Chinese army. Now, the Wild Fox Ridge Fortress, the Sulmon Allied Forces Martyrs Cemetery, the Mongjin Battle Ancient Battlefield Site, and the Sixth Generation Great Wall Ancient Site together form an important military tourism area. The scenic area also has facilities such as physical expansion training area, national defense and civil air defense tunnel visiting area, large-scale weapon outdoor exhibition area, and tourist consultation services.
