Kunlun Pass (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Kūnlún Guān) is mountain pass located 59 kilometers northeast of Nanning, Guangxi and traversed by G242. The altitude is around 300 m (1000 ft). In 816 AD, governor of Guiguan built a stone pass at Shiguitang between Jieshou mountain and Luosan mountain and named it Xiongnan pass. During the Northern Song dynasty, it was renamed to Kunlun pass. In 1939 the site was the location of the Battle of Kunlun Pass.
