Songshan Mountain in Yunnan Province is the Gaoligong Mountain range, located on the West Bank of Nujiang River, with an altitude of 2200 meters. The whole Songshan Mountain is composed of more than 20 peaks and ranges, stretching for more than 20 kilometers. The road passes through it, facing deep valley in front and connecting steep slope on the back, forming a natural key. It is known as the "gibraltarian" of Yunnan Myanmar highway.

On May 5, 1942, after the Japanese occupied Songshan, they built strong reinforced concrete Fortifications on the big and small mountains, claiming that Songshan was the Maginot line of defense in the East. From June 4 to September 7, 1944, the Sino British and American allied forces launched the Songshan campaign, which conquered Songshan and annihilated more than 3000 Japanese aggressors. Our army had 6000 generals and soldiers who died for our country.

The remains of Songshan Anti Japanese battlefield are located at the main peak of Dayakou. Beside the highway, there are cemeteries and monuments for the soldiers killed in the battle of Songshan. You can reach the main peak of Songshan by walking about 1 km along a mountain road beside the monument.

The main peak is not high from the direction of Dayakou. It is divided into two peaks: high and low. Both peaks are now covered with tall pine trees. There are paths on both sides of the main peak to circle up the mountain, no matter from which side you can reach the front of the position at that time. The front of the mountain is steep, and you can see the Nujiang River in a broad view. Here, the field of vision can reach tens of kilometers. On the hillside, the trenches built by the Japanese army at that time have disappeared in the weeds, and some sections are well preserved. Songshan battlefield covers a large area. Dozens of hills around it have left many bullet marks. It can be seen that the patriotic soldiers fought with the Japanese aggressors in those days.
