luoyangbaguan

Xiaopingjinguan site is located in the northwest of garden village, the old city of Jin Meng, in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. It is also a ferry on the Yellow River, ranking second only to Fupingjin (Jinmengguan), hence the name Xiaopingjin. In addition, there are Tongguan in the west, Hulao Pass in the east, Tianjingguan (now the top of South Taihang Mountain in Jincheng County of Shanxi Province) and Guan Zhe (west of Jiyuan County of Henan Province) in the north. These passes are the gateway to Luoyang, with strict barriers and guards, making Luoyang an offensive and retreatable military stronghold.
