Soldiers in sculpture
The Chinese Expeditionary Force Sculpture Group (中国远征军雕塑群) was completed on 3 September 2013. It occupies 17,400 square metres and contains 402 sculptures arranged in twelve formations. These include generals, child soldiers, women soldiers, veterans, warhorses and military vehicles. The number 402 refers to the force’s first expedition into Burma in 1942.
Tunnels and a scarred tree
At Daorenping (道人坪), Chinese engineers began the two tunnels used to attack the Japanese bunkers on the main peak. Each tunnel extended 150 metres; the bunkers were destroyed by explosives on 20 August 1944. Other remains include a tree bearing bullet holes and a cemetery stele erected by commander Xiong Shouchun (熊绶春) for the fallen soldiers of the 103rd Division.

The Longling War of Resistance Museum stands in Longling County, Baoshan, its two-storey main building surrounded by a large relief wall, a bunker of the invading Japanese army, war sculptures and memorial features across a site of 5,190.98 square metres. It documents the Longling and Songshan campaigns of 1944: the Chinese Expeditionary Force forced a crossing of the Nujiang River on 4 June and, after three months and three days of fighting, annihilated the Japanese garrison at Songshan, in Longling county, by 7 September, at a cost Yunnan Daily gives as 7,000 Expeditionary Force dead, reopening the Yunnan-Burma corridor.
