Dongjiguan Mountain
Dongjiguan Mountain (Chinese: 东鸡冠山, meaning "East Cockscomb Mountain") or Tongchikuan Mountain is a hill in Lushunkou District, Dalian, Liaoning, China, where the Imperial Russian Army had built a fort on the north side of this mountain to defend the Lüshun Naval Port.[1]
During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05, the Japanese Imperial Army, after several unsuccessful assaults, conquored it in December 1904, one month before the ceasefire. The Russian General Roman Kondratenko was killed in one of these assaults.[2]
Dongjiguan Mountain is now part of the Dongjiguan Mountain Scenic Area where all domestic and foreign visitors can learn the history of the Russo-Japanese War.
