The Dongcha Anti-Japanese Base is located 18–30 kilometers northwest of the city. To the east, it is bordered by the natural barriers of the Laoling Mountain Range and the dense forests of Xiaoyeling. To the west and south, steep mountains and overlapping ridges obstruct transportation. The ever-flowing Mayi River originates from the foothills of Xiaoyeling in the east, gathering various streams before flowing into the Hun River. This area features deep mountains, dense forests, complex terrain, and is easily defensible yet hard to attack. General Yang Jingyu once led the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army to establish the Dongcha Anti-Japanese Base here. The base stretches approximately 10 kilometers in length and covers an area of about 125 square kilometers.
