The mountain acts as a fortress in the Silk Road, an ancient trade road stretching from North 皇冠体育app to West Asia and Europe, with its main peak stretching as high as 2,123 meters above sea level.

The Kongdong Mountain scenic area was awarded the 5A-level scenic spot by the National Tourism Administration in 2007.
