Jianmen Pass (simplified Chinese: 剑门关; traditional Chinese: 劍門關; pinyin: Jiàn Mén Guān; lit. 'Sword Gate Pass') is a mountain pass located southwest of the city of Guangyuan in Sichuan province. It has also been called "Jianmenguan Pass"; however, that form is redundant since guān means "pass" in Chinese.
