Gong'anbao

Gong'anbao was one of the fortified places on the plain northwest of Manas, along the northern foothills of the Tian Shan. A Qing account of Suilai lists it among a succession of forts west of a bridge, alongside Tong'anbao and Bai'anbao. These small strongholds belonged to a landscape of garrisons and cultivated land established in the region after the Qing conquest of Dzungaria.
