Yangguan (Chinese阳 关/阳 关, Pinyin Yangguan, South Pass / Southern Pass' ) is the name of an originally in the time of the Western Han Dynasty attached to the Chinese western border of Emperor Wu Pass about 70 km south-west of Dunhuang in today's Gansu province of the people's Republic of China. As the Jade Gate Pass ( Yumenguan ) he joined China with Central Asia.

The Yangguan Street ( Yangguan (da) dao ) - an important link in the so-called Western Regions ( Xiyu ) - led about him. Its name comes from the fact because he was in the south of the Jade Gate Pass. Since the Song Dynasty he lost importance and lapsed.

The Tang poet Wang Wei has pass and road sung. The passage facilities from the Han and Jin- time stand on the monument list of Gansu Province since 1961.
