Lü Bu’s Command Platform

Lü Bu’s Command Platform

Puyang Mountain is located southwest of Xiangcheng Town and has an elevation of 251.2 meters, standing opposite to Mount Yi from east to west. At the eastern foothills of Puyang Mountain, there is a relatively prominent and flat elevated area, which is said to be the site of the command platform of Lü Bu from the Eastern Han Dynasty and is a key municipal cultural relics protection unit. According to records, Lü Bu, styled Wenhou, fought against Cao Cao for control of Yanzhou but was defeated and retreated to the foot of Puyang Mountain. He named the mountain “Puyang Mountain” in nostalgia for his hometown, Puyang in Henan.

Puyang Mountain is covered with peculiar rocks and lush vegetation. Within the mountain, there is a clear spring known as “Luoxia Spring.” Local residents say this spring water has miraculous effects on whitening the skin, moisturizing, and enhancing beauty.
