Wuzhang Plains

The Wuzhang Plains (五丈原) are plateaus near the Wei River in China.

In actuality, the plains are situated 12 m from sea level, 1 km wide from east to west, and 3.5 km long from north to south.

The hazardous plateaus were the site of the Battle of Wuzhang Plains during the Three Kingdoms period of China, in which the famous Shu statesman Zhuge Liang died of sickness.

At the present, the Wuzhang Plains are a designated scenic region where relics of the Three Kingdoms period scattered across the plains.

Because it is known as the site where Zhuge Liang died, many poets of old have journeyed here and left their mark.
