Wulipu (Chinese: 五里铺镇; pinyin: Wǔlǐpù[2] Zhèn; lit. 'five Li relay station for post horses') is a town in the northwest corner[3] of Shayang County, Jingmen, Hubei Province, China. The name 'Wulipu' means 'a message relay station (zh:驿站) for post horses[2] five Li away from the city'.
History
In early 1928, elements from the Chinese Communist Party participated in a violent agrarian uprising that erupted in Wulipu's Jinjiahu (靳家湖).[4][5]
The two major incomes of the town are agriculture and tourism. The government of Shayang is trying to develop a tourism business based on cole flower fields in the area and holds an annual event for those interested in the flowers (油菜花旅游节).[10]
