Near Lanzhou: Jiang Wei's Command Platform at Yuegui Mountain (Yuegui Shan) in Lin Tao County

I'd previously heard that Jiang Wei's command platform in the Shu Han was located at the summit of Yuegui Mountain east of Lin Tao. Recently, with some friends, we drove about 100 kilometers from Lanzhou to the peak of Yuegui Mountain in Lin Tao to visit Jiang Wei's command platform.

I explained my purpose to the gatekeeper and headed to the small 'City Pool' of Jiang Wei's command platform. The main gate's beam was inscribed with 'Jiang Wei's Mound,' and the two-story wall façade prominently displayed 'Jiang Wei's Mound.'

We climbed up the steps, and on the second floor of the platform, there was a portrait of Jiang Wei.

Continuing upwards to the platform, we arrived at a square command platform. Standing on Jiang Wei's command platform, overlooking the Tao Yang Plain and surveying the surroundings, we could take in the entire Lin Tao city and the surrounding area of dozens of miles, causing us to exclaim spontaneously.

This mountain summit is undoubtedly a place of auspicious feng shui, and its commanding view is no wonder why Jiang Wei, a famous Shu Han general, chose this location for his command platform!

At this time, Mao Amin's song 'The Sky of History' was playing in my ears.

The lights of swords and knives were extinguished,

The scenery was swirling,

One by one, vibrant faces appeared,

The yellow dust of the ancient road was erased,

The watchtower on the frontier was desolate,

Time, you cannot take it away,

Those familiar names,

Who determines the rise and fall?

What about the fortunes of success and failure?

One page of the storm has dissipated,

Time and space have changed,

Gathering and parting are all about affection,

Fulfilling one's obligations before death, pondering after death,

The Yangtze River has feelings and sings,

The Sky of History shone with several stars,

A heroic spirit in the human world,

In the pursuit of roaming and conquering……
