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]

In 2000, a cache of Chu (state) Warring States period funerary artifacts dating to 340-300 BC was unearthed in eastern Wulipu's Zuozhong village during the construction of the G55 Erenhot–Guangzhou Expressway, locally the Xiang(yang)-Jing(zhou) Highway (襄荆高速公路).[3][4][6]

In March 2001, Shayang County's Caochang Township (草场乡) was disestablished. The former township became part of western Wulipu.[3][7][8]
