Wei Capital, or Xuchang City in Henan Province, is a famous historical and cultural city in China, famous for being the capital of the Cao Wei regime during the Three Kingdoms period. As the core area of "Wei Capital", Xuchang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with a history of more than 2,000 years, and was once the political center for Cao Cao's military and state affairs, leaving behind many cultural relics of the Three Kingdoms, such as the Chunqiu Building (where Guan Yu resigned from Cao), Ba Ling Bridge (where Guan Yu picked his robe), and the residence of Cao's prime minister. Nowadays, as the core urban area of Xuchang City, Weidu District has retained its deep historical heritage and renewed the vitality of a modern city, and is an important window for exploring the culture of the Three Kingdoms and experiencing the civilization of the Central Plains, as well as a bright business card of Xuchang, a national historical and cultural city.
