Abstract: Du Fu composed nearly four hundred poems during his residence in Kui Zhou. Among the poems, the writing of‘cityscape’centred on Kui Zhou and radiating to the Central Plains, Jing Chu and Wu Yue is characterized by not only outlining the trajectory of the poet's wanderings for most of his life, but also deeply presenting his unique life experiences and emotional projections of different cityscapes. At the level of natural landscapes, Du Fu experienced the steepness and strangeness of Kui Zhou's landscapes, the freshness and softness of Xia Xiang's landscapes, and the profoundness and heaviness of Jing Hua's landscapes. At the level of humanistic landscapes, Du Fu learnt the style of Shu Han from the historical relics of Kui Zhou, felt the style of Spring and Autumn through the historical relics of Jing Chu and Wu Yue, and got an insight into the historical image of the flourishing and declining of the Tang Dynasty in the palaces and platforms of Chang An. This aesthetic differentiation is not only rooted in Du Fu's later years in a difficult, sickly and worrying situation, but also influenced by the unique natural geography and humanistic features of various cities, and closely related to the complex and diverse geopolitical patterns of the regions he was involved in.

Key words: urban landscape, Du Fu, Kui Zhou, aesthetic divergence, geopolitics
