Yuci Old Town boasts a history of over 3,000 years. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yuci was known as Tushui and Weiyu, and during the Warring States Period, it was renamed Yuci, belonging to Taiyuan Prefecture. It is one of the best starting points for exploring the Shanxi Merchant Culture Corridor. Yuci Old Town was built in 582 AD (the second year of the Kaihuang era of the Sui Dynasty) on the site of the old Han Dynasty city, and has a history of over 1,400 years. Yuci Old Town is rich in history and culture, with unique tourism resources. It integrates ancient residences, city walls, county government offices, temples, streets, and shops, as well as natural scenery such as mountains, rivers, forests, springs, and waterfalls, blending Shanxi merchant culture, ethnic culture, Yellow River culture, Shanxi culture, and urban culture into one. At the same time, the simple folk customs and colorful folk arts of central Shanxi give the old town its spirit and vitality, cleverly blending nature, culture, history, and art. Films and television dramas such as *Qiao Family Courtyard* and *Going West* were filmed here.

Reviews: Eurail Global Train Pass [Official Agent/Issuance of Tickets Immediately/Travel in 33 European Countries/Cross-border Use, Unlimited Times]
Guest User2026-01-18
I'm a European exchange student living in Germany. Knowing that I could conveniently travel to other countries by train, I purchased a Eurail Pass. At the time, there was a promotional discount of about 20%, so I got it for about €100 less. I was very satisfied with the price. I could choose to use 15 days within two months, which was incredibly convenient. I highly recommend it.
