Yuci Old Town is located in Yuci District, Jinzhong City, about 30 kilometers away from Taiyuan City. When tourists from other places come to Taiyuan, they will visit Yuci Old Town and Taiyuan's scenic spots together. The old city was built on the former site of Seoul in the second year of Kaihuang (AD 582), and has a history of more than 1,400 years.

Yuci Old Town has three gates: East Gate, West Gate, and North Gate. Entering through different gates, there are different tour routes, but most tourists enter through the East Gate and exit through the East Gate. After you buy a ticket from Dongmen Square and enter the ancient city, you can tour along the route of Dongmen-Chenghuang Temple-West Garden-County Government Office-Mingqing Street-Confucian Temple-Fengming Academy-Ximen Wengcheng.

After entering the ancient city, it seems to have started a time travel. Looking around, there are ancient houses, ancient city walls, ancient county government offices, ancient streets, and ancient shops. You can go to the Chenghuang Temple in the city. The main hall here is exquisitely constructed. The 25-meter-high Xuanjian Building in front of the hall was once rated as one of the most beautiful ancient buildings in Shanxi. You can also go to the Yuci County Government Office on the north side of Dongjie Street. This is the most well-preserved county-level government office in my country. The scale and organizational system of the county government office reflect the "sitting north facing south, left writing right" The traditional ethics thought of "Wu, go to court and sleep later". The Confucian Temple, Fengming Academy, West Garden and other places in the city are also full of historical sadness. When playing in the ancient city, you can also see a lot of various performances with local folk characteristics, such as: folk society fire performances, county grandpa's ascension to hall, Bawang whip, gongs and drums singing and dancing, etc.

The ancient city is still a well-known film and television city, and it is the filming location of famous TV dramas such as "Fan Family Courtyard", "Qiao Family Courtyard", "Lyagosbane Flower". Filming here. There are many stalls for taking pictures of ancient costumes and military uniforms on the South Street of the ancient city; if you are tired from shopping, you can also go to the North Street of the ancient city, where you can eat traditional Yuci snacks such as brains and enemas.
