Taiyuan.Taiyuan Railway Station96.1 km from downtownHighlights:Shanxi is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese vinegar culture, especially Taiyuan's vinegar culture. As early as the Warring States Period, Shanxi began to brew vinegar, and Taiyuan, as the location of the ancient city of Jinyang, has a long history of vinegar brewing. Shanxi old vinegar is famous at home and abroad for its unique brewing process and mellow taste, and is known as the "No. 1 vinegar in the world." Donghu Vinegar Garden is recommended as a vinegar culture experience location. It is the first corporate and factory museum in Shanxi Province that dynamically displays the traditional and modern old vinegar production process and the historical and cultural connotation of old vinegar. Its predecessor was the famous Meiheju Vinegar Workshop in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which carries a thousand-year brewing history. Here, tourists can watch the vinegar brewing process up close and understand the steps of vinegar raw material selection, fermentation, distillation, aging, etc. In addition, there is a vinegar tasting session, where tourists can taste old vinegar of different years and feel its unique flavor.2 attractionDonghu Vinegar Garden6.4
