Starting from May 27, 2016, the first “Y”-prefixed “Yungang” intercity tourist train in the history of Shanxi Railway will depart from Datong. One stop leads directly to Taiyuan, the provincial capital, and the travel time is shortened to less than 3 hours for the first time.

This tourist train consists of 6 hard-seat cars, 1 soft sleeper car, and 1 hard sleeper car. It runs once every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in both places. The specific train times are: Y665 (Datong-Taiyuan) departs at 14:00 and arrives at 16:58; Y666 (Taiyuan-Datong) departs at 17:58 and arrives at 20:56. It is understood that there are currently K1366, K7804, 2672, K7802 and other trains operating between Taiyuan and Datong, but the one-way trip takes 4 to 5 hours. From now on, the journey time will be greatly shortened by taking this direct tourist train.

At the same time, in order to allow people in both places to fully enjoy the benefits brought by tourist trains, the Taiyuan Railway Bureau and the Datong Municipal Government launched a "two-way 20% off" discount activity. Tourists holding tickets for this train can enjoy a 20% discount on the existing preferential fares at various tourist attractions in Datong City. Let people enjoy discounts and benefits in the process of "tourists becoming tourists, and tourists becoming tourists", thereby promoting the development of the cultural tourism industry.
