Located in the north of Ruicheng County, near Zhonglongquan village. Shiji recorded “In the sixteenth year of Duke Xian's reign, Zhao Su was the charioteer and Bi Wan was the right-hand man, leading a campaign to attack Huo, Geng, and Wei, which they destroyed. Geng was enfeoffed to Zhao Su, and Wei was enfeoffed to Bi Wan”. Sun Shoujie marked the Wei city to the north 2.5 km of Ruicheng County. The Shanxi Institute of Archaeology surveyed the city.
