Yucheng Postal Stop, Historical postal museum in Gaoyou, China.

The Yucheng Postal Stop spans 3,000 square meters and contains multiple halls displaying the development of Chinese postal services through different periods.

Established in 1375 during the Ming Dynasty, the station underwent several renovations, including major repairs after a fire in 1557 and restorations under three Qing emperors.

The postal station exhibits architectural elements from the Ming and Qing dynasties, representing the evolution of Chinese postal communication systems.

Visitors can explore the Museum of Chinese Postal History, which preserves and presents artifacts documenting the nation's communication methods across centuries.

The structure stands as the largest preserved ancient courier station in China, positioned strategically along the Grand Canal for efficient horse and boat transportation.
