After failing to make it out of group stages 2 seasons in a row in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, the club moved to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, changed its name to Shanxi Metropolis F.C., and started the year by winning the 2018 Shanxi Super League by beating Shanxi Zhisheng in the finals. In their third attempt for promotion, they participated in 2018 Chinese Champions League and although narrowly missing promotion by being eliminated by Hangzhou Wuyue Qiantang at quarter-finals, then losing to Lhasa Urban Construction Investment 1–2 at home, they were later admitted into 2019 China League Two to fill vacancy left by withdrawn team Dalian Transcendence.
In March 2020, they changed their name to Shanxi Longjin F.C.
