Located east of the Zhang family's mansion, the Shenyang Finance Museum, formerly the Border Industry Bank, the private bank of Zhang and his son, is the largest museum of its kind in China. Founded in 1930, the museum features not only various original exhibition rooms but also several exhibition areas exploring the history of finance. Its collection of international currencies makes it a great place to learn about currency and history. The museum lobby features wax figures recreating the real workings of the bank back then. These figures can be startling at first glance, giving the illusion of being in "Night at the Museum."

In 1925, after the Border Industry Bank, founded by Zhang Zuolin, was officially established in Tianjin, construction began on a new site east of Zhang's residence in Fengtian. In 1930, the pistol-shaped building was completed, occupying 4,967 square meters and boasting a total floor area of 7,440 square meters. The main structure, with four stories in the front and two stories in the rear, showcases a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles. Six massive Romanesque columns carved from granite extend to the third floor, where a Western-style gatehouse rises above. Six columns crowned with tassels and decorated with flowers serve as decorative ornaments. Eleven stone steps form a tall platform in front of the gate, flanked by decorative lights. In addition to handling general banking business such as deposits, loans, discounts, and foreign exchange, the Border Industry Bank also has the right to issue currency and act as an agent for the national treasury, making it one of the largest banks in Northeast China, on par with the official banks of the three northeastern provinces. Its total capitalization exceeds 20 million yuan, and the Zhang family holds more than 95% of its shares. In fact, the Border Industry Bank is the private bank of Zhang and his son.
I went to the Finance Museum on my own, but I had to buy tickets at the Zhang Family Mansion. The tickets, two white, paper-like receipts, cost 30 yuan, which was a bit pricey. Buying the package would have been a better deal. It's a small place, and the mannequins in the entrance lobby gave me a start. The Zhang family's money in the basement had been stolen by the Japanese, leaving only the coin exhibits. It was only after visiting here that I, a layman, learned that our country has incredibly adorable panda commemorative coins. I love them. If you have time, it's a great place to explore.
The Shenyang Financial Museum is located east of the Zhang Family Mansion at No. 48, Shaoshuaishifu Lane, Chaoyang Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang. Tel: 024-24867711. The museum occupies the former site of the Border Industry Bank, once controlled by Zhang's father and son during the Republic of China era. Designed by a German architect, the building was completed in the early 1930s and designated a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit in 1996. The museum is divided into sections on the history of Northeast China's financial development, the story of currency, a financial theme park, and exchange exhibitions. The main building consists of two floors and seven sections.
Shenyang Financial Museum is located on the east side of Zhang's Mansion
Border Industry Bank, originally a private bank owned by Zhang and his son
It is the largest museum of its kind in the country.
It is a good place to learn about currency and history
After exiting Miss Zhao Si's building and walking forward, I saw a building with a distinctly old style, unlike the surrounding area. It turned out to be the Shenyang Finance Museum. It wasn't on my itinerary, but since I was passing by, I decided to go in and take a look. This museum, integrating science, art, knowledge, fun, and audience participation, is currently the largest, most diverse, and most engaging thematic museum in China. Currently, it features four major themed exhibitions: the "Border Industry Bank Reconstruction Exhibition," the "History of Northeast China's Financial Development Exhibition," the "Story of Currency Exhibition," and the "World Securities Exchange Exhibition Hall."
To the east of the Marshal's Mansion stands a Romanesque-style building, formerly the Border Industry Bank, the private bank of the Zhang family. It has now been transformed into a financial museum, a maze-like experience, from the realistic recreation of transaction scenes to the mysterious underground vault, allowing you to learn about a magnificent period in the history of financial development.
The Shenyang Finance Museum, housed on the site of the former Border Industry Bank, once controlled by the Zhang family during the Republican era, was designed by a German architect and completed in 1930. It is the largest museum of its kind in China, boasting the richest content, the most diverse displays, and the most engaging activities. Exhibits include the history of Northeast China's financial development, the story of currency, a financial theme park, and exchange exhibitions.
The exhibition combines science, fun and audience participation.
It's a great financial museum. The building itself is a historical building. The lobby is a very distinctive wax museum, and the rest of the museum is a rich financial exhibition. It's still very eye-opening after visiting it.
Just follow the signs and visit. This was the Border Industry Bank, a private bank invested by Zhang and his son. Here, you can see the underground vault, scenes of bank transactions in Northeast China during the Republican era, and various ancient and modern Chinese and foreign currencies.
I left home at 8:00 and walked to the Shenyang Finance Museum, also known as the Bianye Bank, at 8:30. A separate visit costs 30 yuan, while a combined visit with the Marshal's Mansion and Miss Zhao Si's Former Residence costs 50 yuan. Previously, the Marshal's Mansion and Miss Zhao Si's Former Residence alone cost 28 yuan. It was quite a bit of an extra 8 yuan for a separate visit. The internet said it opened at 8:30, but upon arrival I discovered that the Marshal's Mansion opened at 8:30, while the Finance Museum opened at 9:00. I sat on the steps by the main entrance, watched the gates open, and was the first to go in. There's one underground floor and two above-ground floors, where I saw the underground vault, the stock exchange, and currencies from various countries and eras. I left the museum an hour later.
(No. 48, Shaoshuaifu Lane, Chaoyang Street, Shenhe District, Shenyang City) Next to the Marshal's Mansion and Zhao Yidi's former residence, there is a large building. It was originally a private bank jointly built by Zhang and his son, the Border Industry Bank.
The Bianye Bank, now a relic of the past, serves as Shenyang's financial museum. It displays a variety of financial artifacts, introducing the history of finance and currencies of various countries throughout the ages.
You can buy it online and scan the code to enter. Senior tickets are 25 yuan, but you can only buy paper tickets at the window. Actually, I was quite surprised at first why visiting the Marshal's Mansion was tied to this museum. It turns out that it used to be a bank, the Border Industry Bank.
The Border Industry Bank was one of the largest banks in Northeast China at the time, with a total capital of over 20 million yuan. The Zhang family held over 95% of the shares, effectively making it the private bank of the Zhangs.
The museum recreates the grandeur of the bank back then.
Money, money, money, all I see is golden money💰.
We saw real gold and silver ingots here. The museum is very large and has many exhibits. It is definitely worth a visit if you have enough time. Unfortunately, we had to return at noon, so we could only take a quick look.
The first time I went there, I didn’t visit the Financial Museum.
This is my first visit and it feels very grand.
It systematically introduces the history of the development and changes of my country's financial industry since modern times. It is near the back door of Zhang's Mansion Museum.
This used to be the private bank of the Marshal's Mansion. It's like a maze inside. If you don't follow the route, you will get dizzy. Tourists can also go to the underground vault to take a look. I feel that it is more fun here than the Marshal's Mansion. Highly recommended!
Maybe it's because I'm not a finance major, I feel this place is very ordinary. I bought a combo ticket and could only come here for a look, and since I was in a hurry, I had to take a quick look.
As a museum, it is actually quite good. You can go underground through the thick iron door to visit the vault and see coins from various countries. There is also an exhibition in the basement with many authentic gold bars from the Tang and Song dynasties.
In fact, there were only a few tourists, but being among the wax figures was so lively and realistic.
Back then, the Northern Bank was here to stabilize prices.
The package ticket bought by Dashuaifu includes this museum. You can see a lot of financial development history of various countries. The internal route is also reasonable and good.
This is a great financial museum. It was formerly a bank built by Zhang Zuolin, and all the Zhang family's assets were here. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was transformed into a financial museum. Many of the exhibits inside retain their original appearance. My favorite part was the exhibition of world banknotes, which showed various banknotes from around the world. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos because photography is prohibited.
The museum is behind the Marshal's Mansion. After visiting the Marshal's Mansion and Miss Zhao Si's room, you will come out to the museum. You can buy a package ticket and pay attention to the opening and closing times.
The Shenyang Financial Museum is right next to the Zhang Academy and can be visited together. The museum is quite large and there is a lot to see, including knowledge about coins.
Very interesting, I turned it over and over again
A group of wax figures recreate the daily life of the financial world back then
The museum was built on the site of the Border Industry Bank, which was controlled by Zhang's father and son during the Republic of China period. The history of Northeast China's financial development and the story of currency are displayed one by one.
This is the first time I have learned about the financial history of Northeast China.
The Shenyang Financial Museum was built on the site of the Border Industry Bank, which was controlled by Zhang father and son during the Republic of China period. The building was designed by a German designer, completed in 1930, and listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 1996.
This is one of the attractions included in the Shaoshuai Mansion package. I think it's okay to see it for fun.
The afterglow of the Republic of China
The Shenyang Finance Museum, formerly the former office building of the Border Industry Bank, a private bank founded by Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang, is a German-designed, east-west hybrid structure with three floors above ground and one underground. Currently the largest museum of its kind in China, with the richest content and the most diverse exhibits and visitor-involved programs, it occupies over 7,440 square meters, with 5,100 square meters of exhibition space.
In the lobby on the first floor, wax figures dressed in Republican-era costumes simulate banking scenes. The six other exhibition halls feature exhibitions on Northeast China's finance, wealth and folk customs, and scenes from money shops, a restored vault of the Border Industry Bank, stories about currency, a financial theme park, and temporary exhibitions. According to statistics, the Shenyang Finance Museum boasts a total of 2,800 exhibits from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and international, many of which are extremely valuable financial relics.
Next to the Zhang family mansion, a must-see place if you want to understand the financial history of Northeast China
As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked to see a room full of wax figures, some standing and some sitting. It made me feel like I had traveled through time.
Located just east of the Zhang family's residence, the Shenyang Finance Museum was built on the site of the former Border Industry Bank, once controlled by Zhang and his son. Designed by a German architect, the bank was completed in 1930. The museum features permanent exhibitions on the history of Northeast China's financial development, the story of currency, a financial theme park, and exchange exhibitions, blending scientific and engaging content. Among similar museums nationwide, the Shenyang one is currently the largest and most comprehensive.
I am also from Shenyang, and I actually ignored the scenery around me. I should go out of the studio and see it when I have time.
I bought a package ticket to the Marshal's Mansion. Before I went, I thought it was a scam. But once inside, I didn't expect it to be so huge. I could walk around for a long time. The history of human currency development, the history of the Northeast region's economy, and various world currency exhibitions are so dazzling. Even if you don't want to go in, you won't regret it. It's worth a visit.
I bought a full ticket to the museum because I was a student. Eleven of us were quite a crowd, so I originally planned to just wander around after visiting Marshal Zhang's Mansion. I didn't expect this museum to be worth the price of admission. Not only is it very educational, but many of the items inside are very exquisite, especially the wax figures at the entrance that simulate scenes from past exchanges. They're really eye-catching. If you think Marshal Zhang's Mansion is too crowded, I recommend visiting here.
The Shenyang Financial Museum was built on the site of the Border Industry Bank, which was controlled by Zhang father and son during the Republic of China period. The building was designed by a German designer, completed in 1930, and listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 1996.
Apart from the wax figures on the first floor which are quite scary, I am not interested in anything else. This is a museum of currency history.
The first floor houses a wax museum, so lifelike that it's sometimes hard to tell the real from the fake. Upstairs, there are exhibitions related to Shenyang's financial industry, some of which are quite unique and can be skipped if time is tight. It's a feast for the eyes, with a wide selection of coins, giving you a detailed understanding of currency.
The first floor lobby uses puppets to recreate the actual transactions in the business hall of the Border Industry Bank in the past, which is very interesting. The exhibition hall is rich in content and worth the ticket price. For non-financial practitioners, it can be regarded as a scientific popularization.
Don't forget to visit this museum when you come out of the Marshal's Mansion. You need a ticket to enter. It shows the history of futures trading and the underground vault in Shenyang in the past. It is worth a visit.
The content is quite rich and it is worth the 30 yuan ticket price. Maybe because I work in finance, I found it quite interesting and spent two hours browsing alone!
A good place to learn about Northeast finance and Chinese coins.
There are a lot of bank buildings. I heard they were left behind from some old bank and are now museums. I didn't go in because I'm not rich.
This is the last attraction on the combined ticket. It's right outside the alley leading to Miss Zhao Si's former residence. I initially thought it was a bonus attraction, hoping to get my money's worth, but I found it much more interesting than Zhao Yidi's former residence. The lobby is filled with fascinating wax figures depicting bank transactions from the time. The exhibition halls are spread across several floors, filled with various financial-related exhibits. It's well worth a visit, and if you take your children with you, you'll learn a lot.

Kindly note that photography is prohibited in the Shenyang Financial Museum. Too much money...
I was startled when I walked in...and then...I blended in very well...
You can take pictures outside this place. If you are interested in banknotes, you can go in.
The Shenyang Finance Museum is located at the former site of Zhang Zuolin's Border Industry Bank, not far from his former residence. Upon entering, wax figures recreate the bustling atmosphere of the Border Industry Bank's lobby. The entire museum is richly centered around the history of finance, with each exhibition hall renovated from former Border Industry Bank offices, including the former underground vault.
The Financial Museum, built on the site of an old bank, used wax figures to recreate the bank's past. The figures were so lifelike that my friends who went there mistook them for real people.
Unexpectedly good, very large and rich in content. When I first entered, I thought it was a wax museum. There are many exhibition halls inside, which introduce the history of China's financial development from ancient times to the present. It is an eye-opener. It is right next to Zhang's Mansion and you can visit it by buying a pass.
Coming out of Zhao Yidi's former residence, go straight and turn left to arrive at the Shenyang Financial Museum. It is quite large. I have heard before that it is very large and you can stay here for a whole day. Since we really don't have the energy, we just walked through a few exhibition halls. When you enter the museum, there is a room with a scene of a bank in the Republic of China. Then after entering, there are exhibition halls with different themes. They are mainly about the history and development of currency, both domestically and internationally. They display various currencies and editions. It is quite complete. We may have walked through only a small part. If you are interested in finance and currency, you can come here to increase your knowledge. It is also a very good choice. You can really spend most of the day here, but you have to be interested. I was fresh at the beginning, but later I lost interest. After we saw four or five, we found an exit and slipped out.
Exhibition of Northeast Finance and popularization of monetary knowledge
After visiting the Marshal's Mansion, you can visit this museum. This is the former site of the Border Industry Bank, founded by Zhang and his son. The building is magnificent, and the interior structure is designed for banking purposes, with counter transactions, office space, and a vault and underground chamber. The wax figures of various creatures in the entrance hall after the museum conversion are vivid and worth seeing.
After watching the film, I felt deeply saddened by the bank's collapse during the war. Only a strong nation can prevent history from repeating itself.
The Border Industry Bank is worth a visit. This museum tells the story of financial circulation in the three northeastern provinces. It is very large. After seeing this, you will know how awesome the bank is. You can also experience the underground vault, which contains basically all the banknotes of many countries in the world, as well as the evolution of the RMB. People who like finance and economics must not miss this place. There are also many precious metal exhibits in it, and you can take pictures secretly. It is recommended to spend 2 hours to play, it is too big.
The content is very rich and exciting, but it is very tiring to walk around. It is definitely worth a visit and highly recommended.
The Financial Museum shows the scene of the financial center during the Republic of China in the form of wax figures. It looks like this. At least the characters' clothing and dress are similar to those on TV. The museum also displays the currency of the Republic of China and
The former site of the Shenyang Border Industry Bank, located directly east of the Marshal's Mansion, now houses the Shenyang Finance Museum. The Border Industry Bank was founded and controlled by Zhang Zuolin and his son, Zhang Xueliang. Designed by a German architect, the building boasts six massive Romanesque granite pillars, each one meter in diameter, extending all the way to the third floor. Above the third floor stands a Western-style gatehouse, also decorated with six smaller pillars and crowned with floral tassels. The two-story building is square and circular, forming a central courtyard. A doorway on the south side connects to the outside, and the bank's vault is exceptionally sturdy.
There are many wax figures in the lobby on the first floor, which are lifelike. Various currencies are exhibited in the museum. It is very good and worth a visit.
Looking from outside, I thought the place was full of people...Only after entering did I find that it was full of mannequins...The Financial Museum on the first floor has very realistic and detailed business scenes of the Northeast Bank of the Republic of China. You can appreciate and take photos, but you cannot sit on the stools or touch these sculptures.
Located east of the Zhang family's residence, the Shenyang Finance Museum is a magnificent Romanesque building. It was originally the site of the Border Industry Bank, the private bank of Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang. The museum displays a variety of ancient Chinese and international currencies, showcasing the development of Northeast China's financial industry. Wax figures recreate the prosperous scene of the bank's business hall in its day, creating a fascinating experience. Entering the museum is like stepping back in time to the 1930s. The teller staff are all wax figures, and the hall is bustling with people, some greeting each other, some depositing money, and others filling out deposit slips. The wax figures, dressed in Republican-era winter clothing, create a lifelike image of the bank's operations back then. You can also join the "crowd" and take photos. It's said that in summer, all the wax figures change into summer attire, allowing visitors to mingle with them, creating a truly engaging experience.
After crossing the hall, I entered the restored exhibition room of the president's office. From here, I could explore each exhibition hall in turn. Each hall displayed various currency items from the Warring States Period, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Republican Period, and the modern era. I could also see currencies from around the world, along with a dedicated display of metal coins, and even a RMB exhibition. The downside was that photography was prohibited in the currency section, which was perfectly acceptable. Visitors should refrain from using flash photography, as is the norm in many international museums. So, I immediately lost my interest in the place and left after a quick look.
The ticket for the Marshal's Mansion - Zhao Yidi's Former Residence - Shenyang Financial Museum is a joint ticket. The former site of the Financial Museum was the Border Industry Bank controlled by Zhang's father and son during the Republic of China period.
Note: The museum opens at 1:00 p.m. on Mondays. If you plan to visit these places, it is best not to go on Mondays. One afternoon is not enough. This is mainly because the Financial Museum is too large and there are too many exhibits to take your time to explore, including the history of financial development in Northeast China, the story of currency, a financial theme park, exchange exhibitions, and more.
It is well worth seeing, very interesting, there are many ancient and modern coins, many of which I have never seen before, very educational.

Bianye Bank, once the Zhang family's private bank, is now the Shenyang Financial Museum.
The wax museum reflects the working conditions of the bank at that time.
It's quite large. The lobby just after entering is filled with lifelike wax figures. The first section is the Northeast Finance Exhibition, which showcases the history of Northeast China's finance. Next is the Story of Currency Exhibition, which explains the history of currency, displays banknotes and coins from around the world, and the history of the RMB. It's quite informative and informative. If you're interested, plan a three-hour visit.

Its prototype is the Border Industry Bank, which is also the private bank of Zhang's father and son. The museum integrates science, knowledge, fun and audience participation.

It is still good. The former Border Industry Bank was the private bank of the Fengtian warlords. Later, as the Fengtian warlords were "incorporated", the Border Industry Bank also withdrew from history. However, with this historical accumulation, Shenyang is the financial center of Northeast China, and it still is today.
This place is quite informative. The lobby on the first floor is full of wax figures, which are suitable for various poses and photos.
The entrance fee to the Finance Museum is included in the ticket to the Zhang Family Mansion. It is located just outside the alley of Zhao Yidi's former residence. This is the largest museum of its kind.
The source of various money, development! As soon as I walked in, there were all dummies, it was scary
The Shenyang Finance Museum is located in downtown Shenyang, near the Zhang Family Mansion. Originally the Border Industry Bank, the private bank of Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang, it has been transformed into a prestigious financial museum. The museum retains the exterior and interior of the Border Industry Bank. The first-floor entrance features numerous wax figures recreating the bustling scene of the bank's early days. The subsequent exhibition halls showcase the Zhang family's financial history and the history of world currencies, each holding significant historical and professional significance. Museum admission is included with a ticket to the Zhang Family Mansion.
The Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Yidi's former residence, and the Shenyang Finance Museum are part of the Zhang Family Marshal's Mansion pass, originally priced at 60 yuan, with student tickets half price. I thought there was just a bank hall, but inside, I found ten exhibition halls. I almost didn't want to stop. The exhibition covers everything from the origins of money to its present day, and if you look closely, you can learn a lot.
This museum is adjacent to the Marshal's Mansion and is very large. It will take at least half a day to take a closer look.
The whole museum is quite large and is divided into many parts, telling the history and knowledge related to finance. The content is diverse and it took me a lot longer to visit here than I expected.
A super great museum. Maybe the boss is in finance, but there are real surprises when you go in. The ticket price of this museum is included in the ticket to the Marshal's Mansion. Everyone who goes in will be surprised at the first time, so let's keep it a suspense!
There are many exhibition halls inside, just like walking in a maze. The attractions attached to the Marshal's Mansion are generally good.
Our last stop of the day was the Shenyang Finance Museum. What stuck with me here was not only the frighteningly lifelike wax figures that brought to life the transactions, but also Franklin's words: "Remember the fact that money multiplies, blooms, and bears fruit." The Shenyang Finance Museum, formerly the site of the Border Industry Bank, a bank controlled by the Zhang family during the Republican era, was designed by a German architect and completed in 1930. The Republican-era architecture remains as beautiful as ever. Walking through it, you can collect and discover history, and experience the world of money. My daughter was so happy, but then her little airplane disappeared and she burst into tears. "Don't cry, Daddy will buy you another one, so that Daddy's money can bloom and bear the fruit of a little airplane."
