Pingyao Ancient City Tourist Attractions - Riseng Chang Ticket

#0YenTravel2025Autumn

As China's first "piaohao" (financial institution dealing in paper money and bills), this important site marks the beginning of the modern banking system from the early 19th century. 
The building itself is a typical example of merchant architecture, making it a fascinating museum where visitors can experience the theme of finance through a combination of residential and merchant architecture. 
This is a key spot for learning about the flow of money and commercial culture that supported the prosperity of Pingyao, the "merchant town."

👍Recommended Points:
By carefully examining the exhibits (bills, ledgers, and models of merchant houses) within the museum, you can get a sense of the commercial and financial systems of the time.
Since the English explanations are somewhat limited, using a smartphone translation app can help you understand more.
After your tour, take a break in the nearby cafe or garden to feel a little like a merchant of old.
