Travel tips

Rishengchang Bank is an important scenic spot that we can't see in Pingyao. Rishengchang Bank is the originator of the banking industry in China. The draft created at that time had very advanced anti-counterfeiting identification technology. It's best to ask a tour guide to explain when visiting.

Rishengchang, the first bank in China, is located in the bustling area of Pingyao Gucheng West Street, the first financial street in Daqing. Is the originator of Hyundai Bank in China. It took more than 100 years from the establishment to the bankruptcy of the draft bank in the early years of Qing Daoguang, which was once the "bull's ear" of China finance. Semicolons are distributed in 35 large and medium-sized cities all over the country, and their business is as far away as Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries. It is famous for "connecting the world" and is praised by Yu Xiansheng as the "country grandfather" of banks in China. (Yu's Shame on Shanxi) It is such a small courtyard, which pioneered the national bank in China and once manipulated the economic lifeline of the whole Qing Dynasty in the19th century.

In the Qing Dynasty, with the development of commercial economy, some large firms of Shanxi merchants gradually formed a commercial system with general numbers in Shanxi and semicolons in other places, operating across regions. In this case, large-scale wholesale, transportation and sales bring huge cash transportation business, so a new payment and settlement method-bank number exchange came into being. In the fourth year of Daoguang (AD 1824), the first Rishengchang bank in China was established on the basis of Pingyao West Street and Xiyucheng Pigment Store. Three years later, we set up branches in Shandong, Henan, Liaoning, Jiangsu and other provinces, and further expanded our business to Japan, Singapore and the 1940s. At that time, driven by Rishengchang Bank, Pingyao banking developed rapidly. At its peak, there were as many as 22 banks here, which once became the center of China's financial industry. It can be seen that Pingyao occupies a very important position in the modern financial history of China.

See Pingyao again.

You must watch Pingyao again when you come to Pingyao. You can buy group tickets online. This is the first large-scale situational experience drama in China. The film was directed by Wang Chaoge and invested 200 million yuan. Fixed two sections every day: 14:00 and 20:00, saving 90 minutes each (closed on Mondays, except legal holidays). "Looking at Pingyao again" is more like a museum, or more like a crossing. Sometimes we are like bystanders, and sometimes we are like witnesses. In one unrelated scene after another, we picked up the fragments of our ancestors' life: Pingyao City, Escort Agency, Zhao Family Courtyard, Market, South Gate Square in the late Qing Dynasty ... We got a glimpse of the story from many fragments.

The ancient city is not very big, even if it takes half a day to measure on foot, but self-help tourists usually choose to stay in the ancient city for one night. After turning to those already crowded scenic spots, looking at the old city walls and old houses with red lanterns in the sunset, listening to the dogs barking of ordinary people in the alley, everything will be quiet as a dream. Get up in the morning and flock to the breakfast stall with the locals to eat a steamed stuffed bun and drink a bowl of millet porridge. Out of the city gate, looking back at this dusty ancient city, I remembered another day.
