协同庆钱庄博物馆

One of the lesser known facts about Pingyao- a small city in the province of Shanxi- is that it was a major innovator in the world of Asian banking. In the eighteenth century, the town had a number of financial houses, offering bank drafts, storage of silver coins and other early financial services. There were also a number of armed escort services for people wanting to transfer money to other services. While this is an interesting episode of history, you could not really rate these early banks as more than average sights, as the range of exhibits on display in this museum is fairly limited. Nonetheless, worth a quick look if you are in Pingyao.

前几天我们一行几人去山西平遥旅游，电瓶车司机建议我们去协同庆钱庄博物馆参观。去了一看还真是有意思的。他的规模比其他的大，保存的很好，很完整的展现了当时钱庄的样子。在我们参观的同时看到当时人的聪明与智慧。
