The childhood's Xiao Hui Lou, the Coin Museum!!!

The Xiao Hui Lou in Shijiazhuang, a museum that 99% of people don't know about. As a local, I've known about the 'Xiao Hui Lou' that my parents often talked about since I was a child. It is located in the Xinhua District and has become an unforgettable memory for a generation of people in Shijiazhuang. The People's Bank of China and the first set of RMB were born here, and the financial business of New China started from Shijiazhuang. The renovated Xiao Hui Lou has been rebuilt into the former site of the People's Bank of China and the Coin Museum, with full-body bronze statues of Dong Biwu and Nan Hanchen standing in the front yard. The Xiao Hui Lou has three floors, not large in size but with a long history! The first and second floors are respectively the history of RMB development, the currency of the red regime, the history of the People's Bank of China, ancient coins and some office displays, and the third floor is not open to the public. The only regret is that I hope more ancient coins can be displayed for children and adults to appreciate. Visiting hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday 9-11 am, 2:30-4:30 pm The staff said it's best to call ahead to confirm Hebei Coin Museum (55 Zhonghua North Street) It's not easy to park at the entrance, it is recommended to take the subway (get off at the City No.2 Middle School on Line 3 and walk for four minutes) No need to book online but need to bring ID (registration required at the door) Secret tips: Bags cannot be brought in, need to be stored at the entrance. You can take photos on the first floor but not on the second floor. In addition to the coin relics in the museum, the architectural design also reflects the style of that year
