The highlights of the China Securities Museum are that, first of all, it is an excellent historical building in Shanghai, with a European style and gorgeous interior decoration. When it was built, it was used as a hotel. Zhou Enlai and his wife once lived there, and it has a glorious revolutionary history. Then, as a stock exchange, the building witnessed the development history of Shanghai Securities. Therefore, friends who like historical and cultural buildings should go and see it.
This is a free museum that does not require reservations. There are not many people. There are some exhibits and wax figures about securities. The highlight is that the original site was the Ritz Hotel and the Pujiang Hotel. The style of the old buildings has been preserved. You can also see the rooms where Zhou Enlai and Einstein lived upstairs.
This securities museum answered my long-standing questions. When I worked in an investment company, there would always be people beating gongs when clients invested. Although I found this a bit funny, I later visited the museum and found that not only life should have a sense of ritual, but also work should have a sense of ritual. It is used for opening the market. It is indeed a Chinese securities company. A country of etiquette👍🫨🥁
The securities hall is magnificent and grand, and the exhibits explain the development history of Chinese securities, and also show the development history of securities in the world. I learned more about the development history of the Ritz-Carlton, Paris, and took a walk through it to appreciate the history. It is highly recommended to visit.
A highly recommended attraction. It's easy to miss if the entrance is not amazing. The security guard asked me if I had made an appointment. I asked if I could make an appointment on site. He replied, of course. You need to show your health code and itinerary code, which is quite strict. A building with a story and an introduction to its history. I listened to a brief explanation on the third floor. Great.
