Official Unincorporated Bank

Guanyin refers to the northeast corner of Tianjin. In ancient times, Guanyin was an official financial institution established by the Qing government. When the eight-country coalition forces invaded Tianjin, countries set up banks in Tianjin, causing Tianjin materials to be depleted and financial disorder. The original Qianzhuang Yin number in China gradually shrank. In order to restore the vitality of domestic finance, the Qing government established the Zhili Guanyin in Tianjin, located in the northeast corner. Later, the Beiyang government organized the Zhili Provincial Bank on its site according to the bank regulations, becoming an institution to raise military expenses. Guanyin quickly developed into a modern financial institution for industrial development services, promoting the rectification of the financial order in the north. Old Tianjin people have a deep love for Guanyin, so the place name of Guanyin has been used to this day.

Guanyin is a unique existence in Tianjin, is the historical witness of Tianjin's recent and modern financial development. At a very young age, I always heard the old man in the family mention the official silver number, thinking it was a place name, listening to strange, and later knew that it was these three words, only to know that it was the official financial institution of the Qing government. Now this is the location of the Tianjin Bank, you can come and visit to find out when you have time.

Guanyin is a financial institution officially established by the Qing government. The current building is the restored Guanyin Building. The original site is directly opposite it. It is already a residential apartment with the name of the Zhongjiao Haihe Mansion. Guanyin Building is still very beautiful and worth visiting.

It is said that this is the former official Qianzhuang, built in the Qing Dynasty, and has a history of hundreds of years. Unfortunately, the exhibition room is not open, and the newly built building next to it has become the building of the Bank of Tianjin.
