The Shanxi Museum is a wonderful provincial museum managed by the government of Shanxi Province, home of some of the oldest history in China. The museum is located in Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi, in a modern four-storey building. It was wonderful collections of old history, Chinese money, architecture, Buddhist sculptures and much more. I'd be happy to write a full description if this listing is approved. I am not an official representative of this property but have clicked the box as you should seriously consider listing it.

Large museum in Taiyuan - looks very modern and very impressive architecture. Free admission, 4 storey building with several halls on each floor showing items from the different time periods in Shanxi & China history. Some fantastic exhibits, with most of the guide plates having English translation too. Great tea house inside the museum too, and an interesting shop, with everything from pocket-money souvenirs to expensive sculptures available.

As part of our Pingyo walking tour we went to the bank- was amazed at how it all started here in China. Old photos and relics helped acknowledge Pingyaos part in China's banking history
