Synergy Qingpiaohao was founded in the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856) and closed in 1913, which lasted 58 years. During the opening period, there were 33 branches of Synergy Qingpiaohao all over the country, with the focus on the northwest and southwest. The cabinet room of the Synergy Qing Bank that we see now is the basic display of the counter of the bank back then. Synergy Qingpiaohao is now a large-scale bank courtyard in Pingyao. There are five courtyards in total. Each courtyard has different functions. After completing the formalities, go to the Beilan cabinet to withdraw cash, which is equivalent to the current cashier's room; the assistant room, sacrificial room, and manager's room of the third courtyard are the office space for the management personnel, and the fourth courtyard is the living area for the employees. Up to the shopkeeper, down to the employees must live in the ticket number. The fifth courtyard is where the treasury is located, and has very advanced anti-theft measures, among which the underground cellar (underground vault) is close to the current bank vault. The ticket number is now opened up as the China Bank Museum, which houses thousands of coins that were circulated and issued at that time. Under the courtyard of Synergy Qingpiaohao, there is a large underground treasury in Pingyao, which stored a large amount of gold and silver back then, as well as the treasure of Pingyao's town: a dragon pillar carved from camphor wood, and a cultural relic from the period of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. This dragon pillar was built in the very center of the entire "Turtle City" (the ancient city of Pingyao). Many tourists like to go to the underground treasury, touch this dragon pillar, and get rich. The air in the underground vault is relatively turbid, and the scenic spots will limit the number of people entering. The entrance and exit passages are narrow, so pay more attention to safety when playing, and tourists with respiratory diseases should enter carefully. There is also a folk hotel in Xie Xie Qing Piao, and there are earth pit caves in the hotel, which has the flavor of northern folk customs. If you stay in a folk hotel, tourists will be free of charge: first, you can visit the Qianzhuang (ticket number) museum for free, and second, you can visit the Chinese Coins Exhibition Hall for free.
