Transportation to Daqing Bank

Daqing Bank
Daqing Bank of the Qing Dynasty, the earliest central bank in China, was founded in 1905. It was the oldest bank in Xijiaomin Lane, located at the intersection with Renmin Dahuitang West Road. Unfortunately, the two-story building was taken down in 1982, and now only a western arch with a grey carved iron-gate remains in the doorway. On the two sides of it are old houses with grey walls and black tiles. There is no plaque telling its story, making this site very inconspicuous.
