Pingyao 17 - bank

Oct 2009
Most of the things we can visit in Pingyao are banks from the past centuries. What you can see on this picture is the room where money was kept. Those shiny things are the "coins" used at that time. One of those coins was worth a lot of money and wealth.
La plupart des choses que l'on peut visiter à Pingyao sont des banques des siècles passés. Ce que vous pouvez voir sur cette photo est la salle dans laquelle l'argent était conservé. Ces choses brillantes sont les "pièces" de l'époque. Une seule de ces pièces représentait beaucoup d'argent et donc une certaine réussite sociale.

  1. Hm, did they really use those bricks as coins? I mean, they look very heavy and uncomfortable... I wouldn't wear a bag full of them while I took a stroll, you know!

    nice photos, as usually.
