      Reviews from Travelers

    • Zechuan This is a museum themed on varieties of coins and commemorative coins. The building itself is a historical site.
      Seth It is the most authentic numismatic museum in China. The exhibitions on the first floor seem to be changed sometimes. Exhibitions on the second floor show coins from dynasty to dynasty.
      Cafe The coins here are complete, including paper money, metal coins, and coins of foreign countries.
