Travel through a century of financial history and explore the Shanghai Securities Museum

In the magical city of Shanghai, there is a hidden treasure museum inside a century-old building—the Shanghai Securities Museum. Whether you are a history buff, a finance enthusiast, or just want to take some photos for your social media, this place is perfect! Today, I’m sharing my visiting guide with you all 👇 🏛️ Museum Introduction It was formerly the Pujiang Hotel, established in 1846 as China’s first Western-style hotel. Later, in 1990, the Shanghai Stock Exchange opened here. In 2018, it officially became the China Securities Museum, witnessing the birth and development of China’s securities market with a rich historical background! 📍 Detailed Address No. 15 Huangpu Road, Hongkou District, right at the north end of Waibaidu Bridge, super convenient for transportation. 🚇 Transportation Guide Exit Tiantong Road Station on Metro Line 12, then walk a few minutes to get there. 🕙 Opening Hours Open Tuesday to Sunday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM (last entry at 3:30 PM), closed on Mondays. Don’t forget, no visiting on Mondays! 🎫 Ticket Information Free admission, no reservation needed. Just go whenever you want! 📸 Must-Visit Photo Spots 1st Floor Peacock Hall: Exhibition on the reform and opening-up of China’s capital market, featuring a stunning crystal chandelier. This was once the first trading hall of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, recreating the working scenes of the “Red Vest” and “Yellow Vest” staff—great atmosphere for photos. 2nd Floor Licha Hall: Exhibition on the world and “Belt and Road” exchange culture, with a beautifully curved cello-shaped wooden inlaid floor, arched stained glass windows, and Roman columns—elegant and photogenic. 3rd Floor Room 311: The secret refuge of Premier Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao.
