Three courtyards and the money house's security design
The front and middle courtyards contain the accounting room, correspondence room and the money house's layout. Iron-covered gates, wire barriers along the roof and hollow walls filled with sand show how the building was designed for security, fire prevention and moisture protection.
The underground silver vault is the most distinctive space in the complex. Its opening is about 80 cm square, and the bottom is about 3.6 m below ground, so the entrance is narrow. The coin exhibition suits visitors who want to understand the money used by the house and the commercial setting around it.
The live performance is optional
The live performance titled “Qianzhuang Fengyun (钱庄风云)” may be scheduled at around 16:30 and lasts about 20 minutes. The exact time, interaction format and charge follow the arrangement on the day.
Build your day
The full route: about 40–60 minutes
Enter through the front hall and accounting room, cross the courtyard to the middle hall and correspondence room, then continue to the underground silver vault in the rear courtyard. Finish at the coin exhibition on one side. This order introduces the money house's daily business before its security design and underground storage space.
The short route: about 20–30 minutes
With limited time, follow this order: entrance → middle hall → underground silver vault → exit. If there is a performance that day, use its scheduled time to decide whether to watch; if it conflicts with the visit, you can finish the silver vault and other main areas first.
Get there
Bus and old-city parking
Bozhou currently has no metro. You can take city buses such as Routes 1 and 21 to the old city. Once in the old-city attraction area, you can transfer locally or use a shared e-bike. If driving, set the destination to “Shupi Keng Parking Lot”; the parking location, charge and available spaces depend on the day.
Nanjing Lane Money House can be placed on the same old-city walking line as Bozhou Old Street, Huaxi Theatre and Cao Cao Underground Military Tunnel. The money house has its own entrance and ticket, while the public lanes of the Old Street are open separately.
Know before you go
Moving through the underground silver vault
The silver-vault entrance is narrow, so take care when entering and turning around. Visitors with reduced mobility or who are uncomfortable in narrow passages can ask staff whether an alternative viewing arrangement is available that day.
The money house is compact. Guide services and the live performance may cost extra, so ask whether they are included when buying a ticket. Confirm the ticket price, guide fee, combination-ticket terms and performance arrangement separately.
