The very old history of Woori Bank, starting from Daehan Cheonil Bank๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท

#AustraliaFlightEvent #museum #Myeongdong #BankingMuseum Yesterday afternoon, I visited the Woori Bank Museum and vividly felt the footsteps of Daehan Cheonil Bank, which protected financial sovereignty during the Korean Empire!!.. Established in 1899 with the support of Emperor Gojong, this bank was in charge of tax transportation and currency issuance, protecting the national economy, and the determination of that time was conveyed intact throughout the exhibition hall!! In particular, I felt the weight of history by directly touching the original tax records and Sangpyeong Tongbo coins from the 1900s.. It was such an amazing experience!! ๐Ÿ“Œ Points for solo travelers Recommended experience: VR tax transport simulation โ†’ Ride a horse to collect taxes from all over the country (10 minutes, free) Hidden spot: Vault door replica on the first basement floor โ†’ Push open the 1-ton iron door and take a photo with the "Daehan Cheonil Bank" engraved on it Recommended snack: Museum cafe "Yupjeon Cream Bread" (6,500 won) โ†’ Bread with Sangpyeong Tongbo-shaped chocolate ๐Ÿšจ Notes Vault experience is only available until 5 p.m. Sneakers are required when using the VR device (severe vibration) Be careful that the Yeopjeon Cream Bread sells out after 3 p.m. You can see the national pride in the clause "No stock trading allowed for non-Koreans" while looking at the replica petition for the establishment of Daehan Cheonil Bank?? I made a virtual currency design at the experience zone and made it into a key ring (9,800 won), and I put the "Gwangmu 100 Years" pattern on it to embody the will of the royal family!! Double-entry bookkeeping ledger purchased at the museum store The note (12,000 won) had an impressive design that reproduced the accounting methods of the time!! The museum is so expensive, lol..
