Ningbo Banking Guild Hall, Historical banking hall in Haishu District, China.

The Ningbo Banking Guild Hall features traditional Chinese architecture with wooden carvings and spans approximately 5,000 square meters across multiple chambers and stages.

Built in 1191 as a temple to sea-goddess Mazu, the structure underwent multiple reconstructions until Fujianese merchants restored it in the mid-19th century.

The building contains a front stage for traditional opera performances, where deities were believed to watch shows during festival celebrations.

The site functions as a museum displaying maritime artifacts, including wooden steering wheels from shipwrecks and scale boat models from eastern Zhejiang.

The hall preserves stone carvings and tile work depicting Chinese mythology scenes alongside red wood artistry from regional craftsmen.
