This guild for merchants from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu is an elaborate complex in downtown Kaifeng. It was originally built by the offspring of Xu Da, one of the founders of the Ming Dynasty. In 1778, during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt as a guild. One of its interesting features is its beautiful stage.
