On the afternoon of March 16th, the "Being a Merchant" immersive exploration activity was held at the Qing'an Guild Hall. The event combines the latest basic display of the Qing'an Guild Hall, and guides each tourist to travel through time and space, transform into a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, and delve into historical sites through multiple stages such as role play and puzzle solving. Following the timeline, we can jointly trace back the long history of Ningbo.

It is learned that "Being a Merchant" is one of the promotion projects of the Qing'an Guild Hall's cultural and museum brand, and is an annual major event planned and launched by the Ningbo Cultural Heritage Management Research Institute. This activity takes advantage of the unique cultural heritage of the Qing'an Guild Hall- a World Cultural Heritage, combined with the popular "mystery solving script" elements on the market, to allow more citizens and tourists, especially young people, to visit the "World Heritage" at their doorstep.

This immersive exploration revolves around the naming rights of a merchant ship - by travelling the time tunnel, tourists can experience the prosperous scene of the Qing'an Guild Hall a century ago. In this battle of intelligence and endurance, tourists need to carefully search for clues, solve puzzles, and gradually move towards the final showdown. The winner will have the opportunity to obtain the naming rights of the merchant ship.

It is reported that this event will last for three days. The person in charge of the Qing'an Guild Hall revealed that a youth version of the "Being a Merchant" will also be launched in the future.
