About

A building covered in red brick and black tile holds a stillness as though it has stood on this ground since long ago. The moment you step inside, what catches the eye is the wooden columns descending from the ceiling and the delicate carvings stretching above them — air flowing within a stillness as if time itself had stopped. This place once served as a gathering hall where merchants met to deliberate, but now it is a space where the history and culture of salt flow freely. Walking through the galleries, the shadows of ancient artifacts hung along one wall slide across the floor, while behind them the course of the river that once carried salt unfolds like a metaphor. Visitors feel as though they are setting out on a journey into the past, immersed in the atmosphere where the building's history and artistry intertwine.
