The Palace Museum of Manchukuo was once the palace of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who served as a puppet emperor of Manchukuo. He lived here from 1932 to 1945. Nowadays, the environment where Puyi once lived and worked has been restored here, displaying a large amount of historical materials and cultural relics, allowing people to understand the first half of the last emperor's life and the evidence of the Japanese invasion of China.
Entering the museum gate, the first thing you can see is Puyi's former imperial racecourse and flower cellar. To the east is the main building complex. In the Qinmin Building, where Puyi used to work, you can see the imperial clothing of that time. In the ancestral worship site of Huaiyuan Building, Puyi's "imperial driving" Pike brand sedan is parked. You can also visit Puyi and Empress Wanrong's sleeping quarters, the Jixi Building. In the Tongde Hall, entertainment venues such as the movie theater and piano room can be seen.
Continuing east is the Dongyu Garden, where you can see the imperial swimming pool and rockery, as well as the underground air raid shelter. You can also visit the calligraphy and painting collection brought by Puyi from the Forbidden City in Beijing at the Calligraphy and Painting Building.
Leaving the historical complex, you will see the steam locomotive produced in the United States in 1889. Across from the locomotive is the Northeast Occupation History Exhibition Hall, where thousands of historical relics are displayed, telling people the historical facts of Japan's invasion of Northeast China.
