Start by visiting the Puppet Emperor’s Palace (Wei Huang Gong). Although it is now part of history, the Museum of The Imperial Palace of Manchukuo serves as a reminder of the dark times during that era. It was here that Puyi, the last emperor of China, was placed as the nominal head of state by the Japanese. Located in the northeast of Changchun City, the palace is a series of buildings that differ greatly from modern architectural styles. The palace stands as a testament to the Japanese invasion of Dongbei (northeast China) and the royal tragedy of Puyi and his concubines. The visit will last for 3 hours.
- Eight Departments of Manchukuo - Enjoy a lunch break and try some famous local cuisine. After lunch, proceed to Badabu (Eight Departments of Manchukuo).
In 1932, the Japanese established a State Council with Puyi, the last emperor of China, as its head. Known as Manchukuo, it governed from 1932 until 1945. The council comprised eight distinct ministries: the Department of Public Security, Department of Judicature, Department of Economy, Department of Transportation, Department of Agriculture, Department of Education and Culture, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Department of Sanitation, and Zonghe Faya (the supreme ministry of justice). These departments were housed in buildings located in the city center, each with its own unique and distinctive characteristics.
- Changchun Century Square - Continue to Changchun Culture Square, the largest leisure square in Changchun with a 70-year history. The square features a sunbird sculpture at its center, with an open-air music platform to the north and a Geology Palace Building at the northernmost point. The square’s axis is paved with natural granite, and the areas on both sides are green spaces and garden paths, home to 3,000 pigeons. It has been a popular spot for local recreation since it opened in 1996.
Finally, you will be transferred back to the hotel.
