The Puppet Imperial Palace, Changchun’s only 5A-rated tourist attraction—this also seems to be a good excuse for raising ticket prices~~~~ Last time I visited, I bought a student ticket, but I didn’t expect the adult ticket to be 80 yuan per person. Fortunately, having an Agricultural Expo ticket got me a 20% discount. Actually, aside from the full-price tickets, the other tickets are quite reasonable: 30 yuan for military personnel and students. Audio guide rental is 10 yuan each; technically, everyone should rent one, but I also saw someone renting a guide and then retelling the information to benefit others… A human guide costs 60 yuan. If you need a more personalized, comprehensive, and systematic tour, hiring a guide is a good choice.
I won’t go into the history of Manchukuo here; for details, seeWikipedia
This place was the imperial palace at the time. It is mainly divided into the racetrack on the east side, the main exhibition area in the center, and the Northeast China Occupation History Museum on the west side.
Actually, history written by different people is always hard to be objective, especially in this Northeast China Occupation History Museum. So it’s better to learn more about the historical facts first, and then make your own judgments.
Since I only brought a 50mm prime lens, I was really helpless when it came to photographing architecture, but the f/1.4 aperture did come in handy in particularly dark places. The photos don’t have much content; if you want to see it, come visit yourself, haha.
Enough talk, here are the photos:
The racetrack—it was incredibly cold outside, and there was absolutely no one around.

I really don’t recommend visiting in winter; it’s rare to see even a tiny bit of green in the Imperial Garden…
It is said that Puyi suffered from impotence, so there was a dedicated pharmacy for aphrodisiacs.
