Home of Puyi, the last emperor of China and puppet emperor of Manchukuo, and centre of the Manchukuo administration at the time. Signage is available in English (and Japanese) although many of the artifact descriptions are in Chinese only. There is an audio tour rental fee of ¥40 although the recordings do not add much to what is already provided by the signage (¥100 deposit for equipment). English tour guides are available for ¥240. The grounds are nicely restored, since the site was repurposed as a factory during the Cultural Revolution. Scenes from the acclaimed 1987 film The Last Emperor were filmed here.
The Museum of the Imperial Palace of "Manchukuo" is a museum in the northeastern corner of Changchun, Jilin province, northeast China. The palace was the official residence created by the Imperial Japanese Army for the last emperor of China, Puyi, to live in as part of his role as emperor of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. The museum currently uses either Palace Museum of the Manchurian Regime or Palace Museum of the Puppet Manchukuo as its official English name for external use. It is classified as a AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.
