Description
In 1932, the Japanese army , which occupied northeast China, placed the authorities in the former Transport Directorate of the Jilin-Heilongjiang Province Salt Company (the current location of the palace). In it, Pu Yi lived in a palace with four wives from 1932 to 1945.
The palace consists of 10 buildings built in various architectural styles: Gothic , Japanese and traditionally Chinese, and covers an area of 137 thousand m 2 . In addition to the main buildings for official events, the palace had an imperial garden, a tennis court, a swimming pool, canteens, as well as galleries of painting and calligraphy .
Since its opening in 1984, more than 4 million tourists have visited it. Investment in the project amounted to 600 million yuan (US $ 72.3 million). After restoration, the palace became a demonstrative model and research center on the history and culture of the state of Manchukuo. The Hippodrome, the pool and the rock garden, which originally existed in the Manchu-style palace, were also restored [2] .
