"First came Fujia Dian, then Harbin." During the Qianlong era, immigrants from within the Great Wall gradually settled in Harbin. Later, more people migrated to Northeast China, and the Daowai area gradually became a bustling hub for daily life and commerce. In the early 20th century, with Tsarist Russia's ambition to plunder Northeast China's resources, the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway began, gradually forming a Chinese Baroque architectural complex with a "Western style outside, Chinese style inside." However, upon closer inspection, the exterior wall reliefs do not depict Western angels, but rather pomegranates, bats, peonies, and toads—symbols of many children, blessings, wealth, and peace—truly reflecting the deep-seated cultural confidence of Chinese merchants.

The Heilongjiang Provincial Museum is currently in the process of moving to its new building. Because the old exhibition hall is a small historical building, the number of exhibits is limited. The currently on-exhibition exhibition, "A Thousand Years of Porcelain Charm and Radiant Glazes: Fine Porcelain from the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum Collection," features 500 representative pieces (sets) selected from the museum's porcelain collection. These pieces are divided into two main sections based on glaze color and decoration: one category is colored glaze porcelain, and the other is painted porcelain. Many of the exhibits are exquisite.

As a non-chinese, you could ask the security staff for entry because scanning QR code to book a visit doesn't work for foreigners. I was surprised that the Chinese government took a lot of effort for this museum because the whole building is designed and built just for this particular exhibition. The whole exhibition doesn't show gruesome pictures or is scary as many might think. Instead, it is very eye opening by giving you a fuller picture and different angles of what this is all about, not just one side. However, as a lot of evidences related with the experiment were destroyed by Japanese Imperial Army or given to the Americans to grant amnesty for those involved, there are a lot of testimony content by the staff when the unit 731 was operational, which could or couldn't be fact checked. If you like anything related with WW 2, this museum is a must visit. Definitely there is no such museum in Japan but countries like Korea, China or Singapore who experienced atrocities from Japan during the war.
