A moving but sad experience that should be on every ones list when in Harbin
Amanda H,Jan 11, 2025

5.00A very emotional and sad tour dealing with a horrible chapter in Chinas history at the hands of the Japanese. The museum is laid out to display the evidence of the atrocities and this evidence in the displays make it even more powerful and shameful. Our guide Kelly, was very well researched on the topic and was so helpful. Even though she conducts this tour she was still moved by it. Highly recommend you visit to understand the recent history.
