The Museum of the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo, also known as the Puppet Emperor’s Palace, is located in Changchun, China. From 1932 to 1945, this palace served as the residence of Puyi, the last emperor of China, during his tenure as the ruler of Manchukuo, a nominally independent state under Japanese control. Visitors can explore the opulent interiors, including Puyi’s wife’s opium den, and see his American car and private racecourse. These elements provide vivid insights into the life and times of Puyi, offering a tangible connection to a complex period in Chinese history.
