731部队罪证遗址

a far out from the city center... this musuem is best to reach by taxi if you are not adventureous to go by bus... this musuem covers the brutal experiments conducted by the japanese during their occupation period on frostbite test, germs etc on chinese people... before entering into the museum proper, you will go through an asileway of deceased who died from this place... worth a visit but unfortunately, the building and exhibits are partial during this time of visit and rennovation seems to be underway...

In the last 4 years there have been many improvements to this site. More rooms are open and they are doing excavations out the back. There are now audio guides ( not an improvement on the personal guided toured we had last time) and videos showing the types of experiments carried out. 731 is a must for all and a reminder of the worst of human nature.

Unfortunately there are no English captions on the pics/displays and no English audio tour (although I had read that there were in old travel guides). There were Chinese and Korean audio tours. While the pics are interesting, most are of people - like portraits - or general things like armies/military meetings, etc. There are very few pics/displays that can be identified without help from captions. What there is is interesting (a 3D model of one kind of chemical warfare experiment the Japanese would do and one horrible re-enactment video of the frostbite-curing experiements). But I would have slightly misinterpreted what these were showing if not for my mom, who was listening to the Korean audio guide. Given the difficulty in understanding I might not suggest English-only-speaking people go... which is too bad bc I was so interested in this and looked forward to learning more details.The place is also pretty far from town - if you do want to go make sure to hire a taxi and agree to have him wait for you to take you back. It was 200RMB roundtrip for us although he argued once we got back. The whole journey probably took around 3 hours. Don't forget to bring your passport - our driver took them all and got our tickets for us.

As a student of History I wonder how the free world would punish and condem the Axis powers of war crime and ignore what the Japanese did to the people of China. I now know that the United States Government ignored what took place in China.What was done here was used to faclitate my own governments advance in inhuman treatment of our fellow humans in the world. We as Americans are as guilty as those that built and used the concertration camps. I am ashamed.

When you arrive here it immediately feels like a haunted building in the same way that concentration camps have an air of death around them. I had heard about the atrocities commited here mainly from the infamous exploitation movie 'Men Behind the Sun', and to my surprise they were playing extremely graphic clips from the film, showing various experiments. I found this quite innapropriate, especially as there were children present. The audio guide and the displays would have been sufficient and your imagination can do the rest. A shlocky b-movie cheapened the experience. The 15 yuan audio guide is probably worthwhile. At first it seemed to just be an aural version of the english information boards, but as you go round the displays become few and far between and the audio guide gives you much more detail. Previous reviews mention the anti-Japan bias. Maybe they've toned it down since. I didn't find it went overboard, and there was a room dedicated to Japanese members of unit 731 who later repented, and this seemed to point towards forgiveness, not just bitterness. Definitely worth a visit considering it's free. Get the 338 bus (as well as leaving from Kunlun hotel in the centre, there's a stop somewhere on Hexing road for those staying towards the south of Harbin) or the 343 (goes down Xuefu road)

日本的罪行，几世代人都不能忘记的。看了731部队罪证遗址，更加痛恨小日本。那一副副图片，告诉我们，以前小日本在中国所犯下惨为人道的历史。记住历史，奋发图强，时刻不住这段这仇恨。

日本当年侵华可是有铁证的，731部队在那时对我国人民进行侵略手段极其残忍，我们要铭记着历史，不能忘记屈辱。印象很深的是那些图文并茂的图片，生物科学有时候挺可怕的，看到老百姓痛苦的表情，觉得他们太没有人性了，同样是人类为啥要互相残害。

It takes about 45 minutes to get there by taxi. We paid a taxi driver to wait for us as it gave us peace of mind in getting back. The museum was interesting although but it has limited English signage. The staff were friendly and its free to get in (you just need your passport). I learnt about 731 at high school (many years ago!) and felt that I had to go there. The main building certainly has a very dark feel to it and I suggest doing some research about its history as there is no audio guide in English available (when I was there anyway). It is definitely part of suburbia now as there is a primary school directly next to it. I wouldn't put it on my 'must do' list but if you have the time and like WW2 history its worth the trip out there.

I wasn't interested in visiting this place and after visiting it was at loss for words. It is a perfect example of what monsters can do and what we have all forgotten and forgiven. While standing there at the gates after I had exited this house of horrors, I couldn't stop wondering what must have gone through every one of those victims entering this place knowing that this is going to be the last they are ever going to see the outside world. It's funny when I read some of the comments here stating there should have been a more un-biased approach. Don't miss this place.

虽然地方不大 但是还是值得一去的他是限时间的 限人数的 一定要挑好时间不然真的不能进去 管理很严格的那天看完之后出去 天下起了毛毛细雨 顿时心情也变得更加沉重铭记历史 好好生活~
