Unit 731 Museum
侵华日军第七三一部队罪证陈列馆
A national-level memorial museum on the site of Unit 731 in Pingfang District, exposing the crimes of Japanese Army bacteriological warfare and human experimentation.
The museum is built on the former headquarters site of the Japanese Army's Unit 731 in China. The new building opened in 2015 and is shaped like a torn black 'black box.' Through archives, artifacts, and testimonies, the museum systematically exposes Unit 731's crimes of bacteriological warfare research and human experimentation. The former site also preserves remnants such as the headquarters building, boiler-room ruins, and animal housing rooms. Admission is free, but visitors must make reservations with their ID card. The museum is closed on Mondays. The content is heavy, so plan for 2 to 3 hours. It is about 25 kilometers from the city center. Take Metro Line 1 to Xinjiang Street station, then transfer to a bus or take a taxi.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 09:00–16:30; closed Mondays
