Aihui History Museum
瑷珲历史陈列馆
A modern history museum built on the site of the old Aihui New Town, telling the story of the Treaty of Aigun and the 1900 Blagoveshchensk massacre, with the Kuixing Pavilion and ancient city ruins nearby.
The Aihui History Museum is in Aihui Town, about 30 km south of central Heihe. It stands on the site of the Qing-era Aihui New Town, the former headquarters of the Heilongjiang military governor, and it is a national patriotic education base. The exhibition centres on the signing of the Treaty of Aigun in 1858 and the 1900 incidents at Blagoveshchensk (Hailanpao) and the sixty-four villages on the east bank of the Amur, and it uses reconstructed scenes to tell the modern history of the Heilongjiang basin. Highlights include a model of the ancient Aihui city and the "1858" wind-chime wall. Outside, you will find a rebuilt Kuixing Pavilion, remnants of the old city wall, an ancient pine grove and views over the Heilongjiang (Amur) River. Entry is free, but you need to show your ID card. The museum is usually closed on Mondays.
