Heihe Educated Youth Museum
知青博物馆
A large museum on the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement. It recreates the lives of Beidahuang sent-down youth with artifacts and period scenes, and sits next to the Aihui Historical Museum.
Heihe Educated Youth Museum is located in Aihui town, not far from the Aihui Historical Museum. It is one of the larger museums in China devoted to sent-down youth. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Heihe area received large numbers of young people from Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Zhejiang and other places. Through letters, diaries, farming tools, old photographs, and reconstructed dormitories and company canteens, the museum tells the story of their frontier land reclamation and border defense. Former sent-down youth often return to visit. Admission is free, and the museum can be visited in the same half-day as the Aihui Historical Museum.
