Zhalantun History Museum
扎兰屯市历史博物馆（中东铁路俱乐部旧址）
A museum housed in the former Chinese Eastern Railway Club built in 1903, where the Russian-style wood and stone building is itself an exhibit.
The museum building was originally the Chinese Eastern Railway Club, built in 1903. During the Manchukuo period it served as a hot-spring hotel. It was converted into a museum in 2006 and is a national key cultural relic protection unit as part of the Chinese Eastern Railway architectural complex. The displays range from fossils of ancient organisms to the modern development of Zhalantun, including old railway-era photographs and artifacts. The sloping roof and carved wooden eaves are very photogenic. The museum is close to Suspension Bridge Park, so it can easily be visited along the way, taking about an hour. It is usually closed on Mondays.
