Red-brick former government building and museum
The former site is northeast of the intersection of Zhongshan Street and Baowei Road, beside New-Mart.

The museum focuses on revolutionary history in Northeast China, including the strategic relocation and land reform in Hejiang.

Choose your visit
The building exterior
The red-brick walls, arched windows, and entrance tower are the building's main exterior features. During the day, you can look at the façade and entrance details from outside. Be considerate of the surrounding site when taking photographs.
First-floor galleries and restored rooms upstairs
The full exhibition includes galleries on the Yan'an Decision and Strategic Relocation and the Hejiang Land Reform. Upstairs, restored provincial government offices and living quarters sit alongside exhibits such as the Northeast Daily. If you have limited time, the office rooms upstairs give a quick sense of how the site was used.
A visit for local and modern Chinese history
The historic building and exhibitions may interest visitors who want to learn about modern Northeast China and local history, and the museum can be combined with a walk through the city center. Weekday mornings tend to be quieter. If you only want to see the building, you can stop outside while the museum is closed, but the galleries will not be accessible.
For a separate Tongjiang heritage walk, see Tongjiang Heritage Walk.
For an open riverside route in central Jiamusi, see Jiamusi Riverside Walk.
Build your day
A 30-to-40-minute highlights route
After completing the required registration, go upstairs first to see the revolutionary history exhibits and restored office, then return to the first floor to visit the galleries or get a stamp. This route suits visitors on a tight schedule; arrive before the 16:00 last-entry time.
A one-hour full visit
Start on the first floor and follow the order of the ten themed galleries, focusing on the strategic relocation and Hejiang Land Reform exhibits. Then go upstairs to see the restored offices and living quarters and the Northeast Daily display. Allow extra time if a guided visit or additional exhibition is available.
Combine it with a city-center walk
Jiamusi Museum is about 1 km away and covers the city's broader history. A taxi between the two is about the local minimum fare; you can also walk. Continue to Riverside Park for a stroll or a meal. The museums have different schedules, so visit the one with a lunch break and closing time first. If you are here on a Monday, leave the time for a walk along the river.
Get there
Bus and walking
Take bus 2, 13, or 15 to 新玛特站 (New-Mart stop) or 中心医院站 (Central Hospital stop), then walk to the museum. Navigate to “合江省政府旧址博物馆 (Former Hejiang Provincial Government Site Museum).” The entrance is beside 新玛特商场 (New-Mart); follow the signs at the door.
Parking and nearby travel
Parking spaces dedicated to the museum and their fees have not been confirmed, so do not count on a space at the entrance. The museum is at a city intersection; you can be dropped nearby and walk the last stretch. After your visit, use the museum's opening hours to plan your next stop in the city.

Registration, reservations, and closing times
Registration may require a valid identity document. International visitors should bring a passport and confirm in advance which documents the museum accepts. Use the museum's channel if you need a reservation. If you are visiting Jiamusi Museum on the same day, check both museums' hours and entry procedures separately. The former site is closed on Mondays and pauses admission from 11:30 to 14:00 Tuesday to Sunday; last entry is at 16:00. Plan bus connections and other stops around these hours.
Food and photography
Chunhua Ethnic Cuisine (春花民族美食) and Youfang Hutong (油坊胡同) are nearby dining options. Youfang Hutong serves evening snacks such as grilled chicken rack (鸡架) and grilled cold noodles; confirm opening hours and wait times on the day. The exterior is best photographed in daylight. Follow the signs inside for photography and flash rules.
