About Jilin City Manchu Museum

The old domestic architecture provides a physical context for the displays, while the new exhibition opened in 2026 examines Manchu intangible heritage through crafts, customs, music and related traditions. This combination allows visitors to compare a household environment with cultural practices that continue to evolve. Consult the current route between the historical residence and newer galleries on arrival.

What to look for

  • The former Wang Baichuan residence, itself part of the museum's material setting.
  • The 2026 Manchu intangible-heritage exhibition, covering local crafts, customs and performance traditions.

The surrounding area

A different city from Changchun, with a Songhua riverfront and weather-dependent winter rime.
