A very emotional and sad tour dealing with a horrible chapter in Chinas history at the hands of the Japanese. The museum is laid out to display the evidence of the atrocities and this evidence in the displays make it even more powerful and shameful. Our guide Kelly, was very well researched on the topic and was so helpful. Even though she conducts this tour she was still moved by it. Highly recommend you visit to understand the recent history.

It is a place for human experiments and bacteria experiments, all the experimental objects are living people, most of them are Chinese, there are Koreans, Russians, there are also some American prisoners, the admission to the museum is free, the travel agency need to make reservations in advance, we booked half day unit 731museum and ruins private tour, we plan to go easy way and save some time, the English tour guide explains 5 exhibition halls to us , She helps us understand well, and also took us to visit the ruins and buildings where Japanese did experiment location. it is worth to pay it.
Thank for your lovely reviews, China every museum must reserve in advance, if not, you may not have a chance to visit on the day, just make sure book tour with travel agency, ticket, transportation and tour guide service for you. hope to see you again in future.
