The Governor's House of Northeast China

Travel through a century of history and encounter the former residence of the Governor-General of the Three Eastern Provinces in Shenyang. The red bricks and gray tiles hold the lingering glow of the Republic of China era, while the carved archways whisper tales of the Zhang family's illustrious past. Strolling along the long corridor, fingertips trace the lines of time, and under the shade of the plane trees, one can almost hear the turning of pages in history.

Visiting the Governor's Palace allows you to learn about history, see China's development, and appreciate their efforts. It's quite impressive. There are very few visitors here, but those under 70 years old need to buy a ticket.

Walking into Zhang Xueliang's former residence, the entire building exudes a sense of history. It's like stepping into that era, interacting with people from that era in a parallel time and space. I felt the atmosphere of that era and learned about the history of Northeast China, the life of the young marshal and the stories behind it, and what his state of mind was like during the second half of his life under house arrest. It was a completely different experience from the Marshal's Mansion I saw in Tianjin.

The Governor's Palace of the three eastern provinces is located here Between Shenyang Forbidden City and Marshal's Mansion You can use the above two attractions Tour together After the Qing army entered the customs As a place of prosperity General Shengjing is established in the Northeast General Jilin Heilongjiang generals take care of them separately After the Russo-Japanese War In order to consolidate the northeastern border Resist the covetousness of Japan and Russia So in the Northeast Transform military control into a province And established the governor-general of the three eastern provinces in Shenyang. The first governor of the three eastern provinces was Xu Shichang Built under his supervision Completion of regulations During the Qing Dynasty, three governors worked here. Xu Shichang Xiliang and Zhao Erxun After the Republic of China It has also always existed as the military and political organ of the Northeastern leader. There is an existing building It is a typical Chinese Baroque building Very distinctive Worth a visit.

Today I went to visit the Governor-General's Office of the Three Northeastern Provinces. Today is also the first day that the Governor-General's Office of the Three Northeastern Provinces is officially open to the public. The ticket price is 20, and student ID is half price. I was lucky enough to be one of the first tourists to enter. The Governor's Mansion is located between the Forbidden City in Shenyang and the Marshal's Mansion. It is an important historical link between the Forbidden City and the Marshal's Mansion. It is a heavyweight historical and cultural relic protection unit. As the former power center of the three northeastern provinces, its historical status cannot be underestimated. The museum has been restored to a large extent after more than eight years of meticulous restoration. The staff were enthusiastic, attentive and very cordial in their explanations and communications. I learned that this was once the second largest building complex after the Forbidden City, or even larger than it. I visited for a long time and learned a lot. Friends who are interested in modern Chinese history can go there.

The "Former Site of the Governor-General's Office of the Three Eastern Provinces" is located between the Forbidden City and the Marshal's Mansion in Shenyang. It is these three major buildings of "one palace and two offices" that constitute the most historically rich central area of ​​Shenyang and have become a witness to the history of the transition from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass in 1644, Shenyang became the Qing capital, and in 1747 it was changed to Shengjing General's Mansion, which was the highest military and political agency at the time and the official agency in charge of the entire Northeast. Shenyang became a veritable central city of the Northeast. In 1907, the Qing government converted the Shengjing General's Office into the Governor-General's Office of the Three Eastern Provinces, and renovated and expanded the original buildings. From 1914 to 1931, Zhang Zuolin, the then military governor of Fengtian, and Zhang Xueliang, the security commander of the three northeastern provinces, worked here. After the September 18th Incident, this place was changed into the pseudo Fengtian Provincial Government. Today, this Governor's Palace with a history of more than 300 years has been turned into a museum.

Northeast China is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty. Since entering the Shanhai Pass in 1644, it has been implementing special governance that is different from the administrative system within the Shanhai Pass. It was not until 1907 that the Qing government established a province in Northeast China and changed the Shengjing General to the Governor-General of the Three Eastern Provinces, responsible for the military and civil affairs of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. The Governor-General's Office of the Three Eastern Provinces had three governors from 1907 to 1912, Xu Shichang, Xi Liang and Zhao Erxun In the Qing Dynasty, there were 23 provinces in the country that implemented the governor-general system, that is, each province had a governor as the highest official, and the governor was appointed by the court to command the military and political affairs in the jurisdiction. There were nine governors-general in the Qing Dynasty, and the Governor-General of the Three Eastern Provinces was one of them. It was established after the establishment of the Northeast Province in the late Qing Dynasty and was in charge of the place where the Qing Dynasty was born. Therefore, it has an important and special status

The office of the successive governors of the three northeastern provinces was also the office address of Zhang Xueliang during the Republic of China. Worth visiting: the first floor restores the original appearance of General Zhang's office, and the second floor restores Xu Shichang's office. However, some of the cultural relics displayed around the stairs on the second floor, the exhibitions in the atrium and some rooms are far from the cultural theme of the scenic spot. It is recommended that the management department dig deep into the culture of the governors, and enrich the collection content around the Northeast control system and related major events.
