Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the experience of using railway cultural heritage sites and their museification in China. The object of study is the development in the city of Zhalantun, the stations along the China Eastern Railway, where at the beginning of the 20th century there was a well-known resort in Northern Manchuria. The article considers the current state of recognized architectural monuments – the railway club building and the former military barracks, which have nowadays been turned into the museums. The research is based on a field survey conducted in 2024 using literary and archival materials.
