A national-level museum built near the site of the incident. The Broken Calendar stele at the entrance is cast in the shape of a desk calendar for September 18, 1931, its body riddled with bullet marks, freezing in time the explosive night of the Liutiaohu Incident. The exhibitions center on the historical facts of the September 18th Incident—from the railway bombing through the fourteen years of Northeast China's fall, to the blood-soaked resistance of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army—with photos, artifacts and reconstructed scenes presented systematically and completely; it is a key site for national memorial and patriotic education. The visiting route ends at the “Alarm Bell”: the suffering and struggle between the White Mountains and Black Waters leave one unable to calm down for a long time.
Getting there: Bus or taxi, Dadong District
