Built in 1938 at Xinmin Street, the puppet "eight ministries" were the ruling center of the Japanese puppet Manchukuo imperial state. The were the imperial palace (now the Dizhigong base), the State Council, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of the People's Livelihood, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Comprehensive Legal Office. These buildings featuring Japanese palace style are under the key protection of the city and the province. Their unique architecture is worth seeing.
