Covering an area of 120000 square meters and scores of large and small buildings, it has a palace, garden, race course and guard station. The main buildings are composed of series of buildings erected in Chinese classical, European, and Japanese styles, including the Qinmin Building, Jixi Building, Tongde Hall and other subsidiary facilities.

The Puppet Manchurian Imperial Palace was divided into two parts: inner court and outer court. The former was the living quarters of Puyi and his concubines. Its main architectures include Jixi Building on the west courtyard and Tongde Hall on the east courtyard. The outer court was where Puyi dealt with state affairs. Its main architectures include Qinmin Building, Huanyuan Building and Jiale Hall. What's more, there are gardens, man-made rockeries, a fish pond, a swimming pool, air-raid shelters, a racket court, a golf course, a hippodrome, a storeroom of books and paintings and other subsidiary facilities.

Jilin Provincial Government established here the Exhibition Hall of Puppet Manchurian Imperial Palace in 1982 and has received many visitors at home and abroad since then. The Exhibition Hall has held dozens of shows of "From Emperor to Citizen", "Never Forget ‘9.18’". It is an important base for the education of patriotism and exposure of the crimes of the Japanese invading army.
