Introduction

Once hailed as the world's most famous and expensive prison, the Eastern Reform School is now in ruins, with only the old corridors and abandoned guard towers exuding a sense of history. Here, you can gain a deeper understanding of the restricted living conditions for prisoners and explore the mysterious structure of the prison. In addition to regular displays, special themed exhibitions held regularly are also worth seeing, and it is recommended that you visit the official website for advance information.
