At the south end of the cultural square is the geological palace. During the puppet Manchu period, the geological palace was built as the official "imperial palace" of Puyi. The construction started in September 1938. Due to the outbreak of the Pacific War and financial constraints, it was stopped and only the underground part was completed. In 1953, on the basis of the original, the green tile roofed, palace style building was built. Because it is the teaching building of Changchun Institute of geology, it is called "geological Palace".

Surrounding buildings

The length of Xinmin Street, which is 1446 meters, is the shortest. However, in the period of puppet Manchu, there was a puppet Manchu State Council, four ministries and a comprehensive FA Ya on both sides of the street.

Taking the intersection of Xinmin Street and Jiefang Road as the center, there are two ancient buildings in the southeast corner and southwest corner.

The southeast corner is the former site of the puppet Manchu State Council, which is now the teaching building of Basic Medical College of Jilin University. The State Council of the puppet Manchukuo was the central organ of the puppet Manchukuo, which was in charge of administrative affairs. In those years when Northeast China was occupied, the State Council of the puppet Manchukuo became an institution enslaved by Japanese militarism in Northeast China.

The southwest corner of the building is one of the eight departments of Manchukuo military department, is now Jilin University Bethune first clinical hospital. At that time, it was an important organ to command the puppet Manchu army.

The Ministry of justice of Manchuria is now Bethune Medical Department of Jilin University. He was in charge of justice, courts, prisons, civil, criminal, civil, cadastral, cadastral and other judicial matters. He was famous for making laws to suppress the patriotic forces and created one bloody case after another.

The Ministry of economy of Manchukuo is now the Third Clinical Medical College of Jilin University. The puppet Manchukuo Ministry of economic affairs carried out a policy of economic control. It adopted the establishment of special associations as the main means, so that the Northeast materials were constantly controlled by the puppet Manchukuo, the original national industries closed down one after another, and a large amount of money flowed into the hands of the Japanese aggressors.

At present, it is the teaching building of the school of public health of Jilin University; at present, it is the 461 branch of the 208 Hospital of the Chinese people's Liberation Army. The so-called comprehensive law office is actually the Supreme Procuratorate of Manchukuo. The comprehensive law office is the highest judicial organ of the puppet Manchukuo. It is one of the main tools for the Japanese colonial rulers to suppress the Chinese people. There are more than ten kinds of torture tools, such as torture room and strangler in the building.

In addition, the Ministry of agriculture, the Ministry of culture and education, the Ministry of foreign affairs and the Ministry of health of the eight ministries of Manchukuo are basically no more than 3000 meters away from Xinmin Street.
