    The attraction is so capricious. I came in November and it was only open one or two days a week at most. It snowed every day in November, and the park closed when it snowed. Strong winds also keep Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) closed. In fact, Tianchi is closed year-round. If you want to see Tianchi, I suggest coming in September or October. The chances of seeing it are much higher then. Luckily, it was open today... but only half open. You could only see two spots; the smaller Tianchi was completely frozen. Not much to see.

    Excellent! The environment is great, truly living up to its reputation. Taking the sightseeing bus is very convenient. The scenic area is enormous; it's a blessing for Changchun residents to have such a large natural oxygen bar in the city. A very satisfying trip, beautiful scenery, and the ice cream was excellent. In short, five stars! I'll definitely come back next time I need to.

    As one of the most famous attractions in Changchun, the public must go and see it out of curiosity about the living scenes of Puyi and his concubines in the puppet Manchukuo. There are many tourists, but the overall feeling is average. It is the kind of situation where you will regret it if you don’t go.

    Changchun Film Studio City is a paradise for movie buffs! The special effects movies are breathtaking and thrilling, while the classic film exhibition area evokes countless memories. The park offers a wide variety of interactive attractions, making it perfect for family outings and gatherings with friends—a truly immersive experience. However, some facilities are a bit outdated!

    Superb! The emotional value of seeing the Snow Cracker Monkey from Shanxi was off the charts! Beautiful Changchun, I'll definitely come again next time! The only regret is that I didn't get an autographed photo because I didn't buy the ticket through Douyin.

    "Climb the national gate to admire the exotic scenery and experience crossing the border bridge in one step." The Tumen Port consists of a road port and a railway port, and is China's second land port to North Korea. This time, we visited the road port, and you can also visit the border bridge and the national gate. The national gate is magnificent and the scenery is also very nice. Boundary marker No. 87 is also located here.

    This is my second time here. I didn't have enough fun last time, so I came here again with my friends. There were not many people. The customer service lady also gave us two tickets to the music festival. I will come to participate in the music festival again. The cable car was slow, but the scooter and double slide were very fast. It was very exciting and fun. The environment here is also very good, and there are many small flowers outside. I will come here to play next time.

    Quite satisfied. After booking through the platform, they drove directly from the hotel to the rafting location – very convenient and quick. The river was generally calm and safe, making for a very pleasant experience. The assigned driver was also very friendly!

    5 stars! An immersive experience of Korean ethnic culture, the ultimate photo opportunity in Yanji! ✨ The Yanji Folk Culture Park, a must-visit in Yanji, truly exceeded expectations! A 30 RMB ticket (even cheaper online) allows for a fully immersive experience of Korean culture – incredible value! The park is open from 9 am to 9 pm, giving you plenty of time. It's also conveniently located just a 15-minute taxi ride from Chaoyangchuan Airport. The biggest surprise was the Hanbok (traditional Korean dress) photoshoot! The park is filled with clothing rental shops offering hundreds of styles to choose from, including courtly and everyday options. The embroidered patterns of peonies and cranes are exquisite, and a complete set with makeup and hairstyle is very cost-effective. Strolling through the century-old houses with their blue tiles and white walls in trendy Hanbok, the stone paths, pottery jars, and upturned eaves serve as natural backdrops. Every shot looks like a K-drama heroine – the whole park is filled with "Yanbian princesses," creating an amazing photo atmosphere. Besides photos, the cultural experiences are also incredibly rich! You can make rice cakes and taste sweet mulberry rice wine at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall, sit on a heated floor and listen to a gayageum performance, instantly transporting you to a traditional Korean village. There are also traditional sports activities like swings and archery, suitable for both adults and children. In the evening, you can enjoy exciting long drum dances and fan dances, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Don't miss the authentic Korean cuisine in the park! The kimchi, cold noodles, and barbecue are all delicious and perfect for recharging after a long day. The park is commercialized but not chaotic, with full 5G coverage, allowing for seamless real-time sharing on social media and connecting with photographers to adjust angles – a fantastic experience. Whether you want to take beautiful photos, experience folk customs, or introduce traditional culture to your children, this place has it all! We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and allowing 3-4 hours for a thorough visit. It's sure to be an unforgettable stop on your Yanji trip, and I've already recommended it to my friends! Would you like me to help you create a "3-Hour Efficient Itinerary for the Folk Culture Park"? Includes tips on avoiding common pitfalls when renting Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), the best photo spots, and must-try activities, helping you avoid unnecessary detours.
