Airport
Changchun Longjia International Airport, located in northeastern China, is a hub that offers various amenities such as restaurants and a post office. It also provides high-speed rail service to Changchun. The airport is known for its cleanliness and modern facilities, with comfortable seating and helpful staff. Despite being relatively small, it offers a pleasant travel experience with smooth transactions and friendly service. Additionally, the airport features attractive decorations during Chinese New Year, adding to its welcoming ambiance.
Fantastic airport with many amenities and comfortable seating available. Very efficient customs and service that is expected of a Chinese airport. I just wish it were located closer to the city and with more car park spaces.

Jan '25. Flew in from Guangzhou. It's a very nice airport, clean , & efficient.
The one and only airport in Changchun.
It is an international airport, however all of the announcements are in Chinese, no English at all, if you can't speak Chinese it will be a bit confusing if there is some changes, such as sudden boarding gate changes.
The airport is clean, not much restaurants option in T2.
The toilet is clean, lot of squat toilets with only one sit toilet.
two terminals, the new one is a small but modern and well-planned airport, the old terminal is a bit less convenient, especially for international flights to Korea.
International airport but quite small, not capable of handling large amount of travellers and short of facilities that normal int'l airport has.
The baggage claim is extra slow here.
A new terminal is under construction, seems could help to relief the amount of tourists.
Comfortable, new, very clean, wifi, i use 30 mn seat massage I pay with wechat, so i not feel time pass for wait my flight for Shanghai MU9180 late 1H...
This is a small airport in jilin province. Environment is good and clean. Immigration staff are friendly.
Nice airport, very clean and modern

Jinyuetan (净月潭) National Forest Park in Changchun is a must-visit for families.
For older kids and teens, the rope courses and tree-top adventures add an exciting challenge. With biking, paddle boating, a mini train ride, and fresh pine forest air, it’s the perfect natural playground for all ages.
The endless pine forest and the clean, crisp air — a living reminder of God’s wonderful handiwork. As the psalmist writes, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands” (Psalm 19:1). Surrounded by God’s creation, a place to treasure and to thank God for.
It's better to take bike or buy guest bus tour, it's so hard to walk all by feet
(Translated by Google) I ran a half marathon here alone. The park is huge and beautiful. I hope to come again in the future, not alone.

Changying Century City is situated in the southwest suburb and is dedicated to film art and culture. It serves as a popular tourist destination and a filming location for both movies and TV shows, earning it the nickname 'Chinese Hollywood.' The site offers numerous facilities that are particularly enjoyable for children, making it an ideal spot for family outings. Additionally, it holds the distinction of being China's top pride.

History Museums
The Museum at the Former Palace of the Puppet Manchurian Emperor is a historical institution that showcases calligraphy, paintings, and ceramics related to the Manchurian dynasty. This former residence of Puyi, the last emperor of Qing dynasty has been transformed into a magnificent museum that displays various aspects of his life including his study, bedrooms, temple, wife's quarters, opium den, and concubines' rooms.
1/3/2025 . A tick off my bucket list to visit this place , having watched “The Last Emperor” and endless documentaries and theories about the place. I am always very intrigued by the Qing dynasty that lasted 268 years. What does a toddler of 3 years old know about when he was being put on the throne.i think he must have felt that his country has betrayed by dethroning him. His life mission was to revive the dynasty that diminished in his hands. Was he a traitor? I personally felt not, he want to make regain the grounds that he has lost by making use of the Japanese. He did not expect to be a puppet. PuYi was married 5 times and have no offspring, considered both a public and private failure. But as a man, his life experience, the journey from an emperor to be a citizen was incredible!
Little D — Google review
In a vain attempt to stop the progress for history, Puyi the child emperor thought that collaboration with the Japanese might have been a good option. He lived a comfortable life that was probably better than many of the millions he nominally presided over, but he never had any real power.
The Manchu Palace, also known as the Imperial Palace's subsidiary palace, located in Changchun, Jilin Province, is a magnificent and historically significant architectural complex that once served as the residence of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Built in 1934, during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, the palace showcases a unique blend of traditional Manchu and modern Japanese architectural styles. As the former home of Puyi, the palace offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of China's last imperial ruler, and its opulent halls, chambers, and gardens evoke the grandeur and majesty of a bygone era. Today, the Manchu Palace is a museum and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world with its rich history, stunning architecture, and poignant reminders of China's complex and tumultuous past.
Well preserved historical place. The staff can give a tour with very detailed explanation.
It's very interesting to see this style of architecture here in China. You can see the newer buildings behind these older homes, and the difference is shocking. There are quite a few buildings to walk through, including the living areas. The gardens are gorgeous. A must-see if you're in the Changchun area.
Very nice little palace with extensive grounds and beautiful gardens and detailed displays. It is also rather tourist friendly, with captions in English and Japanese as well. The tickets are also only around 20 RMB (approx. $3). However, the buildings are not like the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is relatively modern, considering it was built around 70 years ago. The main building is currently in renovation. The gardens are not like the traditional Chinese gardens, it is more Russian inspired with simple flora. If you want ancient displays, this place only displays artifacts within the age of 100 years, and they are more Russian. It is very close to the Changchun Light Rail, and a museum and small Russian shopping center is also within the grounds. Overall, this is place is good for a nice stroll or a quick visit.
The Chinese government has restored and maintained this place very well. I have a special interest in modern Chinese history and ,therefore, I was totally immersed into the audio narration guide. However, I would recommend side readings to get a clearer picture of the events and personalities - Jonathan Spence's Search for Modern China. My wife also enjoyed this place. As a newbie, she was impressed with the maintenance of every room in the palace.
Interesting place to visit with some unexpected history. English language audio tour available via WeChat. Many signs in English but not all. Taxis easy to come by and not too expensive. Overall I would recommend.

very beautiful. in the winter, there are many activities on the lake :)
The park where I grew up. Great environment where I enjoyed walking (with girls). Filled with old, noisy people. Crowded in the evening.
Been there in the winter with lovely view. Lovely to walk on the frozen lake and watch people doing different activities on the surface. Can spends hours in there
What a lovely park inside chanchung....highly recommend to visit morning and evening
Beautiful place to do exercise and spend time with the family.
Inside city, easy access. Best place for city residents to relax after work. But be prepared to see a lot of people in holidays or even days with good weather. Sometimes there are annoying young people playing skateboard with high speed, through other people. They might bump into you or go right in front of you and scare you.
A very large family park with a large lake. Nan hu translates to South Lake. Many activities for the family including boating, horse riding, fun fair rides, pedal cars, and lots more. Great place for a picnic. Local Chinese dance groups and Tai Chi can be found in many parts and you can join in. Many beautiful trees, flowers, Chinese bridges to enjoy and photograph. And of course it is free to enter.

Historic Sites
The Former Site of the Puppet Manchukuo State Department, situated at No. 2 Xinmin Street, Changchun City, is a significant building within the Puppet Eight Ministries complex. Constructed in 1933 and completed in 1936, it now serves as the main teaching building of Jilin University Medical College. The architecture bears resemblance to the Japanese Capitol Building from that era. Visitors have noted its historical significance and praised its recent renovation for its enhanced beauty.
The Former Government House of Manchukuo, located in Changchun, Jilin Province, is a historic building complex that served as the seat of government for the puppet state of Manchukuo, established by Japan in 1932. This imposing structure, built in 1934, showcases a blend of Japanese and Western architectural styles, reflecting the cultural and political influences of the time. As the former headquarters of the Manchukuo government, the building played a significant role in the region's turbulent history, witnessing key events and decisions that shaped the fate of Northeast China during the Japanese occupation. Today, the Former Government House of Manchukuo stands as a museum and a poignant reminder of the complex and often fraught history of the region, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the politics, culture, and society of Manchukuo.

Don't go. One hour from the city center and still in renovation. Only one floor is open and it is just modern art. The building is also very high, so people with a fear of heights should beware. The science center next to it is also boring, with no English captions, and all the interactive stuff closed. The building looks stunning though. I think this place will be better after renovation. Take a stroll on the nearby reservoir instead.
(Translated by Google) Wrong Google Maps location. Correct address: No. 1666, Yongshun Road, Jingyue Development Zone. It is about a 20-minute walk from Changying Century City Station of Light Rail Line 3. In 2018, this area was still under development, with construction sites all along the road and the sidewalks not yet paved. The Jilin Provincial Museum is located next to the Science and Technology Museum and the Optical Science and Technology Museum. The three buildings have the same shape. The exhibition hall has several floors, mainly introducing the history and development of Jilin Province from ancient times to modern times. Detailed information. The Zhang Boju Museum houses paintings by Zhang Daqian and Pu Xinshe. If you want to understand the history of Jilin Province, you may wish to take a look. There is a restaurant on the ground floor of the museum. However, at this stage (2018) and in the next few years, the location where the museum is located is still remote and inconvenient.

When exploring employment opportunities in China, an invitation was received from Jilin University to travel from Singapore to Changchun and deliver a research presentation during December 2016.

Day 3
Proximity is everything
For day 3, we bundled attractions like Changchun World Sculpture Park and Ouya Spring City Shopping Center and other places within a close range, so that the time it takes to travel between all of them is less than one hour. Combined with the average time people spend there, your day should take about 7 hours.

Changchun World Sculpture Park

Park
Changchun World Sculpture Park is a global collection of tribal totems and figurative sculptures, featuring works by renowned artists such as Rodin. The park showcases an array of cultural art from various parts of the world, presenting a diverse range of artistic expressions. Visitors can explore this unique outdoor museum and appreciate the beauty and creativity displayed in each sculpture.
Nice free sculpture park that has sculpture works from all around the world. The park is free but you have to use a mini app in WeChat to register for everyone (with Chinese ID number of foreign passport number). I find it a bit inconvenient for non-Chinese visitors.

The Former Emperor's Palace of the Puppet State of Manchukuo is a remarkable historical site that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Changchun. This palace, along with other notable attractions like Banruo Temple and Jingyuetan National Forest Park, offers visitors a glimpse into the past. In winter, Changchun transforms into a winter wonderland where tourists can enjoy stunning snow sculptures and breathtaking natural scenery. Exploring these significant landmarks provides an enriching experience for anyone interested in history and culture.
(Translated by Google) This is an exhibition about the imperial palace where Puyi spent 14 years as the consul and emperor of Manchukuo from 1932. Admission fee is 70 yuan for adults. There was also an explanation in Japanese.
I strongly felt that there is great value for us Japanese people to learn about Puyi's life.
It is a place worth visiting to seek peace.

平和を希求するために訪れる価値のある場所です。

The beautiful lake during summer but what makes it amazing
Tommy C — Google review
(Translated by Google) I used to visit Jingyue Lake in winter, but this year, because it’s so close to the Sheraton Hotel, I just had half a day to spare in the afternoon. I didn’t expect Jingyue Lake to be so beautiful!
(Original)
以前都是冬天到的净月潭，今年，因为离喜来登酒店咫尺之遥，下午刚好有半天空闲时间，没想到净月潭是如此美貌！
(Translated by Google) Jingyue Lake consists of a reservoir and an artificial forest. The place is so vast that it may take more than ten hours to circumnavigate the Jingyuetan Reservoir. The scenery of lakes, mountains and forest trails. I visited after the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018, and it was drizzling. From the main entrance of the Goddess Square, go east to Qingsong Ridge and west to Yihongzun. The scenery along the pond and reservoir dam is better. Along the driveway, the scenery is poor. I occasionally saw red and yellow autumn leaves along the way, but not many. On the contrary, the lotus and weeping willow garden has the best view of the lake and trees, with a strong autumn mood. In summer, lotuses fall slowly, white birches are golden, autumn maples are crimson, and Changpu reeds and black rocks are solitary and clear.
There are entrances and exits in the southeast and west of Jingyuetan. Only the main entrance (Jingyuetan Park Station) and the west gate (Ski Resort Station) are close to the light rail station. Private cars can purchase tickets to enter Jingyuetan. There are sightseeing buses in the area, priced at 10 yuan per trip. Tickets for Jingyue Lake are 30 yuan (2018)

淨月潭，水庫和人工森林组成。地方廣袤，繞行淨月潭水庫一圈可能需要十幾小時。湖光山色，森林步道的風光。2018年中秋過後到訪，細雨濛濛。從正門女神廣場東行致约青松嶺，西未及溢洪遵。沿潭、水庫大壩，景色較好。沿車道則景色欠奉。沿途偶見紅黃秋葉，不多。反而荷花垂柳園的湖景樹色最佳，秋意濃。夏荷怠墮，白樺金黃，秋楓绯紅，昌蒲蘆葦黑石孤清。
淨月潭東南西皆有出入口，祇有正門（淨月潭公園站）和西門（滑雪場站）近輕軌站。淨月潭私家車可購票進入。區内有觀光車，每程1O元。淨月潭門票30元（2018年）
