[2025 Changchun Attraction] Travel Guide for Former Site of the Russian Consulate (Updated Jul)

One place you can't miss in Changchun is the Manchukuo Imperial Palace Museum. 📍Location: No. 5, Guangfu North Road, Kuancheng District, Changchun City, Jilin Province 🕰️Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 8:30-18:00 💰Price per person: Adults (19-59 years old) 70 yuan, 60-64 years old 35 yuan, free for those under 18 and over 65 The inside is so big that it's tiring to walk, but I was interested in the historical architecture. To enter, you need to make a reservation with Alipay specifying the date and time of entry. I didn't know how to do it, so I made a reservation on the day, but I was able to enter smoothly. In addition, you can enter two museums for free, but I also reserved tickets with Alipay before entering. (Don't forget to change the ID item to "passport": "护照" in Chinese. I made a mistake and it was a hassle for me.) You can also enjoy Northeastern Chinese cuisine in Changchun. One example is "Pot Pork". It is fried thin slices of pork with a sweet and sour sauce, and it is one of my favorite northeastern dishes. I also had a dish with jellyfish and crayfish. Laoma Cuisine (Jianshe Street Branch) 📍Address: No. 920, Jianshe Street, Chaoyang District, Changchun City, Jilin Province 🕰️Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00-21:00 I also recommend the shopping center called "Ziyoushan". Entry to the facility itself is free, and you can enter the area with the big Buddha for 10 yuan. There are various shops inside, and I personally felt like I was in a shopping center in a big city in Japan. 📍Location: No. 959 Hongqi Street, Chaoyang District, Changchun City, Jilin Province 🕰️Business hours: Monday to Sunday 10:30am-10:30pm I still had a lot to explore in Changchun, but on my last day I was able to relax at a stylish cafe. Qihai Coffee & Winery (Shiguang Road Branch) 📍Location: North Crossroads of Building A1, Laiyin East County, Zhonghai, Nanguan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province 🕰️Business hours: Monday to Sunday 10:30am-1:30am I stayed at the Changchun Chunyi Hotel (Changchun Railway Station Branch) in front of Changchun Station. It was formerly known as the Xinjing Yamato Hotel, and I think it's a good place to stay for people like me who are interested in old Japanese architecture. 📍Location: No. 80, Renmin Street, Hongcheng District, Changchun City, Jilin Province #Northeast China Cuisine #Northeast China #Changchun #Jilin Province #Yihu Imperial Palace Museum #Hot Bao Meat #这 Arishan #栖海咖啡・酒馆 #长春春谊宾馆

Located at No. 12-6, Changtong Road, Nanguan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, the former site of the Russian Consulate in Changchun was built in 1914 using a brick-concrete structure. Its design uniquely combines I-beam steel girders and blue bricks. This building, with its rich Gothic architectural style, is the only Russian-style building within the Changchun commercial port area. The Russian Consulate features a freestyle layout with staggered heights between floors and a clever combination of straight and curved lines. The east and west sides of the building have tin conical spires, while the central roof is flat, making it the only building with round towers and conical spires in the Changchun commercial port area at that time. The second-floor window lintels are decorated with square and semicircular patterns, showcasing a typical Russian architectural style. Today, the former site of the Russian Consulate has become one of Changchun's important cultural heritage sites and landmarks. The building houses four exhibition halls, themed "This is Changchun," "The Chinese Eastern Railway in the Snow," "The Concession of Kuanchengzi," and "The Changchun Consulate," respectively. These exhibitions showcase the history of the Chinese Eastern Railway and the Russian Consulate through pictures, texts, and maps, comprehensively displaying the history and culture of Changchun.
