2025 Yanbian University/Yanji Xishichang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)
All Trip Moments about Yanbian University/Yanji Xishichang
Why should I go to Yanbian University?
My answer is: you don't need to go.
Of course, I'm not talking about the students who entered university to study, but rather its value as a tourist destination.
Like Sinchon, where Yonsei University is located, it's just a shopping district where people come to shop. Further down, I recommend People's Park, Xishi Market, and the floating market across the street. The area around Yanbian University isn't cheap or good for food or shopping. It's just that the university is there.

A place where you can meet Korean in China!
The shopping area in front of Yanbian University in Yanji is crowded with people during dinner time.
Yanbian Naengmyeon is different from the Pyongyang-style and Hamheung-style Naengmyeon eaten in Korea. It is sweet and sour, has slightly thick noodles, and contains apple-like fruits.
There are Korean foods everywhere, so it is good to visit them on a food tour.
If you have a chance to travel to Baekdu Mountain, it would be good to pass by Yanbian In or Out.
Yanbian West Market is a permanent market that sells various daily necessities including salted seafood, vegetables, and side dishes, and it feels similar to a Vietnamese market.
Yanbian Floating Market is only open until 9 AM, but it sells various foods.

The night market in Yanji, Jilin Province is here!
Yanji, China_Yanbian University Night Market
This is the Yanbian University Night Market in Yanji, Jilin Province, China! Since Yanbian University is the representative university of Yanji, there were so many students! It was really nice to look around because there were so many street food vendors selling various street foods😀
If you go to the left from the entrance of Yanbian University in front of Wang Hongchang and go up the hill, you will come out!!! It feels very different from the places you often go to in the morning like the West Market or the Floating Market, so I hope you stop by~!
I found the best Kaolongmian in my life here....🫶🏻 The owner was really kind and put in a lot of ingredients, so I was really impressed! Actually, you usually have to be a little sloppy when you eat at street vendors like thisㅜㅜ They were really clean and they always wiped it down before the next one☺️ Thanks to that, two people bought five boxes❕
If you go to Yanji, I recommend visiting the Yanbian University Night Market in the evening✔️

Yanbian University Town | Taking my college daughter to eat at the same snack stalls as in Korean dramas
#Sign up for January Hotel Test Sleeper 2025
Took my daughter to Yanbian University, and was moved by the university buildings. I took a few photos. It was already night, and the neon signs on the Yanda Food Street were reflected in the steaming heat, as if I had walked into the street scenes of "Reply 1988". I took my daughter to walk through the tent horse shop, and the sweet and spicy aroma of spicy rice cakes and the umami taste of fish soup were intertwined. The stall owner's skilled Korean shouting added an exotic atmosphere. Recommended must-try "Rainbow Rice Sausage" - glutinous rice sausage dyed with natural fruits and vegetables, it blooms like petals when cut; paired with a cup of freshly shaken Korean honey rice dew, it is the same warmth that the protagonists of Korean dramas hold in their hands. When my daughter took a selfie with Korean fried chicken, you will find that her eyes were shining with the same starlight as the girl in the drama. The stall that is open until the early morning is most suitable for mothers and daughters to talk late at night, making food a bridge for cross-generational dialogue.

Yanbian University in Yanji
This is the university district of Yanji and the street in front of Yanbian University!
This place is also written in Korean, and it was fun to see the translation from a Korean perspective~!
This is a sign in front of a bar that is a hot place for college students, and the writing was so cute! There are many restaurants and bars around, so I think it would be good to visit!!

#2025Overseas Travel Event
📌Address: Yanji City-Gongyuan Road, University City B Entrance
📌Chinese name: Service Building Yanji Cold Noodles
📌Opening hours: 9:00~21:30
📌Recommended menu: Cold noodles + Guo Bao Rou
The service building is located on the first floor of the building in front of Yanbian University, so it's very easy to find!~! The inside of the store is spacious enough to have a lot of seats, and there are many different menus. I ordered cold noodles, Guo Bao Rou, warm noodles, and kimchi! Cold noodles (服务大楼营养冷面) are 23 yuan and Guobarou (small) is 35 yuan. I recommend these two menus 😋 The cold noodles are really delicious ㅠㅠ🥹🥹
I also liked eating kimchi with Guobarou and cold noodles. Kimchi is only 12 yuan, so I think it would be good to order it once! 🙌🏻

A nostalgic roti bun cafe that is now hard to find in Korea
#OverseasFlightEvent #ChinaTravel #China #Yanbian #Yanji #ChineseFood #ChineseCooking #RestaurantIntroduction #RestaurantTour #RestaurantConquest #RestaurantRecommendation #RestaurantExploration #Restaurant
As a bread lover, I really liked the fragrant flavor of buns, and Roti Bun, which became famous for bun cafes, is hard to find in Korea anymore, but I visited it in Yanji. It was so popular that some flavors were sold out even after lunchtime, but I felt good coming to the bakery cafe of my memories.
