Things to do in Ji'an

This is one of the few national gateway scenic areas in China that simultaneously boasts both railway and highway ports; it's also home to the first crossing point during the Korean War; visitors can see the railway gateway and the former bridgehead ruins, and enjoy panoramic views of Manpo, North Korea, from the riverbank; they can also take a cruise to get a closer look at the opposite bank, creating a strong historical atmosphere.

A great place to learn about the history of Goguryeo, including the Stele of King Gwanggaeto, the Tomb of King Jangsu, and Wandu Mountain Fortress. The 5A-level scenic area has good service, but each attraction is somewhat limited, so you'll finish visiting them quickly.

It's a 4A scenic area, definitely worth seeing. The people of Ji'an are incredibly hospitable, and the border town is quite clean, tidy, and orderly. The scenery at Wunü Peak is also nice, although it's not yet the season for red maple leaves. The electric cart ride for 30 yuan is definitely worthwhile; it's inexpensive, saves a lot of energy compared to walking the mountain paths, and is very convenient for the elderly.

You can see a burial complex dating back approximately 1500 years and remnants of city walls from about 1700 years ago, but only the foundations of the palace remain. It seems the view overlooking the burial complex from above the hilltop is currently closed, so without this perspective, the burial complex isn't as spectacular as it appears.

Truly worthy of being called the Pyramids of the East! A World Heritage Site! The Goguryeo Royal Tombs! Magnificent and grand! Thousands of massive stones, terraced granite, standing for thousands of years—truly awe-inspiring. The scenic area is very clean, and there are even elementary school student volunteer guides who explain things in a detailed and easy-to-understand way!

It's wonderful; the vast land is surrounded by mountains, and everything is lush and green. Whether you come to immerse yourself in history and culture or simply stroll around in this forest park, it's a very pleasant place.

The Ji'an Museum isn't large, but as a museum themed around Goguryeo civilization, its collection of artifacts with strong ethnic characteristics is still a pleasant surprise.

The Yalu River Border Railway Bridge has a special historical significance. It witnessed the important transportation exchanges during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and was the "first crossing during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea". Standing on the bridge, you can "cross the border between the two countries in one step", enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Yalu River, experience the different views of China and North Korea, and review that magnificent history during the visit, and receive patriotic education. It is a special scenic spot with both history and landscape.

I saw this city in the guide. I specially thought of the Sewing Machine Band when I went to the Big Guitar Square. I especially liked the scenery on both sides of Ji'an.

The Goguryeo Royal City, Royal Tombs and Noble Tombs are located in Ji'an City, Tonghua City, Jilin Province. They are the remains of the slave state of the Goguryeo Dynasty. They mainly include Wunü Mountain City, Guonei City, Wandu Mountain City, 12 royal tombs, 26 noble tombs, King Gwanggaeto Stele and General Tomb No. 1. As a capital and tomb built in the early history, it reflects the influence of the Han nationality on other ethnic cultures and the unique style of mural art, showing the perfect combination of human creation and nature. On July 1, 2004, the Goguryeo Royal City, Royal Tombs and Noble Tombs were listed in the World Cultural Heritage List.
