    It is very worthwhile to go. Songhua Lake Resort is further improving its life, just to bring better experience to tourists. It is very good and worth a visit. I will take my family to travel to Songhua Lake for vacation if I have the chance.

    Jilin City's Wusong Island has many highlights and is worth a visit. The following is a detailed introduction: Beautiful natural landscape Wusong Island is one of the four natural wonders in China. In winter, the rising mist of the Songhua River is cold and condenses into frost on the trees, forming a rime landscape of jade trees and branches, like a fairyland. The rime here has the characteristics of long duration, large thickness and high frequency of occurrence. It is a hairy crystalline rime, which is regarded as the best of the best by professionals. Suitable for photography The tree shape of Zengtongtun on the island is peculiar, and the silver silk of the weeping willows covered with frost along the river is shining. It is an excellent place to shoot rime, and you can often take pictures of the scenery. In addition, there are many viewing belts on Wusong Island, and tourists are relatively scattered, so it is suitable for taking pictures with few people. Profound cultural heritage Wusong Island is located in Wula Street Manchu Town, where you can learn about the culture and history of the Manchus, visit the Wula History and Culture Museum, Guandong Manchu Culture Street, Wula Sanfu, etc. You can also taste authentic Ula Manchu hotpot, pickled pork with pickled cabbage and other Northeastern farmhouse dishes, and experience the life of the Northeastern countryside. Rich activities You can participate in exciting skiing activities, enjoy ice boats cruising the lake, or try fishing to experience the tranquility and tranquility of nature. In addition, you can walk or ride through the dense forest to explore the hidden beauty and wildlife on the island. If you are interested in culture, Wusong Island also has the production and display of traditional handicrafts. Perfect for watching the sunrise Wusong Island is beautiful in the early morning, with the Songhua River flowing quietly and dry branches in the distance. Because the river water is above zero degrees, there is "steam" on the river, and the wind blows away the steam, just like being in a fairyland, it is a great place to watch the sunrise.

    I took my kids on a challenging hike. It took an hour and a half to go up and an hour to go down. The scenery was great, and the sense of accomplishment at the top was very satisfying. It's a great hike for kids. The park also has many activities, and I took my kids on a jungle adventure.
