I hadn't been there in years, and since I was nearby, I decided to go for a stroll. The scenic area is quite large, with electric cars now available, and check-in points at each stop. It's beautifully built. There's a wide variety of plants and trees, and it's very relaxing.
This is a senior citizen ticket I bought for my mother. I want to thank the country for providing cheap tickets for senior citizens to travel. This allows this generation of elderly people to save a lifetime of habits and still be able to happily see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland. The overall experience is super value!

Changchun Film Century City is a large venue with numerous venues and entertainment options. We saw the Plains Guerrilla live show, which was very realistic; the kids rode the roller coaster; and you can rent electric cars, which is a leisurely and relaxing experience.
There are plenty of attractions, and the environment is nice. We watched the 3D Universal Cinema, which lasted less than five minutes for 50 yuan. We also had a great time riding the bumper cars. However, the overall management of the park is quite disorganized. Apart from the ticket sellers at the various attractions, there's no one to maintain order or manage the area. The "Wonderful Night of Mountains and Seas" performance is supposed to be the highlight. The staff tried their best to maintain order, but the sheer volume of people made it all go to waste. The venue was seriously overcrowded, yet they kept letting people in. It was truly dangerous! It's certainly a fun place, but the management is questionable!

The Puppet Manchuria Palace Museum is located at No. 5 Guangfu North Road, Changchun City. It is a palace site museum built on the former site of the Puppet Manchuria Palace. It is a national tourist attraction. The Puppet Manchu Palace Museum was once the palace of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjuelo Puyi, who lived here from 1932 to 1945. Now here restores the environment where Fu Yi once lived and worked, displaying a large number of historical materials and cultural relics, so that people can understand the first half of the last emperor and the incriminating evidence of the Japanese army in China. Enter the gate of the museum, you can first see the imperial racecourse and flower gardens that Fuyi used to have. Going east is the main building complex. The palace can be divided into the outside court for political activities and the daily life is the two parts of the inner court. Now it is opened as the Puppet Manchu Palace Exhibition Hall and the Puppet Manchu Palace Exhibition Hall. The palace is the place where the funeral service handles government affairs. The main buildings are Qinmin Building, Huaiyuan Building, Jiale Palace. Qinmin Building is the place where the funeral service is located. Among them, Jixi Building is the residence of Puyi and Queen Wanrong. It is the daily living place. Tongde Palace is the residence of the "Fugui". Jianxi Building is also known as the Bedroom Palace. During the pseudo-full period, Puyi and his "houfei" Wanrong and Yuling lived here. Qinmin Building is a two-story square circle building, with a square patio in the middle, connecting the north and south gates, and Chengguang Gate in the south. The south house on the east side of Chengguangmen is the direct office of Jigang Anzhi, the "Emperor Room Royal Hang" for the Japanese imperialists to control Puyi directly. The southeast of the second floor is the main hall, that is, the Qinmin Hall, the southwest is the west side hall, the west is the health hall, and the north is the hall. Qinmin Building is the place where the funeral service is located, and you can see the imperial costumes of the time. Huaiyuan Building is a two-story blue brick building, which is the place where the funeral service is sacrificed to the ancestors. Tongde Palace is the Japanese for Fuyi and his concubines designed and built a palace integrating office, government affairs, residence and entertainment, is the largest building in the Puppet Manchu Palace. To express the same heart and morality as the Japanese colonial rulers, the temple on the roof of the wadang and dripping water burned the word "dexin". Tongde Temple is named after this. Tongde Garden is a Japanese garden style garden designed by Japanese garden teacher Satoku. The garden is lined with movement and static, and it is a place for Fuyi and its "hou concubine" to rest and entertain. The Houdong Royal Garden built an air defense basement, and built a "Jianguo Temple" dedicated to the ancestors of the Japanese royal family, "Tianzhao Great God", in the original riding field. The Painting and Calligraphy Building is a small two-story building, and the good ancient books brought by Puyi from the Forbidden City in Beijing, the famous paintings and calligraphy of the past generations, and the precious cultural relics of the Qing Palace are stored here. When the fake full fall funeral funeral home fled the fake full palace, for easy carrying, carefully selected the most precious collection 57 boxes, all shipped to Tonghua big chestnut ditch, the remaining part was lost.
Visiting the Puppet Manchurian Palace Museum gives people a complex historical feeling. The museum was originally the Puppet Manchurian Palace Palace, and a large number of historical relics and cultural information have been retained. When entering the museum, the first thing I feel is the heavy sense of history. The architectural style, furnishings and exhibits of the palace make people feel the special atmosphere of that period. From the perspective of the exhibits, they are not only artworks, but also symbols and historical testimony of the times. Especially the display of the pseudo-Manchukuo period gives a strong shock, and the special time and complex political background in history make people reflect on the pain and regret of history. The layout inside and outside the palace also gives a sense of the political atmosphere and the symbol of the emperor's identity during that period. In some exhibition areas, you can see the literature, clothing, daily necessities related to the Japanese occupation period, and almost every exhibit tells a complicated historical story. In general, visiting the Puppet Manchuria Palace Museum is not only a retrospective of history, but also a deep understanding and reflection of the culture, politics and history of that era. Every step of the way seems to be passing through history, feeling the unusual atmosphere of that period.

I came to Changchun specifically to watch Snow Monkey and Tang Monk. I didn't expect there would be so many people at the Monday night show. Snow Monkey is the most popular. The performance is great, each performance is well connected, and the actors are very dedicated. It is worth coming.
It is worth a visit. The environment is very good and there are rich plants and animals. It is better than the Siberian Tiger Park. It is a good place to feed animals and take children and the elderly. You can also rent electric cars to play without getting tired.

It rained this morning, and the air is very fresh now. The cable car opened at 9:00. There was still a little rain, but it dried up after a while. The speed was slow, but not scary. The other attractions were also not expensive, and the staff were very friendly. I plan to camp here next week.
The weather was very cool when I came here yesterday afternoon. After playing, I went to the roof to take pictures. The foggy feeling was very impressive. The scenery was particularly beautiful. The two customer service ladies on the top of the mountain were also very enthusiastic. ❤️ The average price was 78 per person, no hidden charges. Recommended

Changchun's attractions are all very concentrated. The Changchun Film Studio is divided into a free part and a paid part. If you are not a movie fan or are interested in the history of movies, you can just visit the free part. There are some things that ordinary people don't understand. There are also many things on display in the cinema corridor.
It has created, shot and translated more than 3,600 films of various types and supplied more than 2,000 film talents of various types to the whole country... Founded in 1945, Changchun Film Studio is known as the "Cradle of New China's Film."

My trip to Changchun was truly memorable for the Siberian Tiger Park, and I absolutely have to praise it!
- The park's environment is incredibly comfortable: Upon entering, it's like stepping into a natural oxygen bar, shaded by lush trees and filled with fresh air. The park is well-planned, with wide, flat paths and clear signage. There's no need to worry about getting lost, and walking around is truly relaxing.
- A rich variety of animals: Although it's called the Siberian Tiger Park, the animal species there extend far beyond tigers; it's truly an animal kingdom! The majestic Siberian tigers, stalking the forests, exude a commanding presence; the adorable giant pandas Chu Xin and Mu Yun, grazing on bamboo with such adorable grace, melt my heart; and the lively ring-tailed lemurs, hopping from branch to branch, are truly captivating. I counted at least 60 rare and endangered species, a truly eye-opening experience.
- The ultimate experience: The sightseeing bus ride to see the beasts up close is truly incredible! As the car slowly pulled into the wild animal area, Siberian tigers and African lions were right next to the car. The close yet safe encounters were truly thrilling. In the bird park, you could interact with a variety of birds, which flitted around you, making you feel like you were transported to a fairytale. The animal shows were also fantastic. The equestrian riders were incredibly skilled, and the animals were incredibly cooperative, earning rounds of applause.
- Attentive and thoughtful service: The staff were incredibly friendly, patiently answering questions and offering helpful recommendations. The park's well-planned rest areas and dining options provided convenient rest and refueling opportunities. It was a truly user-friendly experience.
This trip to the Siberian Tiger Park was truly fantastic. Whether you're traveling with children or on your own, you'll have a blast. I highly recommend it to everyone!
I've been to the Siberian Tiger Park so many times. Every time I come to Changchun, I always take time to visit. I liked the acrobatic show the most. Now the show has changed, which is a bit disappointing. But overall, it's still very attentive.

It is full of strong Northeastern style, and you can fully appreciate the unique charm of Green Errenzhuan. Every Errenzhuan actor on the stage has superb skills and unique skills. Although they have different personalities, they are all witty and humorous. The whole atmosphere is very joyful, and you can feel the enthusiasm and boldness of the Northeastern people.
The first time I watched Liu Laogen, I had a very good feeling. It fully reflects the customs and language culture of the Northeast region. Although a lot of the language is joking, it also shows that the locals are smart and their lives are interesting. At the same time, it can adjust people's emotions and make people happy. It is highly recommended.

A very meaningful tram trip! The guide was serious, enthusiastic, patient and thoughtful, and the tram museum and workshop were also very rewarding! Recommended for friends who like cultural travel to experience it!
Take the No. 54 Cultural and Tourism Tram to appreciate the cityscape of Changchun. It is unique and entertaining. The handsome guys on the bus are both service staff and guitar (guitar) singing experts. You can sing and laugh all the way. It’s a different feeling, happy and joyful!

This is probably Changchun's hottest mall right now. It's quite unique and fun to shop at, with plenty of specialty shops and performances like piano and singing. The only downside is that the restaurants are a bit ordinary, mostly chain stores you'd find anywhere.
Some say it's Changchun's Hongyadong. The uphill shopping trip in Figure 4 even feels a bit like Kyoto's Ninnenzaka.
A very distinctive shopping mall with a mountain city style interior, the mall is full of fun and humanistic atmosphere. There are many specialty shops in the mall, many small handicrafts of various colors, and the food is also very eye-catching.
