The attraction is so capricious. I came in November and it was only open one or two days a week at most. It snowed every day in November, and the park closed when it snowed. Strong winds also keep Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) closed. In fact, Tianchi is closed year-round. If you want to see Tianchi, I suggest coming in September or October. The chances of seeing it are much higher then. Luckily, it was open today... but only half open. You could only see two spots; the smaller Tianchi was completely frozen. Not much to see.

"Climb the national gate to admire the exotic scenery and experience crossing the border bridge in one step." The Tumen Port consists of a road port and a railway port, and is China's second land port to North Korea. This time, we visited the road port, and you can also visit the border bridge and the national gate. The national gate is magnificent and the scenery is also very nice. Boundary marker No. 87 is also located here.

Quite satisfied. After booking through the platform, they drove directly from the hotel to the rafting location – very convenient and quick. The river was generally calm and safe, making for a very pleasant experience. The assigned driver was also very friendly!

5 stars! An immersive experience of Korean ethnic culture, the ultimate photo opportunity in Yanji! ✨ The Yanji Folk Culture Park, a must-visit in Yanji, truly exceeded expectations! A 30 RMB ticket (even cheaper online) allows for a fully immersive experience of Korean culture – incredible value! The park is open from 9 am to 9 pm, giving you plenty of time. It's also conveniently located just a 15-minute taxi ride from Chaoyangchuan Airport. The biggest surprise was the Hanbok (traditional Korean dress) photoshoot! The park is filled with clothing rental shops offering hundreds of styles to choose from, including courtly and everyday options. The embroidered patterns of peonies and cranes are exquisite, and a complete set with makeup and hairstyle is very cost-effective. Strolling through the century-old houses with their blue tiles and white walls in trendy Hanbok, the stone paths, pottery jars, and upturned eaves serve as natural backdrops. Every shot looks like a K-drama heroine – the whole park is filled with "Yanbian princesses," creating an amazing photo atmosphere. Besides photos, the cultural experiences are also incredibly rich! You can make rice cakes and taste sweet mulberry rice wine at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall, sit on a heated floor and listen to a gayageum performance, instantly transporting you to a traditional Korean village. There are also traditional sports activities like swings and archery, suitable for both adults and children. In the evening, you can enjoy exciting long drum dances and fan dances, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Don't miss the authentic Korean cuisine in the park! The kimchi, cold noodles, and barbecue are all delicious and perfect for recharging after a long day. The park is commercialized but not chaotic, with full 5G coverage, allowing for seamless real-time sharing on social media and connecting with photographers to adjust angles – a fantastic experience. Whether you want to take beautiful photos, experience folk customs, or introduce traditional culture to your children, this place has it all! We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and allowing 3-4 hours for a thorough visit. It's sure to be an unforgettable stop on your Yanji trip, and I've already recommended it to my friends!

This hot spring was absolutely amazing! It was the best experience I'd had among all the hot springs I visited. There were many clean pools, and you could even watch a movie on a giant screen while soaking outdoors. They also offered complimentary brown sugar ginger tea indoors. I highly recommend the oden (Japanese hot spring stew); it had a wide variety and was incredibly delicious. The most noteworthy thing was the incredibly warm and attentive service from the staff. They proactively gave me a new bathrobe when it got wet, and when they saw me shivering from the cold as I entered the room, they immediately brought me a cup of brown sugar ginger tea. It was definitely an unforgettable hot spring experience.

The ticket purchasing process was a bit convoluted. I tried to buy six tickets on Ctrip, but they wouldn't go through. I ended up buying them one by one, which was incredibly time-consuming and laborious. The scenic area provides a bus to the Dragon and Tiger Tower, but the cleanliness and wear of the seats were quite disappointing. The Dragon and Tiger Tower could use some crowd control, especially on the top two floors.

I visited in early September. The park isn't large, and the entrance fee includes a reindeer snack, moss, and free reindeer interaction, making it a great value. The weather was still hot, and the reindeer seemed lethargic. Their antlers were massive, but for safety's sake, it was best to maintain a distance. Be sure to keep the moss and snack bowls out of sight of the reindeer, as they are quite greedy and will actively snatch food. Parents with children should avoid petting the reindeer, as they can be quite irritable and will react to any contact. The sika deer were quite lively, accommodating and cooperative, so you can approach them for photos and interactions. There are also roe deer east of the park, but they are kept in captivity and cannot be interacted with.

I went there once in 2013 or 2014. It was not as big as it is now, but the scenic area was more complete. The autumn scenery is full of autumn in the mountains. The scenery of Wuhua Mountain is particularly beautiful. The weather is a bit cold, but the scenery is really beautiful. The big Buddha is very majestic. Going up the mountain to worship the Buddha is also an experience. I bought a pack of incense and bowed to the Buddha when I saw him. Although I don’t ask for great wealth and honor, I hope that everything will be safe and peaceful.

The "Instagrammable Wall" in Yanji seems to be a popular spot for taking photos online now. It's located opposite Yanbian University, and at first glance, it's quite impressive, densely packed with neon signs and various shops and restaurants. There's also a food street nearby with many stalls. It's a great place to stroll around if you haven't had dinner yet, and experience the feeling of going out to find food when you were in college.
