Jingyuetan Park is huge, so you'll definitely need to buy a sightseeing bus. Otherwise, you'll be exhausted. First, take a bus around the lake, then explore the sights you choose. Luna Square, the Black Forest, the popular check-in spots, and the museum are must-sees. The lake, sparkling and surrounded by greenery, is a relaxing experience.
We arrived at 2:30 pm. The whole trip was quite rushed. I wanted to go to the highest point to overlook Jingyuetan Lake but didn't have time to check in. It was windy that day and I didn't get to ride the cable car, which was a bit of a pity. The air in the park was very fresh and there were not many people, so it was quite pleasant to play there.

The night show is more interesting. Tickets are checked in at 16:30 and there will be NPC interactions at the entrance. The Shanhaijing Wonderful Night Show starts at 19:30, and there will be singing and interactive activities at the front to warm up the audience. If you want a good seat, enter early to get a seat. Remember to bring a raincoat because there will be a rain spray session. Umbrellas are sold on site for 35, which is too expensive.
Before going, I read the reviews and didn't buy daytime tickets, only the night show. I found the venue quite small and the equipment quite old. The evening show was quite good, and the fireworks were beautiful. But why are there discounts for children and college students, but not for middle and high school students? These children get discounts elsewhere, so why are children and adults priced the same here?

By comparing the photos, we can see that the restoration work was done very well. Although the decoration was done in the later stage, it was faithful to the original appearance and restored the living environment of the puppet Manchukuo emperor Puyi. Just think about it, more than 80 years ago, this was the cage and stage that the Japanese pirates made for Puyi.
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.

Interesting snow pancake monkeys, I saw a live one. There are also many performances such as the Daughter Kingdom, which are very interesting. The night show is basically to see these. Come in from the South Gate and check the program list first, then you can go directly to the Journey to the West area on the right.
Generally speaking, the price is acceptable, cost-effective and economical. We spent a total of 5 hours visiting. It is very suitable for weekend outings with children. However, the wild animals are very thin. I don’t know if it is because they are old or what, they are reluctant to move and very lazy. There is not much to see. It is a pity that there are no pandas. I did not watch the night show because the children are too young.

This is my second time here. I didn't have enough fun last time, so I came here again with my friends. There were not many people. The customer service lady also gave us two tickets to the music festival. I will come to participate in the music festival again. The cable car was slow, but the scooter and double slide were very fast. It was very exciting and fun. The environment here is also very good, and there are many small flowers outside. I will come here to play next time.
I came here to experience the ropeway, cable car, and scooter. The experience was great. The ropeway and cable car staff took the initiative to guide us and reminded us of safety precautions. I felt relieved and safe when going up the mountain. The scooter was fun and safe! The staff helped me put on protective gear and taught me how to operate it. I was supervised throughout the whole process and had a blast. The environment was great and there was a beautiful campsite on the top of the mountain. I will come again next time.

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."

We went to see the giant pandas, but everyone was asleep at noon. You can only enter the Giant Panda Pavilion once. The Siberian tigers and giant pandas are worth seeing, but the rest is just okay. You have to pay a separate fee to take the tour bus around the park. Jingyuetan Lake is located at the north gate, so if you want to go there, you need to pay a fee to visit it.
The Siberian Tiger Park has many tigers, pandas, black bears, and various birds. There are also regular equestrian and acrobatic performances. You can buy a sightseeing bus ticket to take it back and forth, which saves time and effort. Parking is free at the door. It's quite good.

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!

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.

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.
