可乐的小黑猫:“I came to the long-awaited Vanke Songhua Lake. Here, the mountains and waters are beautiful and the scenery is picturesque, like a paradise hidden among the mountains. As soon as I stepped into the scenic area, I was shocked by the scenery in front of me. Under the blue sky, Songhua Lake is like a huge sapphire inlaid between the mountains, and the lake water is clear and sparkling. The breeze blows, and ripples appear on the lake, as if countless elves are jumping on the lake. The green mountains in the distance are rolling and reflected in the lake. The mountains and water complement each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting. Strolling along the path by the lake, there is soft grass under your feet and lush trees on both sides. The air is filled with a faint scent of pine and soil, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. From time to time, a few birds fly over your head, chirping and singing, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet lakeside. What I remember most is the panoramic view of Songhua Lake from the cable car. The cable car rises slowly, the view gradually widens, and the whole picture of Songhua Lake is in full view. The lake sparkles with dazzling light under the sunshine, like a flowing galaxy. The mountains surround the lake, as if it is a barrier carefully carved by nature, guarding this peaceful world. Looking down from a high place, the beauty of Songhua Lake is even more shocking, and people can't help but sigh at the uncanny workmanship of nature. The time spent at Vanke Songhua Lake is leisurely and pleasant. There are not only charming natural scenery here, but also rich outdoor activities. Whether strolling by the lake or taking a cable car, you can feel the charm of nature. Songhua Lake, this beautiful place, makes me linger and looks forward to the next reunion.”

自由人1956:“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.”

Not only did I eat delicious traditional sweet and sour pork, I also discovered many new ways to eat it. Xinxingyuan Restaurant, a time-honored Chinese restaurant, is famous for its steamed dumplings and is one of the must-visit restaurants in Jilin City. Walking into Xinxingyuan, I found that there are not only delicious steamed dumplings, but also authentic sweet and sour pork cooked by the gold medal chef of the World Sweet and Sour Pork Competition. When the fresh and juicy steamed dumplings meet the crispy outside and tender inside of the sweet and sour pork, the two different tastes collide to create a wonderful spark.”

Mangosteen milk ice is so smooth and fluffy it feels like eating a cloud. Lychee milk ice is filled with a refreshingly sweet and fruity aroma. It really knows how to understand a girl's heart! Don't just eat the ice cream! 💓The Wuhan Black Duck Burger is a must-try! Slightly spicy and tangy without being greasy. 💓The sticky rice is sticky and fragrant, and it's a carb-filled treat. 💓The fruit skewers are incredibly fresh, and the fruit is juicy. 💓The spicy beef is so smoky and flavorful, even without the dipping sauce. 🉑 This meal was so satisfying! From the ice cream to the main course, everything is perfect to your liking. Piaoliang Fan really knows how to make it! I'll be back next time they come up with something new~ 📍Hua Jiao Restaurant”

The fish was served very quickly, so it was definitely too late to kill it. I ordered three kinds of fish, and to be honest, it was just average. The price-performance ratio is very low. I don't know the price of fish roe and fish belly, but I think this dish is expensive at 100 yuan. Four big and one small cost 400 yuan. I ordered more than this at another restaurant before and it cost less than 300 yuan.”
