Went to Tianchi in Changbai Mountain and took a trip to Yanji

Persuade one if you can! Yanji, this small border town located at the foot of Changbai Mountain, is full of unique charm. Bilingual signs are everywhere, and cafes are ubiquitous. It perfectly blends the Northeast style with Korean ethnic characteristics, intertwining tradition and modernity, romance and vitality. If you want to experience local life in Yanji at a lower cost, try the following 'walking + bus' city stroll method. Please accept this nanny-level guide. Attraction Recommendations: - Yanbian Museum: This is the best place to learn about local history and culture. A whole floor of folk exhibitions vividly showcases the rich cultural system of the Korean ethnic group, including the ups and downs of Korean history, exquisite costumes and architecture, unique life rituals, and more. The unearthed cultural relics exhibition also allows you to learn about the mysterious Mohe and Bohai Kingdom. Admission is free, but reservations are required. It is recommended to book in advance during peak season. Closed on Mondays. - Korean Folk Village: It is crowded with tourists during the peak season, but the experience is relatively better during the off-season. The park has traditional buildings, rich cultural exhibitions, and wonderful ethnic dance performances. The Folk Village, Dinosaur Park, and Mao'er Mountain are adjacent and can be visited together. - Yanbian University: It has always been the pride and business card of Yanji. It is not easy to have a 211 key university in this small border town. The campus is built on the mountain, with unique architectural styles, making it very suitable for taking photos. Currently, you can make a reservation to visit and feel the youthful vitality on campus. Don't forget the food court at the university, where the food is delicious and affordable. The 'Internet celebrity bullet screen wall' opposite the south gate of Yanbian University is even more eye-catching. When the neon lights come on at night and the music of 'Arirang' plays, it feels like being in a foreign country, attracting many tourists to check in. In the evening, you can enter the BRT bus station of Yanbian University to take photos. There are fewer people and more spots, allowing you to take beautiful photos. There are many delicious foods behind the Internet celebrity wall in the university town. You can ask the students for recommendations, and you often find delicious food without waiting in line. Just take a stroll in the Korean supermarket; the cost performance is not as good as Yanbai. - Yanji Park: It is only 1-2 kilometers from Yanbian University to the West Market/Yanbai, and you can walk there. On the way, you will pass Yanji Park, which has a history of a hundred years. In the afternoon and evening, many people in ethnic costumes dance gracefully with long drums, bringing you a romantic surprise. City Stroll Route: West Market/Yanbai → Take B39 → Yanbian Museum → Take 28 and transfer to 41 → Folk Village → Take B16 → Yanbian University Internet Celebrity Wall → Walk → Yanji Park → West Market/Yanbai. This route takes about 6-7 hours and costs only 4 yuan for transportation. Yanji is the second city in Northeast China to have BRT, with many bus routes and bilingual announcements in Chinese and Korean. The Xieshan top station is very distinctive. Food Recommendations: - Bibimbap: A variety of ingredients paired with special sauce, rich in nutrition and excellent in taste. - Samgyetang: Tender chicken, rich broth, nourishing and delicious. - Yanji Cold Noodles: Cool and refreshing cold noodles with rich side dishes, a great summer treat. - Kimchi: Traditional Korean food, sour and spicy, very appetizing. - Rice Sausage: Soft and glutinous texture, unique flavor, unforgettable. Come to Yanji and start a romantic and unique journey!
