Things to do in Changbai County

Changbai Korean Folk Village was developed on the basis of a natural village. The government renovated the original small village, which is very beautiful. The farmyard is now used as a homestay. In front of the small village, a Korean cultural exhibition hall and some antique buildings were built. It is very beautiful and you can go and see it.

Lingguang Pagoda, located on the top of Tashan Mountain in the northwest suburb of Changbai Town, Changbai Korean Autonomous County, Jilin Province, is 820 meters above sea level and has a history of more than 1,000 years. Lingguang Pagoda is the only ancient architectural relic of the local government of Bohai State in the Tang Dynasty in Jilin Province. It is a key cultural relic protection unit. The original name of Lingguang Pagoda has long been lost. It is said that a long time ago, when the earth's crust changed, everything overturned, only this tower stood tall, coupled with its peculiar shape, refreshing spirit, and striking people's eyebrows. Therefore, in 1908, Zhang Fengtai, the first prefect of Changbai Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, likened it to the Lingguang Hall in Shandong during the Western Han Dynasty and named it Lingguang Pagoda. Lingguang Pagoda is built with blue-gray square bricks and is a pavilion-style hollow square tower. It consists of five parts: passage, corridor, underground palace, tower body and pagoda. Although the bricks have fallen off sporadically and the tower is slightly tilted after thousands of years of erosion by wind, frost, rain and snow, it is still as solid as a rock and towers high above the clouds. Even the fallen fragments are very hard and make a clear and pleasant sound when knocked. The passage is stepped, with a total of 11 steps.

The overall environment was quite nice, but the glass on the cable car was a bit scratched, with significant human-caused wear and tear, which greatly affected taking photos. I suggest putting up a sign to prevent people from scribbling on the glass.

The three-day, two-night stay was very fulfilling. The resort hotel facilities were quite good, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and quite spacious. Even though Changbai Mountain was closed due to weather, there were still plenty of fun things to do in the resort area. The breakfast was plentiful, cleaning was prompt, and the service was excellent. 👍 A great place to play in the snow in winter and escape the heat in summer.

If you have time to visit Yanji, you absolutely must go to Mao'er Mountain, and you should definitely visit it in the early morning, as the scenery is exceptionally beautiful then. If you're lucky, you might even see the morning mist, which will give you a unique and special experience.

We visited the Yanbian State Museum, which had few cultural relics. We borrowed an electronic induction guide to learn about Korean culture and history. For example, Koreans regard white as a symbol of purity, so marriage certificates are all white.

The frozen roses are beautiful; go early to avoid long queues. Find good photo spots in advance; each group of 10 people gets in for 5 minutes. The Swiss-style cabins are also photogenic, and you can feed the reindeer for 20 yuan.
