Most parts of China are experiencing the chilliest winter in the past several decades. The South China also become very cold and snowy. If you want to have a winter travel to China, please bring enough thick clothes to keep warm.

Er'renzhuan

If you go to Changchun, you shouldn't miss Errenzhuan, a kind of traditional folk art of Dongbei (Northeast part of China). A good place for you to enjoy it is Heping Theatre which is located in No.295, Chongqing Lu, Changchun.

Have fun!

Winter-Only Wu Song
By LEMONCACTUS | 1/30/2006 7:48:14 AM

The Wu Song really is spectacular.

A unique winter wonderland created by warm river water meeting freezing fog temperatures. All along the river everything is turned white with a heavy frost.

For the best landscape I recommend going East along the river. Especially from the Catholic Church head East, there is a nice park area with sculptures, trees and...erm... tanks!

Get up early, the Wu Song is at its best between 7am - 10am.

Wrap up warm. It's absolutely freezing and the vapour sticks to your hair/clothes etc and freezes them!

Enjoy!

Budget Accommodation
By LEMONCACTUS | 1/30/2006 7:49:21 AM

Jilin City isn't glamorous or on the tourist trail, so places to stay are limited.

I stayed at Tian Shi Bin Guan (Angel Hotel). It is in an excellent location for viewing the Wu Song, being just 2 minutes walk from the Song Hua Jiang (Song Hua River) and the Catholic Church.

A twin room cost me 120RMB. Breakfast was included, nothing fancy but good enough. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I did return back at around midnight one evening and the doors were locked. Fortunately a security guard was awake and unlocked them ;)

Not sure how good their English is though!

Address: 2 Nanjing Jie, Jilin City
