What are the fun places to visit around Changchun City?

Tourist attractions around Changchun include Changbai Mountain, Hongye Valley, Wudaogou, and Chagan Lake.

1. Changbai Mountain

If you must go to Changbai Mountain once in your life, then set out in autumn. Changbai Mountain in autumn is like a palette dropped by God to the world. The forests are dyed, poetic and picturesque, and unbridledly beautiful.

The sun shines unceremoniously at the foot of Changbai Mountain, surrounded by beautiful clouds, dreamy and peaceful. Everywhere you look, you will see colorful scenery, which will definitely live up to its reputation as "the most beautiful forest in China".

2. Red Leaf Valley

Jilin Jiaohe Red Leaf Valley is a valley in Laoye Ridge, a remnant of Changbai Mountain. The valley is majestic and the red leaves are light in color, bright and charming. The best season for viewing red leaves in Hongye Valley is from September 25th to October 10th every autumn.

The golden yellow leaf forest, green pine forest, and dazzling white birch forest, combined with the blue sky, complete the perfect colorful autumn colors in the Red Leaf Valley. At this time of year, the mountains are covered with red leaves, like sunset, which is very spectacular. Even "China National Geographic" magazine once rated this place as "one of China's top ten autumn colors."

3. Shiwudaogou

In the Northeast, there is a saying, "There is Jiuzhaigou in the south and Shiandaogou in the north." It refers to the Shiandaogou in Jilin. There are mountains and water here that are comparable to Jiuzhaigou. The scenery is picturesque all year round, and the lake is even more colorful in autumn.

Walking in the forest, watching the layers of forest dyed, listening to the waves of pine trees, watching the thousands of birds chirping, and feeling like you can touch the spring water when you reach here, you feel like you are swimming in a painting.

4. Chagan Lake

Chagan Lake, also known as Chagan Nur (Mongolian meaning: white lake), is located in front of the Songhua River in western Jilin Province. Guo'erluosi Prairie is one of the top ten freshwater lakes in China.

It is also a famous fishery production base in Jilin Province, rich in 68 species of fish such as squid, carp, and standing fish. Due to the publicity influence of "Holy Water Lakeside" broadcast by CCTV, it is also known as Holy Water Lake". The winter fishing in Chagan Lake is even listed as a world intangible cultural heritage.
