Jilin City
A famed ice-and-snow city known for the rime spectacle along the Songhua River, with Beidahu ski resort and Songhua Lake offering both winter and summer attractions.
Jilin City lies in central Jilin Province, with the Songhua River running through the city in an S-shaped curve, and is one of the cradles of Manchu culture. In winter, rime often forms along the Songhua River, and ski resorts such as Beidahu and Wanke Songhuahu have excellent snow. In summer you can visit Songhua Lake and the old Manchu town of Wula Street. December to February is the best time to see rime and to ski. The city has a high-speed rail connection and is about an hour's drive from Changchun Longjia International Airport.
