Jilin

A mountainous, forested province in northeast China, best known for Heaven Lake on Changbai Mountain, winter snow and rime ice, and Korean ethnic culture.

Jilin lies in the central part of northeast China, bordering North Korea and Russia, and its capital is Changchun. Changbai Mountain in the east is a famous volcano, known for Heaven Lake, waterfalls and primeval forest. Yanji, in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, offers Korean food and culture, and Ji'an preserves the capital and royal tombs of the Goguryeo kingdom (a World Heritage site). Winter highlights include the rime ice of Jilin City, winter fishing at Chagan Lake and skiing on Changbai Mountain. Summer (Jul–Sep) is the time for Changbai Mountain, and winter is for snow and ice trips. The gateways are Changchun Longjia, Yanji and Changbaishan airports, and high-speed rail links Changchun, Jilin and Yanji.
