Yanbian

A border region rich in Korean ethnic culture, with the north slope of Changbai Mountain, Yanji's food, and the tri-border scenery of China, North Korea and Russia, each distinctive.

Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture lies in eastern Jilin Province, bordering North Korea and Russia, and is the main area of settlement for China's Korean ethnic group. Yanji is popular for its Korean food and streetscapes. Antu County is the gateway to the north slope of Changbai Mountain, where you can see Heaven Lake and waterfalls. Dunhua has Liuding Mountain and Yanming Lake, and at Fangchuan in Hunchun you can look out over the point where China, North Korea and Russia meet. Both summer and winter are good times to visit, and July–September is best for Heaven Lake on Changbai Mountain. Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport and the high-speed rail are the main gateways.
