Not Switzerland! It's Changchun! Entering the world of Hayao Miyazaki's manga

The sunny Jingyuetan is really beautiful, with blue skies, white clouds, green grasslands, black forests, endless lakes, and wetlands full of lotus flowers. Seeing it with your own eyes is really like a fairy tale. There are many ways to play: you can take a boat, ride a bike, camp, play in the water, and take great photos.
