A fairytale island in winter | Jilin Wusong Island

Wusong Island is a small island in the Songhua River in Wulajie Manchu Town, Longtan District, Jilin City. It is named after the beautiful rime that forms here and is the best place to see the "Jilin Rime," one of China's four natural wonders. The trees here are unique, and the willows along the river are covered with white frost flowers. The wind blows the silver threads, creating a wild and beautiful scene. Every winter, when the Songhua River meets the cold air, a dreamlike rime landscape is formed, attracting countless visitors. Travel tips ♥ Best time to visit: Late December to late February. The best time to see the rime is between 6 am and 10 am, when the rime is formed and the sunlight is soft. Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a day with continuous sunny weather and a large temperature difference between day and night for a higher chance of seeing the rime. ♥ Recommended itinerary: After arriving at Wusong Island, take a walk along the river to enjoy the scenery and take photos. Hantun is the core viewing area, with a viewing platform overlooking the entire area and a rime corridor. If you have time, you can also experience winter fishing. ♥ Clothing suggestions: The temperature is low in winter, so choose a thick, windproof down jacket and warm pants with windproof pants. It is best to bring a hat, scarf, and mask to keep warm and use as photo props. ♥ Other notes: There are many visitors on weekends and holidays, especially during the Spring Festival. Book your accommodation and train tickets in advance, and take care of the environment and the rime landscape.
