#tripblazers a visit to Beishan Park in Jilin City.

Coming to Jilin, the blending of multi-ethnic culture is a great feature. In the morning, I was still in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, and in the afternoon I went to the Wula Street Manchu Autonomous Prefecture. Wear local ethnic clothing should be appropriate. In the morning, I was shivering in the snow, and in the afternoon I was warming up on the fire. Will you want to smoke a bag? Because the three big monsters in the Northeast, the big girls smoking bag. Hahahaha...

Yuanshan Lake Agricultural Park, located in Shuangyang District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, is a resort that integrates agricultural tourism, recreation, fruit and vegetable picking. Driving from Changchun City for more than an hour, we have come to this original ecological scenic spot. Walking on the small road in the mountains, the smell of grass is mixed with the smell of earth. The road is green and the green fields are full of eyes. It makes people feel happy and can't help but want to open their arms and embrace this beautiful big. natural. The path along the gravel continues to move forward and soon arrives at the B&B area. The houses are scattered and distributed in various forests. It is particularly worth mentioning that these houses are all transformed from containers. They are either individually or together, and the mountains are another unique landscape. Pushing the door to enter, the first thing that attracts our attention is the unique design style of this room. The hall is spacious and bright, the style is fresh and natural, the modern elements are full of creativity, and there is always a feeling of staying away.

Nowadays, the tastes of the New Year are all faded. I want to go to the Northeast for the New Year and enjoy snow and snow! A friend in Jilin, talking about Jilin, thinks of smog. Every year from late December to the end of February, it is the most dreamy season of smog. The smog in Jilin is amazing. Together with the Guilin landscape, the Yunnan Shilin, and the Yangtze River Three Gorges, it is known as China's four natural wonders. The smog is a very magical landscape. It is not that ice is not a school, but that the fog and water vapor are condensed on the branches and leaves. There are many places on the Songhua River where you can see smog. Jilin Changchun City is also available every winter, but the most beautiful is the smog island. It used to be a place for photography enthusiasts, and now visitors are getting more and more. The best time for smog every day is between 8 and 11 o'clock. There is usually morning fog in the morning, and the faint pine willow frost in the fog hangs snow. As the sun rises, there are snow trees under the blue sky and white clouds. This scene is very spectacular. Smog Island Information: Hazy Island is 40 kilometers away from Jilin City. The best route from Jilin City to Wusong Island is to take the suburban line to the north of the railway station. Go to Wula Street, the journey is about 35 kilometers, the fare is about 8 yuan, and it takes about 1 hour. After going to Wula Street, take the bus to Hanyu. The journey is about 5 kilometers and it takes 20 minutes.
