Everything Yanji has, Hunchun has too, with fewer people and no queues. 🏞️ When you arrive at the most prominent Guastock Happy Island Scenic Area in Hunchun city, you can take photos at the entrance, and they will all look great. Pics 1-3 📸 Fangchuan Scenic Area is a must-visit local attraction, about 70 kilometers from the city. On the way, you will pass through Quanhe Port. When you reach the Sanfang Scenic Area, you need to take a shuttle bus to get in. If you arrive early, before 10 AM, the shuttle bus will take you inside. This location is at the tip of the map, so your phone's time zone might change, and the signal might drift to Russia. The staff said that after 10 AM, more people arrive, and the small area inside will be closed, so it's best to come early. Pics 4-8 🦀 At Xiehou Hunchun Seafood Street, live crabs are 260 yuan per jin, and those that are barely alive are 120-130 yuan. This one weighs 5 jin and 4 liang, with two large and one small crab. We couldn't finish it and had to pack it up. Pics 9-11 🍰 At Tianxian Bao Fan, rice wine is free-flowing. We ordered the beef bao fan set, grilled pork belly, tofu, and other dishes. The taste was great, and the prices were very affordable. Pics 12-15 👣 Don't forget to try the food and drink style of the Yanbian area. Yanji is a popular city with lots of people and excitement. Where we went later had fewer people, and there was no need to queue. Everything that Yanji has, this place has too. So, foodies who don't want to queue can come and explore Tuncun.

It's not that Yanji is unaffordable, but Hunchun is more cost-effective Yanbian Hunchun is a city at the junction of three countries. It allows you to see the Three Kingdoms at a glance... 🚄Yanji-Hunchun Just get off the train station and book a car (200r/car) It costs 30/person to take a minibus round trip Personally, I think chartering a car is ideal. The driver will introduce the attractions along the way and stop to take photos.

Standing here, you are stepping on three countries. In Jilin, there is such a small town, which is a border city at the junction of China, Russia, and North Korea. It is not only the only direct passage from China to the Sea of Japan, but also the nearest point from China by water to the east coast of South Korea, the west coast of Japan, and Northern Europe and North America. On the way to Fangchuan, there is a section of road that extends along the Tumen River. The road is very narrow on both sides, which is the narrowest piece of land in our country—the Yangguanping Road Embankment. When visiting Hunchun, you must climb the [Longhu Pavilion] to see the borders of the three countries. Below Longhu Pavilion is a sunken square called Longhu Square. At the place where the steps go down, there is a wall called 'One Eye Sees Three Countries.' There is an elevator inside Longhu Pavilion, so you don't have to climb the stairs. The tenth floor is the best open-air viewing platform. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see the China-Russia Bridge, Russia's Khasan Town, and North Korea's Tumangang City. Longhu Pavilion is very close to the Sea of Japan, and you can see the Sea of Japan. The second floor is the Border Defense Culture Exhibition Hall, and the fourth floor is the Northeast Tiger Ecological Experience Hall. [Oriental First Village] is a Korean folk village with a strong Korean style throughout the village. Because the village is very close to the Sea of Japan, seagulls often hover in the air. During the day, you can watch Korean singing and dancing, and at night you can see the musical fountain. There is a bonfire party on Saturday nights, which is much more lively than usual. There is no need to worry about food and accommodation in the folk village. It is also a good choice to stay for a night while playing. Hunchun is located at the estuary of the Tumen River, close to the Sea of Japan. It has a temperate marine monsoon climate, with no extreme cold in winter and no extreme heat in summer. It is a good place for summer tourism. If you want to escape the heat, you can play for two days!

Quirky destination at this tri-country border where Chinese territory tapers to about 1km in width. You can look across the river to North Korea and over the hills to Russia. I was there on a rainy, windy day with few visitors, but I hear that it’s quite busy in summer.

Drive along the Tumen River in Jilin to drive to Fangchuan. Here is the hometown of Fuchao Rongyin, the "Zhejiang Raiders". It will pass through the narrowest Chinese territory and will pass through the last Chinese town on the eastern border. Arrived at the Longhu Building of the Three Kingdoms, facing the Sea of Japan, on the left hand side is the territory of Russia, on the right hand side is the territory of North Korea, surrounded by rivers and mountains, raised by Feng Shui. If you want to report a group to go abroad to play, it is cheap and fast to start from here.
