Take a walk in Beihu Wetland Park.
Compared with the prosperity and diverse attractions in the south of Changchun, the north is indeed less colorful. But it's not that there is nowhere to go. Changchun Beihu Wetland Park is a good choice for weekend relaxation and rest.
Beihu Park is divided into the north and south by Beihu Bridge. The north area has built many antique buildings and lakeside villas, which are too humanistic. The south area has less construction and retains the natural landscape of the wetland.
The lotus, lotus, and reeds growing in the lake are not affected by the low temperature at all, and there are still many flowers blooming. There are a few tourists on the trail by the lake, so you need to guard against mosquitoes.

Everyone thought I went to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but unexpectedly, I went to Changchun, Jilin
Early autumn in Changchun is simply as beautiful as a painting.
The sky is always so blue, with large clouds floating by.
It's so romantic that you can't help but take out your phone to capture the moment.
Even with the sun overhead, it's perfect for an outdoor walk.
Just make sure to use sunscreen, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Moreover, this park is really beautiful.
From a distance on the light rail, I almost thought I had arrived in Hangzhou.
With continuous stone bridges, rippling lake water, and vast lotus ponds, the lotus flowers are in full bloom at this moment.
It's hard not to think of Jiangnan.

5 things you must know before going to the most classic scenic spots in Changchun city, pick up the guide and go!
Changchun is the capital city of Jilin Province, and also one of the three most important sub-provincial cities. The developed industrial economy and perfect infrastructure add a lot of development momentum to this city. Changchun, a city with the style of a big city and the charm of a tourist and leisure city, is full of charming atmosphere everywhere. So, Changchun has naturally become an indispensable important part of the Northeast tour. If you play in the city, which scenic spots are worth visiting? Such as the following classic check-in points listed by Mountain Wild Jun, see how many you have been to?
The first stop to Changchun city must be the most classic Nanhu Park. It is located in Gongnong Road, Chaoyang District, Changchun City. It can be traced back to 1935 before the founding of the country, and later renamed "Nanhu Park". So far, it is the largest city park in the center of Changchun. Its scale is second only to Beihu Park at the junction of the city and the suburbs. The beautiful environment, beautiful scenery and convenient transportation have become a must-visit spot for tourists. So how can you not go to Nanhu Park when you come to Changchun?
Opposite Nanhu Park is a sky garden, which can overlook the entire Nanhu Park, and the visual effect is very shocking. Everyone can go to this high point to enjoy the different beauty of Nanhu, which is very worth visiting.
The largest and most famous scenic spot in Nanhu Park is the "Lotus Pond" viewing spot, which covers a total area of about 40,000 square meters. It is said to be the largest lotus viewing place in Changchun city. Together with the landmark building of Nanhu Park, "Four Pavilion Bridge", it makes the whole park full of poetic and picturesque. So the best tourist economy must be in summer.
The second stop in Changchun is the famous Jingyuetan Scenic Area. To be honest, the actual scenery of this original ecological landscape is not as good as its fame, and it is not worth its score. However, tourists who like the ecological environment may wish to visit here. The whole lake road is very long and it takes a lot of time to travel in depth.
The shape and ecology of Changchun Jingyuetan are very similar to Taiwan's Sun Moon Lake, so it has the reputation of sister lake. Perhaps this kind of scenery can be seen everywhere in our south of the Yangtze River, so it doesn't feel very new and there are no bright spots, but it is very suitable for taking pictures. If you choose Jingyuetan for photo shoots or wedding dresses, it is very worthwhile. As a tourist attraction, it is not ideal.
Jingyuetan Scenic Area is suitable for coming in midsummer, and the breeze on the lake is very comfortable. But it's very cold in winter, so it's better to go to Jingyuetan in summer or early autumn.
The location of Beihu Park in Changchun city is relatively far away, so it can only be regarded as a city park in Changchun, not a city park. The park ranks first in Changchun city in terms of scale, with a total lake area of about 12 square kilometers, so it takes a lot of time to visit this scenic spot.
Beihu Park is large in area, has a good ecological environment, and has various small scenic spots with their own characteristics, as well as many places for rest. Therefore, Beihu Park is a very worthwhile check-in spot in Changchun, but it takes a lot of time to have fun.
Beihu Park, like Nanhu Park, is a free and beautiful scenic spot, which is worth visiting and checking in, especially for photography enthusiasts. This is the experience of Mountain Wild Jun, and I believe it will not be wrong.
Beihu Flower Sea is a rare flower viewing base in Changchun. Except for winter, it is surrounded by various flowers, which is very beautiful. It's right next to Beihu Park, and it's worth checking in.
The scale of Beihu Flower Sea is huge and very suitable for taking pictures. Mountain Wild Jun suggests bringing a telephoto lens to take pictures with more feeling and more tension in perspective. Both men and women feel good about taking pictures in Beihu Flower Sea. Even rural straight men like Mountain Wild Jun who are ugly and earthy like to take pictures.
The public transportation of Beihu Flower Sea is also very convenient. You can easily reach it by bus or city light rail, and there is no admission fee. Isn't it great?
How can you not experience the light rail when you come to Changchun? The location of Kuanping Bridge Light Rail Station is very good, which can integrate the city overpass and railway into one picture, with a lot of exotic customs. If you are lucky, you can meet the retro tram, which is very good for taking pictures.
The green path near Kuanping Bridge Light Rail Station is very beautiful. In summer, it has the beauty of greenery, in autumn, it has the warmth and poetry of autumn, and in winter, it has the scenery of snow country, so this light rail station is very suitable for checking in and taking pictures.
The years of Changchun Light Rail are quite long, which is a feature of Changchun city. Be sure to check in and take pictures here.
