[2025 Jilin Attraction] Travel Guide for Songhua River (Updated Feb)

❄❄❄Jilin rime landscape is known as "one of the four wonders of China". It attracts countless tourists from the end of November to February of the following year to enjoy the scenery. ❄❄❄The beautiful scenery of rime only appears briefly in the morning. When the sun shines brightly, it withers like falling flowers under the warm sun. ❄❄❄The formation of rime has extremely high requirements on the weather. If you grasp the timing accurately, the chance of enjoying the beautiful scenery will be greatly increased. ❄❄❄ is one of the most beautiful scenery in winter. The foggy pine landscape here is formed by the evaporation and condensation of water from rivers and lakes on the trees during extremely cold weather. ❄❄❄When the temperature drops sharply below minus ten degrees, the moisture in the fog will quickly condense on the branches to form ice, forming unique fog-pine ice belts with hundreds of miles of pine corridors. ❄❄❄ Located in Qianbailangling, it is the place with the longest lasting fruit pine trees in the world. Every winter, the white and crystal clear fog pine trees dress up the place into a romantic ice and snow fairy tale world. ❄❄❄Ashhada cliff carvings ❄❄❄In the mountains on the north bank of the Songhua River in Ashhadatun, 15 kilometers southeast of Fengman District, Jilin City, Jilin Province ❄❄❄416m away from Zhuqueshan Park (bus station), about 5 minutes walk

In a short essay, the beauty of Jilin is depicted. This is the bright spot of China, where the dragon's vein connects to the sky. This is the finishing touch of 9.6 million square kilometers, where one mountain has four seasons, and the weather changes every ten miles. This is the highest point in the northeast, where the White Mountain proudly stands like a rooster crowing at dawn. The sky pool reflects the moon, like a dragon gazing, overlooking three countries. All four seasons are generous to Jilin, extremely prosperous, and 'winter' spoils it unreasonably, giving it the most beautiful makeup. When the snowflakes bloom in the sky, it seems to crush countless stars. A hundred miles of rime suddenly appear on the branches, as if the whole spring is inlaid. This black land is now dressed up, transformed into a boundless ocean. The peaks are rolling with white waves, flowing down the Songhua River, with thousands of silver threads along the way, and the banks are full of silver flowers. People ride horses in the snow, carefree, until the sunset falls into the star river, causing ripples of stars in the long night, then suddenly exclaim, there really are fairy tales in the world. Under the majestic Changbai Mountain, where the water flows, thousands of trees are smoky. Looking up, there are icefalls hanging on the river. Water is above the clouds, and clouds are on the top of the wind. Sometimes it turns into fog, sometimes it turns into a fairy. Some people say it is the treasure mirror of the Queen Mother of the West, guarding the peace of one side; some people firmly believe it is the gem of Nuwa repairing the sky, lost in the world. It seems that only in this way, can it be explained

Today is a fresh and beautiful day, taking the morning high-speed train to the provincial capital, it is destined to be a wonderful and pleasant journey. The Northeast land is covered with fertile snow, shining under the light, such a heavy snow will definitely be a bumper year next year, right?

Taking advantage of the weekend fragments of studying in Jilin, I walked along the riverside plank road, with towering trees along the way, the slowly flowing Songhua River, the river ducks catching small fish, the high-rise buildings on the other side, the majestic and magnificent Linjiangmen Bridge... The scenery under the blue sky and white clouds is an excellent place to empty the brain and breathe fresh air, who says that Jilin in winter is only black, white and gray?

Dehui, an ordinary northeastern small town, prospered because of the railway Dehui is a small town that prospered because of the Middle East Railway. In 1903, the Middle East Railway was laid to Dehui. Because this area is located in the central position of the affiliated land south of the Songhua River, a railway station was set up here. Not far south of the station, there were seven brick kilns, hence the name Kiln Gate Station. In 1910, due to the opening of the railway, the population continued to increase, and the Qing government set up Dehui County. The station was also renamed Dehui Station, which has been completely preserved to this day. Today's Dehui retains many architectural remains of the Middle East Railway. In addition to the station, there are two national protection sub-items, the Orthodox Church and the former site of the Russian Overseas Chinese Middle School, and a large number of Russian-style residences scattered around the station. This is a small town brought by the railway. It may not be developed, it may not be exquisite, but it has the most simple appearance of a northeastern small town.

When I came to this northeast, Songhua River became the place I always wanted to see... see if it is as beautiful as the song sings... I heard that the Songhua River flows out from the Changbai Mountain Tianchi, like a green and clear ribbon. In our Chinese territory, in addition to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the Songhua River is counted. The Songhua River is really super big. At first glance, we can't see the end. We feel that we are crossing the sky... From the bus in Harbin Xiangfang District, we arrived at the bus. Get off at Songjiang East Road, there are many streets outside Daoli Road, all selling fish tanks, aquatic products, and all kinds of delicious. Just like the boldness of the Northeast, it is especially energetic.

The Songhua River in Jilin will not freeze. This is different from the Heilongjiang Jilin city, the lowest temperature drops to minus 28 degrees Celsius, the Songhua River is foggy, and urban buildings are hidden. A round of red sun rises from the fog of the cloud steaming Xia Wei, and the North Country Jiangcheng suddenly has beautiful scenery and a beautiful scenery like a fairyland. In the winter season, the average temperature in Jilin City has dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius, but in such a cold, the Songhua River Jilin City section has not been frozen, rushing through the city.

The Songhua River does not necessarily have to be seen in Heilongjiang.
