[2025 Jilin Attraction] Travel Guide for Wanlv Yinsi (Updated Jan)

❄❄❄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

Jilin rime really deserves its reputation [ThumbsUp] It’s not in vain that I got up at 5:30 in the morning [Chukle] I met a newlywed couple taking wedding photos by the river. The weather was -17 degrees and they only wore a sleeveless wedding dress. It was obvious that the bride and groom were truly in love💕. I am impressed by the fact that I am wearing three pairs of trousers (long johns, cotton trousers, and down trousers) and a skirt. She is worthy of being a Chinese woman who wants to make films in her lifetime [Clap][Clap][Clap] Tips for traveling: It is recommended to stay in Jilin the first night, get up at 5:30 in the morning and read the morning rime report issued by the "Jilin City Tour" Princess, and then choose to go to Wanlv Silver or Rime Island based on the forecast for the day. We are very lucky to have three stars [Chukle] today. If you are going to Wanlvsiyinsi, it is recommended to arrive before 7:00 in the morning. There will most likely be traffic after 7:30. In addition, this year is a warm winter and the weather is not too cold. As soon as the sun comes out, the rime starts to come around 8:30. If it falls, it won’t be so spectacular by then.

Jilin is a must-visit destination, where you can enjoy the evening breeze on the Songhua River and witness the spectacular rime scenery. As one of China's four natural wonders, Jilin's rime is breathtakingly beautiful! Rime, also known as "tree hanging," is ice crystals formed when fog and water vapor condense on branches and leaves. Seeing rime is not easy, as it requires low temperatures and high humidity. 🌟Best viewing period: The golden period for viewing Jilin's rime is from December to February, with a festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year. The five-star rime in Ashihada usually appears from late December to February, with almost daily five-star scenery in early February. Before setting off, you can check the "Jilin Rime Morning Report," which updates the rime viewing index at 5:30 am daily. If it's three stars or above, you're good to go! 🌟Best viewing spots: The Ashihada Rime Viewing Area is in the Fengman District of Jilin City, and the "Ten Thousand Silver Threads" area is free and perfect for taking rime photos! 🌟Best shooting time: From sunrise to around 9 am, the light is soft, and the fog is hazy. If you're lucky, you might catch a pink sunrise, resulting in stunning photos. After 9:30 am, the rime starts to fall, creating a beautiful "flying flowers" scene. 🌟Transportation: 🚎Bus: The Ashihada Rime "Ten Thousand Silver Threads" is 11 km from the city center. Take bus 33 for CNY 2, a 1-hour ride, and get off at the "Tongda Road" bus stop. 🚗Self-driving: You can park 1-2 km from the main entrance and walk there, easily avoiding parking issues. 🎿Alternative: If there's no five-star rime in Ashihada that day, don't be disappointed. The nearby Vanke Songhua Lake Ski Resort also offers beautiful rime scenery. 🌟Special experiences: In the Ashihada Rime Viewing Area, besides enjoying the scenery and taking photos, you can experience traditional sledding, camel riding, take photos with cute white foxes, and play with water turning into ice. There's plenty of fun! ❄️Environmental tips: Rime is beautiful yet fragile, so don't shake the trees to let the scenery last longer. Also, don't litter in the scenic area, and let's protect this icy wonderland together. Additionally, dress warmly with scarves, hats, and gloves!

I was lucky enough to see the stunning rime in Jilin. Winter in Jilin is truly a magical season. When the cold wind blows, the water vapor from the Songhua River condenses in the cold air, forming the Jilin rime, which is known as one of the "Four Natural Wonders of China." Wusong Island is located in Wulajie Manchu Town, Longtan District, Jilin City, and is one of the best places to see the rime. Zengtongtun on the island is famous for its unique tree shapes and frost-covered willows along the river. Here are some travel tips: Best season: December is a great time to visit. The ideal viewing time is from 7:00 to 11:30 every day. Clothing: Due to the extreme cold in winter, it is necessary to wear warm clothing, including down jackets, warm hats, gloves, scarves, and cold-proof shoes. Transportation: From Jilin City, you can choose to drive or take a bus. The ticket price for Wusong Island is CNY 39.9 for adults, and CNY 74.9 including the ferry ticket. Accommodation: You can choose to stay in Zengtongtun or Hantun on the island and experience the local farmhouse kang bed. The price is about CNY 100–150, including meals.

Snow is common in the north, but rime is unique to Jilin! At dawn, mist rises from the Songhua River, creating a fairyland. Soon, rime begins to "sprout" and then covers the branches, quietly blooming! When the mist dissipates, the northern landscape is breathtaking! The rime is truly a sight to behold! The rime is formed because the Songhua River maintains a water temperature of 4°C after passing through the Fengman Hydropower Station upstream. The river flows through the city, creating a huge temperature difference with the cold river surface. The evaporated water vapor greatly increases the humidity of the surrounding air, which condenses in the morning, creating this stunning rime! Ashihada - Wanluyinsi Rime Viewing Area, December 13, 2024

I set an alarm clock at 6 am that day ⏰ When I saw the three stars, I rushed there immediately. When I arrived, I was amazed. It was so beautiful. I stayed there from 7:20 to 10:20. I spent three hours there. I played with ice and hugged a little fox. It was a perfect day. PS: 1. The driver said he would charge an extra CNY10 for the empty return trip (to the train station) in the morning. 2. The little fox was fragrant and soft (the price can be negotiated). 3. You can ask the driver to take a video of you playing with ice. He is a professional! (The price can be negotiated). 4. You should eat something before you come here. It is fun here. There are also some snacks for sale.

"Thousands of silver threads of rime" is a truly poetic and picturesque sight! It usually appears in the cold winter, especially in places like Jilin, where the specific climate conditions make the rime scenery particularly spectacular. When the temperature drops sharply at night, the water vapor in the air directly condenses into ice crystals on the branches, forming what we call rime. The "thousands of silver threads" vividly describe these ice crystals shimmering in the sunlight, like thousands of silver threads hanging on the branches. In Jilin, the best time to see rime is from late December to the end of February. Especially in the Ashihada Rime Viewing Belt, a popular spot for locals, rime appears frequently. In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine on these silver-thread-like rime, the whole world seems to become crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.
