❄️Recommended Attractions:
📍 Ashi Small Rime Island
This is a relatively niche rime viewing spot in Jilin City. The aerial view is extremely spectacular! "Jilin City Tour" will push the rime index of the day at around 5:30 am. If it reaches 3 stars or more, you can rush over without hesitation. The fog here is heavy around sunrise, and it starts to dissipate gradually after 8 am.
📍 Changbai Mountain Huamei Resort
You can ski here and soak in the outdoor hot springs with a snowy view. Don't miss taking photos in the Swiss town during the blue hour. The small road opposite the parking lot offers stunning views, and if it snows, every photo can be a masterpiece.
📍 Yanji
Yanji doesn't have many attractions, but the most photogenic ones are the internet-famous building opposite the south gate of Yanji University and wearing Korean ethnic costumes for photos at the "Korean Ethnic Park." This is a food paradise, and you can't miss the ginseng chicken soup, rice soup, barbecue, and fried chicken.
📍 Laolike Lake & Xueling
The fairy-tale log cabins at Laolike Lake look like animated scenes, and the snow-covered pine trees on Xueling resemble Christmas trees 🎄, making for excellent photo opportunities.
📍 Erdaobaihe
Erdaobaihe offers a variety of dining and accommodation options. You can experience the snowman group and cafes at Zhihuo. It's recommended to spend a day here for sightseeing and relaxation.
❄️Transportation:
🚗 If you choose to drive, be sure to select a vehicle equipped with snow tires. If you have no experience driving on snow, be cautious and control your speed.
🚄 You can also choose high-speed rail + car rental, which is more cost-effective.

Thousands of Silver Threads of Rime
"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.
However, to enjoy such a beautiful sight, you have to get up early! As the sun rises and the temperature gradually increases, the rime will slowly melt and fall off. So, if you want to see the stunning beauty of "thousands of silver threads of rime," you have to hurry and go early!
Also, don't forget to keep warm while watching the rime, as it is in the cold winter!
