This winter, I finally embarked on a journey to Jilin Wusong Island, filled with anticipation and excitement. As a travel enthusiast, the beauty of Jilin Wusong Island has long been on my bucket list. And this time, I finally had the opportunity to witness this snow-covered wonderland with my own eyes.
🚗Transportation: From Changchun, I chose to take a high-speed train and then a taxi to Wusong Island. The high-speed train takes only half an hour to reach Shuangji Station, and from there, a taxi ride to Wusong Island takes about half an hour to an hour, making it very convenient. Along the way, the scenery outside the window is picturesque, with snow-covered fields and villages, each like a carefully arranged winter scene.
🏠Accommodation: I chose to stay in Zengtongtun on the island, where there are many farmhouses offering kang beds, warm and comfortable. The prices are also very affordable, with meals and accommodation included for 100-150 yuan per person. You can also enjoy authentic Northeastern Chinese farmhouse dishes, such as sauerkraut with pork and iron pot stew, which are incredibly delicious!
🌄Wusong Wonders: The snow-covered Wusong Island is breathtakingly beautiful. The blue sky and white snow intertwine, and the rime frost looks like branches carved from white jade. Every photo taken here is like a wallpaper-worthy masterpiece. The trees here seem to be meticulously designed by nature, with various shapes, and the thick and long-lasting rime frost, along with the gentle embrace of the river, create a mysterious and romantic atmosphere. 📸 Photography enthusiasts, don't miss this perfect shooting location!
🌅Sunrise Viewing: In the early morning, I got up early and strolled along the Songhua River, waiting for the moment of sunrise. When the first rays of sunlight hit the rime frost, it felt like the whole world was illuminated. At that moment, I felt like I was in a fairy tale world, and all the fatigue and coldness disappeared. 🌅 The rime frost after sunrise shines even more brightly under the sunlight, making it a great time to take stunning photos.
🎨Cultural Experience: Wusong Island not only boasts stunning natural scenery but also has a rich cultural heritage. Located in Wula Street Manchu Town, you can learn about Manchu culture and history, visit the Wula Historical and Cultural Museum, and the Guandong Manchu Cultural Street. You can also taste authentic Manchu hot pot and experience the rich folk customs. 🍲
🛷Activities: Besides admiring the rime frost and taking beautiful photos, Wusong Island offers many fun activities. I tried skiing⛷️, ice boat tours🚤, and even fishing🎣, experiencing the tranquility and serenity of nature. Additionally, walking or cycling through the dense forest, exploring the hidden beauty and wildlife on the island, is also an unforgettable experience.
