Jilin City is one of the important birthplaces of the Manchu people. The Manchu people and their ancestors have lived and thrived on this land for generations. The "Jilin Manchu Exhibition" at the Jilin Manchu Museum highlights the regional and ethnic characteristics, showcasing not only the folk customs and traditions of the Jilin Manchu people and their ancestors but also the true history of Jilin City. This includes its role as a sacred ancestral worship site for the Qing Dynasty's royal family, a strategic hub for governing Northeast China, the establishment of the Dasa Wula General's Yamen, shipbuilding factories, the inland water navy, the Eight Banners' Yanwu Hall, the construction of Jilin City, the appointment of generals, the establishment of the provincial capital, and the imperial construction of the Xiaobai Mountain Wangji Temple. The Jilin Manchu Museum is housed in the former residence of Wang Baichuan (also known as the Wang Baichuan Courtyard), originally built in 1932. It is the only well-preserved, typical quadrangle dwelling from the Qing Dynasty to the Republican period in Jilin City, and one of the few well-preserved quadrangle dwellings in Northeast China. The layout of the indoor heated brick beds and stoves, as well as the patterns on the doors and windows, all bear the characteristics of Manchu dwellings in Jilin. In 1999, it was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Jilin Province. Jilin Manchu Museum

#Register for February Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 This time the family came to Yitong Manchu Autonomous County in Jilin Province, which is a great place to experience the traditional Manchu culture! On the first day, I took my son to the Yitong Manchu Museum, which displays Manchu historical relics, costumes and daily utensils. Through the interactive exhibition area, the children can learn about shaman culture and horse riding and archery traditions. Then go to the nearby "Manchu Folk Village" to experience paper cutting and taste the Manchu Eight Bowls, such as sauerkraut and pork pot and sticky bean buns, the authentic flavor is unforgettable. It is recommended that families participate in the handmade rice cake making activity. Not only can they have fun together with their children, but they can also bring back unique souvenirs. The county’s natural landscapes are also not to be missed, such as Dagu Mountain, where red leaves are flying in the autumn, making it a great place for the whole family to hike and take photos.

When I was sorting out my photo albums a few days ago, I found that I hadn’t posted the guide for my trip to Jilin last year. I’m going to make up for it while I still remember it. My friend and I went to Jilin and Changchun at the end of December last year, which was during the New Year's Eve. Let’s not waste any more time and get straight to the point. 1️⃣ Jilin City Manchu Museum No tickets required. It looks like a big courtyard. Coincidentally, it was snowing heavily on the day we went there, so the red and white colors complemented each other perfectly. The photos are very good. But the collections inside are not actually very rich, their main purpose is to let everyone understand the origin of the Manchu people. I don't think it's necessary to come here specially, but you can visit it if you are in the right place. 2️⃣Jilin City Catholic Church It's great for taking photos. The opposite side of the road feels like the best spot, with not many people. The weather was bad that day, it was cloudy and drizzling. It would have been better if the sun was shining. The church is quite large and the stained glass windows inside are very beautiful. I heard that it would look better at night with lights on. The day we went was Sunday and there was a service in the morning, so we could not enter until after 10:00. The rest was just strolling around on the road, and we also went to Beishan Park, which is a very large park. When we went there, it was winter, so there were many children skating on the ice under the park. Restaurant 😎 1️⃣Fengfeng Restaurant Recommended: Fried dumplings and snow bean paste. It feels like a small restaurant that Jilin locals would eat at when they don't want to cook. The taste is pretty standard and you can't go wrong with it, but if you say it's amazing, that's not the case hahahaha. Few shops are willing to make snow-white bean paste now because it is rather troublesome. It requires beating egg whites, adding a lot of oil, and then kneading it well afterwards, otherwise it will easily seep into the oil. I think the fried buns are a bit salty. But overall it's okay. 2️⃣Qianyilai Wula Manchu Hotpot Cloisonné copper pot hotpot, a Manchu hotpot you must try. The bottom of the pot contains bone broth and seafood soup, which has a different taste from the old Beijing copper pot hot pot meat, but is also delicious. The most distinctive dish is the pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat, which tastes pretty good and the mutton is also very fresh. Other specialties include hazel mushrooms, sauerkraut, day lily, and blood sausage. The more they are cooked, the better they taste. Come and try them~ city

🌺Jilin City is really fun! 🛫Location: Jilin City, Jilin Province 🚗Transportation: Jilin Station 🌺For my trip to the Northeast, I chose to fly from Longjia Airport and reserved 1 day. I originally wanted to go to Changchun, but I heard from my colleagues that Jilin is more fun, so I decisively chose Jilin. 🌺Overall experience: It is the city with the lowest expectations, but it gave me the biggest surprise‼️‼️So I strongly recommend this city that is not famous but very worthwhile. 🌺Accommodation: It is recommended to choose to stay in Changyi District, which is close to many attractions and there are many places to eat. 🌺Travel: The biggest feeling from Changbai Mountain to Jilin is that the taxi has finally returned to normal, and you can get a taxi wherever you go! And most of the taxi fares are less than 10 yuan.

These three restaurants are randomly selected, strongly recommended, no pitfall! And the cost of living in Jilin is really low, basically each meal is around 100. Travel route: 1️⃣Ten thousand strands of silver thread: The rime is very good, just take a taxi to the parking lot of ten thousand strands of silver thread, I personally think it is more worthwhile and cost-effective than Rime Island, no tickets are needed, and it is close to the city, and it is also close to other attractions. ‼️‼️It is recommended to pay attention to the Jilin Rime Princess number in advance, and the rime index of various places will be broadcast at 6 o'clock every morning, and you can rush to it with confidence when you reach 5 stars! 2️⃣Beishan Park: A park that is simply too good, it is very photogenic wherever you take pictures, and it feels like you have been to the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, and Shichahai in Beijing at the same time! 0 tickets. 3️⃣Songhua River Railway Bridge: Take a taxi and locate Songtie Xiuyuan, the bridge and the lake in the snow are very beautiful! 4️⃣Manchu Museum: Highly recommended, you can experience the customs and culture of the Manchu 5️⃣Jilin Meteorite Museum: The Meteorite Museum is very good, with a sense of technology, you can visit it, but you need to make an appointment in advance, if you didn't get a ticket the day before, it is recommended to squat on the princess number early the next morning, the other exhibition areas of the Jilin Museum are relatively ordinary, you can skip it if you don't have time. 6️⃣Catholic Church: Remember to locate the Catholic Church by taxi, not the Catholic Church! It is a church building by the river, you can also go to check in 7️⃣Jilin Machine Bureau Site: It retains the modern style of architecture, which looks historical in the snow, it is recommended to check in!
