The peculiarity of the city of Changchun

The city of "Eternal Spring", translation of Changchun, is a city with fairly recent constructions. Indeed, its importance only began at the end of the 19th century, when it became the terminal station of the Manchurian train. Thus, it is quite surprising its profile full of skyscrapers and large squares. Among the most remarkable historical monuments of the city is the Imperial Palace, for example. This large palace was the residence of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi. The last emperor before China became a republic. History shows that this figure was nothing more than a puppet of the so-called Manchu government. A puppet of the Japanese invaders of the time. For this reason, the palace is known as the Imperial Puppet Palace. Inside the palace, it is essential to visit the Imperial Manchu State Palace Museum. The exhibition space has an area of about 47,000 square meters, divided into three parts. The first one shows us the history of the colonial part. Another part is devoted to temporary exhibitions. In addition, the last of the areas is responsible for illustrating the life of the emperor and his concubines. It is also interesting to visit the Wenhua square, a very pleasant urban meeting place. Here, around it, we will find a number of historical buildings from the Manchu period. One of them is the New Palace of the Manchu Emperor, which was supposed to replace the Imperial Palace. There are also buildings such as the State Council and Military Affairs of Manchuria and other buildings affiliated with the present Jilin University. Another very interesting square is the one known as Plaza del Pueblo. This square commemorates the Russian soldiers who died trying to liberate Changchun during World War II. Today it is a very lively square, one of the most active points in the city.

During the summer, this lake is full of locals who practice water sports. Moreover, during the winter the lake freezes, which shows us a romantic and quiet landscape. We also highlight the Jingyuetan National Forest Park, which is a little far from the city center, about 40 minutes, but its visit involves going to the largest artificial park in Asia. Undoubtedly a marvel that we cannot fail to visit. It should be noted that this park turns into an excellent ski slope during the winter.
