Things to do in Linjiang

It's best to arrive early during holidays; they say it gets completely congested in the afternoons during the National Day holiday. The one-way traffic system prevents backtracking; you can stop, play for a while, then drive on and play again – the organization is quite scientific. The staff are very responsible in directing traffic. There are only so many parking spaces inside; you can only move forward after the people in front have finished playing and left. The core area is the alpine meadow, and at the end there's a small grove and a viewing platform. On a clear day, you can see Changbai Mountain (the snow-capped peak in picture 6) slightly to the east and south from the viewing platform – a truly delightful surprise.

There's no entrance fee; admission is free. A visit takes about half an hour. It's 500 meters from National Highway G331, so you can stop by if you're passing by.

The filming location of the movie "Five Golden Flowers". The scenery is naturally beautiful, suitable for overnight stay. After breakfast, climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and record the beautiful scenery while walking, which is very meaningful. I came with my family and stayed in a big bunk bed. The food was good. The roasted lamb leg and stewed river carp tasted good. Recommended.

The island is covered with green plants and has a beautiful environment. People come and go along the Yalu River, taking photos. You can see the foreign scenery on the other side. The air is fresh. Walking on the road around the island, you can smell the fragrance of flowers and listen to light music. Some people are running, walking, and exercising. It is really a good place to relax.

It was great. There were many people there when I went, which was quite impressive. The scenery inside was also very nice, the architecture was great, and the transportation was very convenient.

I had long heard of the Shenyang Palace Museum and always wanted to visit it. Finally, I had the opportunity to come here. I queued up to enter the palace and slowly browsed through the various halls with the crowd. I felt the weight and vicissitudes of history. The palace remains, but the people come and go. The world changes, and everything has changed.

There were so many people and tourists that I didn't have time to take in many things. It's like a low-end version of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Many of the artifacts on display were discarded from the Forbidden City. Some rooms were off-limits, so people crowded around the entrances to take photos. There was no lighting inside, so the photos didn't look great. The architecture is still quite distinctive.

Changbai Mountain, true to its name, is incredibly clean! The restrooms in all areas were spotless, with sensor-activated flushes and hot water for handwashing – a truly touching experience for an autumn/winter trip. The restrooms had different themes, such as sables and black bears, adding a touch of vibrancy. We arrived a little late; most of the leaves had fallen, and it was the dry season, so the waterfalls weren't at their most beautiful. The small Tianchi Lake wasn't worth visiting yet; it's small, the water quality is so-so, and the surrounding forests are bare. Overall, the autumn air was crisp and clear. The 50-kilometer stretch from the distribution center to the transfer center was beautiful, vibrant with color, and Tianchi Lake was stunning. I especially loved the forest at the bottom of the valley; the pine scent was wonderful! I highly recommend walking to the end; there are vast, fairytale-like forests there, and we were lucky enough to encounter foxes and quite a few chipmunks along the way!

I was truly healed by the forest oxygen bar in this city. ✅ Goddess Square: The main landmark, with a musical fountain show on the hour ⛲️ ✅ Reservoir Dam: The best viewing spot around the lake, a filming location for the movie "The World," absolutely stunning at sunset. ✅ Black Pine Forest: Tall, straight black pines reaching for the sky; a short walk along the wooden boardwalk after getting off the bus creates great photo opportunities. The park is very large; I didn't get to explore the whole thing.

The newly opened hotel was clean, had good service, and a plentiful breakfast. The hotel's location was also very convenient, just ten minutes from the mountain gate and the train station, with a shuttle bus available. The Meiren Pine Park was right across the street, and there was a food street behind the hotel. It was also very close by taxi to the Shidai Fried Chicken and Lianyu Soup Rice commercial street. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay.
