Early December saw very little snow, significantly diminishing the beauty of Jingyuetan and making it seem rather ordinary. It also got dark quickly, around 4:30 PM, further reducing the scenic appeal. The park's public transportation wasn't as crowded as some summer visitors had reported, making it very convenient, and the drivers were all very friendly and helpful. I recommend that visitors who want to see the beautiful scenery wait until late December for better value.
Very good choice. ...

As one of the most famous attractions in Changchun, the public must go and see it out of curiosity about the living scenes of Puyi and his concubines in the puppet Manchukuo. There are many tourists, but the overall feeling is average. It is the kind of situation where you will regret it if you don’t go.
By comparing the photos, we can see that the restoration work was done very well. Although the decoration was done in the later stage, it was faithful to the original appearance and restored the living environment of the puppet Manchukuo emperor Puyi. Just think about it, more than 80 years ago, this was the cage and stage that the Japanese pirates made for Puyi.

Not far from the east gate is the red panda enclosure, which is indoors. The red pandas are incredibly cute! Around 2 PM, the keepers will give the pandas a snack. You can observe them eating up close!
Superb! The emotional value of seeing the Snow Cracker Monkey from Shanxi was off the charts! Beautiful Changchun, I'll definitely come again next time! The only regret is that I didn't get an autographed photo because I didn't buy the ticket through Douyin.

Changchun's attractions are all very concentrated. The Changchun Film Studio is divided into a free part and a paid part. If you are not a movie fan or are interested in the history of movies, you can just visit the free part. There are some things that ordinary people don't understand. There are also many things on display in the cinema corridor.
It has created, shot and translated more than 3,600 films of various types and supplied more than 2,000 film talents of various types to the whole country... Founded in 1945, Changchun Film Studio is known as the "Cradle of New China's Film."

This is my second time here. I didn't have enough fun last time, so I came here again with my friends. There were not many people. The customer service lady also gave us two tickets to the music festival. I will come to participate in the music festival again. The cable car was slow, but the scooter and double slide were very fast. It was very exciting and fun. The environment here is also very good, and there are many small flowers outside. I will come here to play next time.
I came here to experience the ropeway, cable car, and scooter. The experience was great. The ropeway and cable car staff took the initiative to guide us and reminded us of safety precautions. I felt relieved and safe when going up the mountain. The scooter was fun and safe! The staff helped me put on protective gear and taught me how to operate it. I was supervised throughout the whole process and had a blast. The environment was great and there was a beautiful campsite on the top of the mountain. I will come again next time.

We went to see the giant pandas, but everyone was asleep at noon. You can only enter the Giant Panda Pavilion once. The Siberian tigers and giant pandas are worth seeing, but the rest is just okay. You have to pay a separate fee to take the tour bus around the park. Jingyuetan Lake is located at the north gate, so if you want to go there, you need to pay a fee to visit it.
The Siberian Tiger Park has many tigers, pandas, black bears, and various birds. There are also regular equestrian and acrobatic performances. You can buy a sightseeing bus ticket to take it back and forth, which saves time and effort. Parking is free at the door. It's quite good.

Vintage tram creates nostalgic vibe
Saved by 110 users102 positive reviews

As a tram enthusiast, I booked this tour a day in advance, partly to experience the nostalgic tram ride and partly to visit the tram factory and museum. However, an hour before departure, I received a call from the guide saying that the tram I wanted to ride on had too few participants and wouldn't be running, so they upgraded me to the most luxurious tram. That tram was indeed more luxurious than the one I wanted, and it even had a singer performing. But that was more suitable for young people to take photos, while I was interested in the tram itself, focusing more on the technical aspects. The last time I came to Changchun and took the No. 54 tram was 18 years ago, before Changchun developed its tram system into a cultural tourism product, and I also couldn't go inside the tram factory. After explaining my situation to the guide, Liu Wei actively coordinated for me, and finally, within my last day in Changchun, my wish to go inside the tram factory was fulfilled. I was the only one in the group; it was VIP treatment! In the tram factory's museum (exhibition room), I learned about the history and current status of Changchun trams. I also learned for the first time that during the Japanese occupation, one of Changchun's tram lines was used for transporting coal! Although the workshop and depot are not as large as the Xiaopingdao Depot of Dalian's Route 202, it is still worth a visit as Changchun's only tram factory.
Changchun Tram Line 54, first opened in 1941, has been in operation for over 80 years and has undergone several reforms. Even in the 1990s, many people still preferred this tram because it avoided traffic jams. Despite major changes in public transportation, the route was extended and altered, but this line was preserved due to practical needs. In 1996, it became the only remaining tram line in Changchun. In 2000, Line 54 underwent further reforms, and in 2017, antique-style trams were put into operation, initiating a cultural and tourism integration model. In recent years, the filming of the TV series "The World" has brought Line 54 back into the spotlight, adding new cultural and tourism elements. It was designated a National Industrial Heritage Site in 2025. The "sweep-only, no transport" landscape along the tracks is a unique form of maintenance.
Basic Information: Starting Station: Changying Station (opposite the former Changying Film Studio). Terminal Station: Xi'an Road Station.
Transportation: Take Line 3 from Changchun Railway Station to Huxiqiao Station, then walk for 20 minutes.
Nearby attractions: Former site of Changchun Film Studio, "This Mountain" (commercial complex)
Types of Tram Route 54:
Type 1: Green retro tram (free, not in operation). The tram stops at the entrance of the "This Mountain" commercial complex, marked with "G54 Free Visit to the Antique Tram". Note that this is for free viewing and photo opportunities only; it does not operate.
Type 2: Operating tram. 2 yuan, same as public buses, pay by scanning a code. Red and white trams run every 3-5 minutes, the entire journey takes 1 hour.
Type 3: Cultural tourism series tram. Day ticket: 88 yuan, 9:00-17:00; Night ticket: 118 yuan, 17:00-21:00. Advance booking is required. It does not depart on a walk-in basis; there are fixed departure times. The round trip, including the visit, takes approximately 1.5 hours. Customer service will contact passengers who have booked tickets in advance to select the tram time. A complimentary cup of coffee or milk tea is provided on board. There is a guided tour. At the terminal station, you can visit an exhibition hall and the former tram repair workshop before returning along the same route. On the return trip, you can buy cultural and creative products. Lei Jiayin's seat was the second one on the right when he boarded. The cultural and tourism trains are also divided into several series. Some trains are decorated with retro themes, some are decorated with cute pink tiger designs, and some even have live performances, which are quite characteristic of Changchun.

It is full of strong Northeastern style, and you can fully appreciate the unique charm of Green Errenzhuan. Every Errenzhuan actor on the stage has superb skills and unique skills. Although they have different personalities, they are all witty and humorous. The whole atmosphere is very joyful, and you can feel the enthusiasm and boldness of the Northeastern people.
The first time I watched Liu Laogen, I had a very good feeling. It fully reflects the customs and language culture of the Northeast region. Although a lot of the language is joking, it also shows that the locals are smart and their lives are interesting. At the same time, it can adjust people's emotions and make people happy. It is highly recommended.

Lokasinya sangat strategis. Di depannya bahkan ada Wanda Plaza, Changchun Film Studio dan jalur kereta 54. Dalam Mall nya sendiri, landscapingnya cukup menarik. Terasa seperti tempat wisata di area pegunungan.
This is probably Changchun's hottest mall right now. It's quite unique and fun to shop at, with plenty of specialty shops and performances like piano and singing. The only downside is that the restaurants are a bit ordinary, mostly chain stores you'd find anywhere.
Some say it's Changchun's Hongyadong. The uphill shopping trip in Figure 4 even feels a bit like Kyoto's Ninnenzaka.
