 Located in the
middle-latitude zone in the Northern Hemisphere
and in the hinterland of the Northeast Plain of
China, Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province,
covers a total area of 20,532 square kilometers and has a
population of 7.1 million. Jilin is part of the
historic territory of the Manchus, founders of
the Qing dynasty which was later seized by the
Japanese and was turned into the state of
Manchukuo. This city has some remarkable
tourist attractions that is found in Jilin
Province. Use this travel guide to explore the
city of Changchun which spreads out from north
to south which sometimes makes traveling a bit
difficult. This city is separated into two
sections by the famous Yitong He River Photo:
Puppet Manchuria whereby
most of the interesting places of interest are located on
the Palace Museum western section of the river.
 Also
famously known as the
'Spring City of North China', Changchun is fresh
green in spring while it is full of lushly trees
in the summer. It then becomes bright colored in late
autumn and then it changes to white in the
winter as it is covered by thick layers of snow.
The scenery seen here is one of the most
spectacular you will ever seen in Asia and a
haven for shutter bugs. It is definitely an ideal place for visitors to
visit and do sightseeing all year long. This city was the
Japanese capital of Manchukuo between the early
1930's to mid 1940's until the arrival of the
Russians in the mid 1940's. The Kuomintang came
after that while the city was in the control of
the Communists since 1948. Changchun has the first
car manufacturing facilities in China producing
the Jiefang trucks and the Red Flag limousines.
