Changbai Mountain, Jilin Songhua Lake and some relics are well-known scenic spots and historical sites. The traditional specialties are pilose antler, ginseng, marten, which are called "three kinds of treasures" in the northeast, and Changchun ginseng cigarette, Jilin Sanbao wine, Tonghua wine, etc China Pictures.
From Harbin we headed east towards Korea with our final destination being Changbai Shan. Changbai Shan is a Mountain and National Park and is also a spiritual place for the Korean and Chinese cultures. We took a bus in the early morning from Harbin to Jilin (~ 4 hours). Mostly we passed drying Corn fields along the way. The air didn't get any better either. We had a nice stay at the Home Inn in Jilin and went for Mongolian hot pot again. The people here were especially friendly. A boy named, Mike,
Hey just wanted to keep you all posted with our plans and current location. We are currently in Jilin which is in, duh, Jilin province. We spent the last few days in Harbin checking out the city and are turning our heads towards China's National Park and Border with North Korea, ChangBai Shan. We don't plan to go to the DPRK but there is a pretty interesting tourist area in that area that we are hoping to check out. There is more to come from Beijing and from Harbin. We'll try to post in the next day or so China Pictures.
