Date Journey
Day 1 Palace Museum of the Manchurian Regime->Movie Wonderland
Day 2 Jingyuetan Lake

The Palace Museum of the Manchurian Regime is located on Guangfu Road in the northeast corner of Changchun City. It was the palace of the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, Aisin-Gioro Puyi, who lived here from 1932 to 1945. The main building of the Manchukuo Imperial Palace is a group of two-story buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles, including the Qinmin Building, Jixi Building and Tongde Hall. These three buildings have a unique style, combining Chinese and Western styles. Today, the environment in which Puyi once lived and worked has been restored here, and a large amount of historical materials and cultural relics are displayed, allowing people to understand the first half of the life of the last emperor and the evidence of the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in China.

The puppet palace of Puyi, the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, consists mainly of a group of two-story buildings covered with yellow glazed tiles, including the Qinmin Building, the Jixi Building and the Tongde Hall. It is divided into the Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace Exhibition Hall and the Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace Exhibition Hall. The exhibits are mainly cultural relics, documents and pictures from the puppet Manchukuo period. It is one of the relatively complete palace sites preserved in my country to this day.



Movie Wonderland is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Located in Jingyue National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Changchun City, Jilin Province, it is a movie theme park.

The entertainment projects in Movie Wonderland are divided into four major sections: innovative technology, thrills, performance experience, and amusement appreciation. The program has high technological content, strong experience and strong interactivity. The park has a flying dome theater "China Soaring", an interstellar adventure program that combines dynamic technology with spherical screen technology, an orthogonal multi-screen special theater "Space Maze", a 3D giant screen theater and a 4D theater. Changchun Film Studio owns the independent copyright of the 4D film "Extreme Laboratory".The Movie Wonderland has developed a series of film and entertainment projects around the theme of film culture. The Galaxy Palace Movie Stunt Museum reveals the secrets of movie stunts; the high-speed shuttle simulates space adventure; the eerie and terrifying ancient castle; the mysterious ancient trees with great symbolic significance; and the theme show "The Change of Stars" with Chinese characteristics. The cartoon area of ​​the children's playground is a dreamlike fairy tale world. The Lantern Culture Festival, which has been carefully built for several consecutive years and combines lantern viewing, food, entertainment, performances, shopping and leisure, is so beautiful on Changchun summer nights that visitors are reluctant to leave.

The children loved playing there. Although there were not many projects, each one had its own characteristics. We avoided the National Day holiday, so there were not many people there on the 6th. The waiting times for many projects were not particularly long, and the performances were also very distinctive.



Jingyuetan Lake is a reservoir in the southeast suburb of Changchun City. It is named after its crescent shape and is known as the sister lake of Taiwan's "Sun Moon Lake". A large area of ​​trees have been planted around Jingyuetan Lake. You can stroll along the forest trails to enjoy a forest bath, admire the scenery of lakes and mountains by the reservoir dam, breathe pure air, and relax your body and mind away from the complexity and hustle and bustle of the city. It is very pleasant.

evaluate:

Jingyuetan Lake is a shining pearl in Changchun, like "a piece of pure land in the bustling city". The four seasons here are picturesque. In spring, green willows sway gently and flowers are fragrant; in summer, the trees are shady and it is a good place to escape the summer heat; in autumn, the maple leaves are as red as fire and the forest is full of colors; in winter, the whole place is covered with snow, and it is peaceful and holy. It has vast waters, clear lakes and dense forests. It is known as "Asia's largest artificial forest sea" and has a high content of negative oxygen ions, making it a "natural oxygen bar." In addition, there are cultural landscapes such as the Bisong Jingyue Pagoda and Beiputuo Temple, which are rich in cultural connotations. Whether strolling, cycling or boating, you can be intoxicated by it and enjoy the unique charm of the perfect integration of nature and human history. It is a rare tourist destination.
