    Just returned from Jingyuetan, I must give you a look! This place has a high forest coverage rate and the air is too fresh. I strolled along the Huantan boardwalk, 17.5 kilometers long, shuttled through the forest, which is called a pleasant one. Take a sightseeing bus around the pool for a week, and you can see all the attractions. I also experienced the cruise ship, drifting slowly on the lake, watching the sparkling. By the way, I rented a four-seater self-driving car, 100 yuan an hour, driving by myself is super cool! In short, Jingyuetan is really fun

    The Puppet Manchuria Palace Museum is located at No. 5 Guangfu North Road, Changchun City. It is a palace site museum built on the former site of the Puppet Manchuria Palace. It is a national tourist attraction. The Puppet Manchu Palace Museum was once the palace of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Aixinjuelo Puyi, who lived here from 1932 to 1945. Now here restores the environment where Fu Yi once lived and worked, displaying a large number of historical materials and cultural relics, so that people can understand the first half of the last emperor and the incriminating evidence of the Japanese army in China. Enter the gate of the museum, you can first see the imperial racecourse and flower gardens that Fuyi used to have. Going east is the main building complex. The palace can be divided into the outside court for political activities and the daily life is the two parts of the inner court. Now it is opened as the Puppet Manchu Palace Exhibition Hall and the Puppet Manchu Palace Exhibition Hall. The palace is the place where the funeral service handles government affairs. The main buildings are Qinmin Building, Huaiyuan Building, Jiale Palace. Qinmin Building is the place where the funeral service is located. Among them, Jixi Building is the residence of Puyi and Queen Wanrong. It is the daily living place. Tongde Palace is the residence of the "Fugui". Jianxi Building is also known as the Bedroom Palace. During the pseudo-full period, Puyi and his "houfei" Wanrong and Yuling lived here. Qinmin Building is a two-story square circle building, with a square patio in the middle, connecting the north and south gates, and Chengguang Gate in the south. The south house on the east side of Chengguangmen is the direct office of Jigang Anzhi, the "Emperor Room Royal Hang" for the Japanese imperialists to control Puyi directly. The southeast of the second floor is the main hall, that is, the Qinmin Hall, the southwest is the west side hall, the west is the health hall, and the north is the hall. Qinmin Building is the place where the funeral service is located, and you can see the imperial costumes of the time. Huaiyuan Building is a two-story blue brick building, which is the place where the funeral service is sacrificed to the ancestors. Tongde Palace is the Japanese for Fuyi and his concubines designed and built a palace integrating office, government affairs, residence and entertainment, is the largest building in the Puppet Manchu Palace. To express the same heart and morality as the Japanese colonial rulers, the temple on the roof of the wadang and dripping water burned the word "dexin". Tongde Temple is named after this. Tongde Garden is a Japanese garden style garden designed by Japanese garden teacher Satoku. The garden is lined with movement and static, and it is a place for Fuyi and its "hou concubine" to rest and entertain. The Houdong Royal Garden built an air defense basement, and built a "Jianguo Temple" dedicated to the ancestors of the Japanese royal family, "Tianzhao Great God", in the original riding field. The Painting and Calligraphy Building is a small two-story building, and the good ancient books brought by Puyi from the Forbidden City in Beijing, the famous paintings and calligraphy of the past generations, and the precious cultural relics of the Qing Palace are stored here. When the fake full fall funeral funeral home fled the fake full palace, for easy carrying, carefully selected the most precious collection 57 boxes, all shipped to Tonghua big chestnut ditch, the remaining part was lost.

    Changying Century City is so fun! As soon as I entered the park, I first rushed to Huaxia Flying. The hanging curtain flight theater was really like flying in the sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the motherland. Then I experienced interstellar exploration, took a spacecraft through space, and the dynamic seat was accompanied by the 720° ball curtain. The speed shuttle is also good, the indoor roller coaster plus holographic projection, the excitement is full. If you are tired, you can go to the Galaxy Palace to uncover the post-production of the movie and dubb the classic film. In short, come here, absolute value!

    Changchun Zoological and Zoological Park is so fun! The tickets are affordable, and there are many cute animals in the matinee. There are Northeastern tigers, giant pandas, and giraffes. The snow cake monkey interaction is super interesting. The night scene is full of surprises, wearing Hanfu to enter the park, instantly in the west world, the demons patrol, the "Pig Bajie Back Daughter" performance is super happy. It is more expensive to eat, it is recommended to bring your own snacks. The park is good to take pictures everywhere, bring family and friends to punch in, and get a great play experience!

    There weren't many people, the weather was cool and not too hot, and it was fun to ride the scooter in the wind. I could control the speed myself, and the instructor was very serious. I rode the double-track scooter without slowing down, which was really exciting.

    During our trip to Changchun Film Studio, we were deeply impressed by its unique charm. As one of the birthplaces of Chinese cinema, it not only carries a rich history but also showcases the boundless possibilities of cinematic art. First, the studio's architecture is simple yet elegant, as if transporting us back to an era full of passion and dreams. Every detail reveals the marks of time, prompting reflection on the development of Chinese cinema. We visited several film sets, learning about each stage of filmmaking; this hands-on experience deepened our understanding of cinematic art. Furthermore, Changchun Film Studio features a rich exhibition area displaying a wealth of precious film materials and historical photographs. These exhibits not only record the hard work of filmmakers but also witness the development of Chinese cinema from its inception to its current strength. My father and I spent an unforgettable time here, developing a deeper love and respect for cinematic art. In short, Changchun Film Studio is a place brimming with historical depth and cultural atmosphere. Whether you are a film enthusiast or a history buff, it's well worth a visit. I highly recommend that everyone take the opportunity to come here and experience the charm and spirit of Chinese cinema. This trip not only broadened our horizons but also strengthened the bond between father and son; it was truly an unforgettable experience.

    As an experience I chose when visiting this city, it was not bad. What satisfied me most was that the tour guide did not have that kind of deliberately broken Northeastern accent. It was very natural and comfortable to listen to. The introduction of the street scenery mixed with the simple introduction of the city was well connected. It was also very humorous. I still remember the sentence: Kunming, the Spring City, is like spring all year round. We in the Spring City of the North hope that it will be like spring all year round. It's so interesting.

    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.
