My favorite Chinese city, was living there for half year, and I liked it so much that I went back for another whole year. Changchun is pretty calm for a Chinese city (except for the traffic) and doesn't feel crowded. Streets are clean, buildings feel new. Trees have been planted everywhere. It's sorrounded by green fields. Some km south it's full of lush forests. End of summer and fall have beautiful partly cloudy blue skies with strong winds. I think it's the best time of the year to walk around and get to know it. Winter in changchun 🥲is amazing. I can still remember the frozen ponds of water everywhere. Buildings with tents covering the doors to avoid the cold getting in. My frozen glasses. The light snow falling. Night at 4 pm. Taking the high speed train to Harbin. Wish I could go back sometime.
i'm considering changchun ski resort for my upcoming winter trip in harbin. Do you have any recommendations for a good ski resort in chnagchun and does it offer accommodation as well in the resort. As i'm not getting much info about it in the internet.
I have traveled to several Chinese cities, Changchun is my no.1. Because unlike many other Chinese cities, Changchun has fewer skyscrapers (don't know why). So the view in Changchun is very broad with the high and blue sky. Furthermore, Changchun has a nice weather, especially cool and sunny summer. Most important, most of Chinese people are relatively shy and intro, but I was told that northeastern Chinese are outgoing and welcoming. After traveling there, I am sure they are😊
I studied in Jilin University Changchun for one term, it's a cool city cheaper than let's say Beijing or Shanghai. The only downside is that it looks too industrial which makes it look bland and boring and it doesn't take too long too see everything there. Did you ever go to see the puppet Manchurian palace? Its a must see.

Hearing more and more forecasts that China's economy is struggling to get back up and running... and some saying they will have a debt and property crisis.... What are you seeing?
The talk is true. You don't really feel it too much on the ground in day to day life but people are spending less and many people's salaries have been cut significantly.

哈哈,这是我的家乡。这是我第一次在RUclips上观看外国人解说我的家乡😮
Looks pretty good
Walking is definitely more my speed! Dodging those busses looked frightening!!
Very interesting tour of Changchun! Love the alley with all the lanterns. Looking forward to more!
A very good video, the first time I've heard a foreigner speak Chinese with a Northeastern accent, it feels very familiar!
Thanks for your support!
Nice to see you riding
Never saw Changchun with such blue skies.
👍
It's Hsinking, the Grand Capital of Manchukuo
Haven't been in several years, but it all looks very familiar
Any plans to come back to China?
@@chopsticksandtrains we're thinking about going back next year for the spring festival

Oh that's cool! Yes, I have been there indeed! Definitely worth a visit!
Great video. Used to live there. Nice to see it again.
Btw, ever watch the channel "China Truths"?
Thanks! I don't recall watching that channel but I can check it out!

Jealous of that air quality.
Not all days are like this - some days can get really smoggy, but this was definitely a beautiful day! Glad I had the chance to get out and enjoy it!
