Changchun is just one of many cities in northern China trying to make some use of the most obvious natural resource at this time of the year -- "Ice and Snow".

The city has undergone a facelift during the last couple years to attract tourist. If you have one week to spend in Changchun, I would recommend you to cruise around the city for one day, visiting the Manchurian Palace followed by a nice meal in the "restaurant street" downtown. Then for the rest of the whole time, stay and play in Jingyuetan Natural Reserve Park, where you can find what you have been promised and what you come here for – ice, snow, forest, winter action. After have been Skiing during the day, sleep in one of those cute wooden villas at night...

The only bummer of this trip was it didn't snow a flake during the whole week. But thank god there were still a thin layer of snow left on the ground so I managed to present a visually decent "ice and snow wonderland" to you.

Enjoy the show and let me know what you think of it!
