Need a break from Beijing’s hustle? Pack your bags for Jilin Province, a northeast China gem just two hours away by flight or high-speed train! 🌄 CGTN’s Rachel recently zipped from the capital to Yanji, Jilin’s cultural hotspot, proving adventure is closer than you think.
Why Jilin?
Think misty rolling hills straight out of a fantasy novel 🏞️, forests so dense they’ll make your Instagram followers swoon, and winterscapes that rival Frozen’s Arendelle. But it’s not just about the views: Jilin serves up a cultural cocktail of Korean-Chinese traditions (hello, spicy Yanji noodles!) and outdoor thrills like skiing and hot springs.
Getting There is a Breeze
No 10-hour train marathons here! Opt for a quick flight or hop on China’s iconic high-speed rail – perfect for that ‘plotting my next Reels content’ downtime. 🚅 Pro tip: Visit in winter for snow festivals, or summer for hiking trails that’ll have you #Wanderlusting all year round.
