Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, Lying in southeastern Jilin Province, the junction of China and Korea, Changbai Mountain is famous for its beautiful scenery and rich resources of animals and plants. The main peak, Baitou (White-Headed) peak, is 2,691 meters above sea level. Covering a total of 2,000 square kilometers, Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, a mammoth natural zoo and botanical garden, is part of the UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere Program. Peaks, sea of forests, Tianchi Lake, waterfalls and hot springs are local natural wonders.
　

Tianchi Lake
　

     Tianchi Lake, or the Heavenly Lake, with an elevation of 2,194 meters, is the highest volcanic lake in China. Almost 10 square kilometers in area and 204 meters in average depth, it makes the boundary of China and Korea. Skirted on all sides by mountains, the lake is known for its sublime natural beauty.

Rimed Trees
　

      The rimed trees of Jilin are extolled as one of four major natural wonders of China along with the landscape of Guilin, the Stone Forest of Yunan and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. In winter, the Songhua River keeps flowing through Jilin despite the subfreezing temperature, and the vapor rising from the surface of the river freezes when it meets the branches of pines and willows ashore. Thus encrusted with layers upon layers of ice, the tree branches and twigs look transparent and form a spectacular crystal world that never fails to attract visitors.

Songhua Lake
　

     The 550-square-km Songhua Lake in southeast Jilin City is part of a national scenic resort with limpid water and elegant mountains. Like Songhua River, the lake looks exceptionally attractive in winter with rimed trees.

The Capital City and Tombs of China’s Ancient Koguryo Kingdom
　

     Located in Ji’an City of northeast China’s Jilin Province and Huanren Manchu Autonomous County of neighboring Liaoning province, the Capital City and Tombs of China’s Ancient Koguryo Kingdom is comprised of three cities and 40 tombs; namely Wunu Mountain City, Guonei City and Wandu Mountain City, as well as 14 tombs for imperial families and 26 noble’s tombs. All these belong to the Koguryo culture, a dynasty that once ruled over parts of northern China and the northern half of the Korean Peninsula from 37 BC to 668AD.
　

     As a part of the Koguryo culture, Guonei City, Wandu Mountain City, king’s tombs and Noble’s tombs are the masterpieces of capital construction; while the ancient tombs are the epitome of Koguryo’s architectural and art achievements. On July 2 2004, in the 28th session of the World Heritage Committee Convention in Suzhou, the Capital City and Tombs of China’s Ancient Koguryo Kingdom were inscribed on the World Heritage List.
　

Puppet State’s Imperial Palace
　

     Changchun used to be the capital of the puppet “Manchukuo State” backed up by Japanese invaders during the War Against Japanese Invasion. During his 1932-1945 tenure as the bogus emperor, the last emperor had left a legacy there, including his imperial palace, the puppet state council and many other large buildings with different styles.
