Yanji - I want the whole world to know you

 

I had never traveled far away before going to college. I spent more than ten years in the fertile land of Yanbian. This city is not big, it can even be said to be a little small. There are not many scenic spots here, and the economic situation is even worse than that of going north. Guangshen. But even so, I will unconsciously pay attention to your news every moment and everywhere. When browsing the web, words like "Yanbian" and "Yanji" will be like octopuses suddenly emerging from the vast deep sea. It quickly grabbed my eyeballs with its powerful tentacles.

 

 

Especially when I went to college and came to a strange city, walked through the busy streets, passed through the rows of high-rise buildings, and felt the humidity and heat that I rarely experienced in the north. The memories and emotions of my hometown have been imprinted deep in my blood. There will always be blisters in my heart like boiling water on some cold nights.

 

 

When new students meet, self-introduction is an essential part.

"Hello, classmates, my name is XXX, from Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province..."

"Yanbian? Where is it?"

Whenever I encounter such a question, I wish I could tell you everything I know about Yanbian, because Yanbian is really good and I want to introduce you to the world.

 

 

How can you spend a wonderful time traveling in this city?

Whether you visit during the day and feel the visual impact of different colors intertwined, or come at night to appreciate the shady scenes. The light and shadow are flashing, and this is a place worth checking in.

SUMMER

Korean Folk Garden

As a newly developed tourist attraction in Yanji City, the China Korean Folk Garden is a check-in point you can’t miss. It is located near the intersection of Yannan Road and Yanlong Road in Yanji City, at the foot of Maoer Mountain.

 

This is a tourist place that collects and preserves the wisdom and atmosphere of Korean culture. Here you can appreciate and experience the traditional living habits of the Korean people, enjoy the cheerful Korean songs and dances, and experience the most simple and authentic Korean culture.

Before entering the folk custom garden, you will walk through a road full of Korean style. Both sides of the road are lined with antique buildings with red walls and blue tiles. The raised cornices at the four corners of the small building are like skylarks looking up at the sky, vivid and lifelike. As long as you get closer you can hear the sweet cries.

 

 

Go up the stairs and enter the wooden gate on the left. You can enter the park without a ticket.

All the buildings in the park have restored the most original traditional Korean house style one to one. The kimchi vat in front of the door is also a memory of my childhood. I will never forget the scene of sneaking into the vat to eat spicy cabbage with my grandma on my back.

 

 

The Summer Day Times

When you first enter the park, you will see a series of tall wooden piles. If you get closer, you will find that each wooden pile is carved with a totem-like human face. This is "Chang Cheng". It is a Korean folk religious idol used to pray for blessings. It gradually disappeared until the middle of the 20th century.

Walking along the path, you will see a small house selling traditional Korean handicrafts. You will be dazzled by various exquisite dolls and accessories. You will want to take all these little cuties home.

 

The Korean people are good at singing and dancing. During the off-season, people always gather together and dance to the melodious music of gayageum.

Here, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also sit down and quietly experience Korean traditional pottery making. Or go to the wine shop behind the house and have a glass of fragrant rice wine.
