Jilin

Jilin, which translates to "Auspicious Forest" in English, is a province in northeastern China. The geographical features of Jilin are summarized in a Chinese saying as "one mountain, three rivers."

Similar to the provincial capital Harbin in Heilongjiang province, Jilin is nationally renowned for its unique winter landscape. The province experiences a northern continental climate influenced by monsoons, characterized by long cold winters and short warm summers. Winter begins early in October and lasts until April. Despite the cold, people flock to the province to admire the famous Ice Lantern Festival. Jilin is also a well-known winter sports area and boasts some of the best ski resorts in China. Naturally, Jilin is home to many other natural and historical attractions.

Another economic factor is agriculture. The area around Changchun encompasses 1.1 million hectares of cultivated land. Additionally, Changchun is the film capital of the People's Republic. Since 1992, the Changchun Film Festival has been held there.
