Enjoy the smell of a fresh northern summer

We visited Jingyuetan during the national school summer holidays in July. It was incredibly quiet. An important consideration when visiting the park is how to get around. The park would take hours to walk around. The park offers a range of transport options. You can hire an electric buggy, but need to have had your China driving license for more than 2 years. You can also hire a range of bicycles. We decided to pay for the park bus which was only 20rmb for an unlimited wristband. There are many stops within the park and a bus comes every 10 minutes or so. The park feels very unique in China, it feels more like northern Europe because Changchun is so far north. The trees are very tall and walking through the park is a cool and relaxing experience in the height of the Chinese summer. There is lots to do in park including watersports, a small animal park and a range of walking trails. The park/ reserve is a long drive out of the city itself but the roads are easy and there is a multi level parking lot right next to the park. Jingyuetan is well worth a day out and can easily occupy a whole day.
