Reverse Tourism Jilin 3
🌼 Jilin City Museum
Introduction: The exhibition is themed around the unique Jilin meteorite and the profound local culture, gradually forming an exhibition system where the basic display, thematic display, and temporary exhibitions complement each other and shine together.
🌟 Jilin City Manchu Museum
Introduction: Originally the residence of Wang Baichuan, it was built in the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932) and is one of the very few well-preserved typical Siheyuan residential buildings in Northeast China. The layout of the kang stove inside the Siheyuan and the patterns on the doors and windows all bear the characteristics of Jilin Manchu residential buildings.
✨ Jilin City Confucian Temple Museum
Introduction: Founded in 1736, it was the first Confucian temple built outside the Great Wall by the order of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It is the source of the cultural context of the Northeast and is the oldest, highest-grade, and most well-preserved group of Qing Dynasty buildings in the region.
🌈 Jilin City Art Gallery
Introduction: Art lovers can go to the second floor to see the Yuan Wu Art Gallery and appreciate the works of Teacher Yuan Wu.
🌸 Da Pang Kebab Shop (Jiefang Avenue Branch): The taste is standard, as is typical for chain stores, not amazing but not bad. The grilled chicken rack is quite good, the tofu skewers and stir-fried instant noodles have a sweet and sour taste, (the stir-fried instant noodles do not contain eggs and sausage
🌟 Kouqian Old Street Chicken Skewers: Xiamen Street; Jilin specialty, the chicken skewers are fried, very tender, and the taste is okay. Highly recommend the chicken skeleton, which has a sweet and sour taste, personally I think it's better than the chicken skewers!
Wanjia Fried Starch Noodles: Also on Xiamen Street, Jilin fried starch noodles are my favorite, paired with a tea egg, a perfect match. I've also had Hongwei fried starch noodles before, both are delicious, but Wanjia's are a bit oilier! Wanjia's tofu skewers are also good, my husband says they have a nostalgic taste
💧 Fuyuan House: Henan Street; I recommend their spicy hot pot, different from the taste in Changchun, it's also a taste from my childhood, I really like it! Their first-floor pastries are also delicious, a 300-year-old brand, a Jilin City specialty, it's just that the prices are a bit outrageous now
Xinxing Garden Dumpling House: There are many branches, next to Fuyuan House is the main store, where you can take photos and check in, the dumplings taste good, recommended
🔥 Charcoal Grilled Cold Noodles: I had it outside the Fortune Plaza, 10 yuan a serving, with two noodle cakes, the taste is quite strong, I don't really like it! There's another place near Fortune Plaza, my friend said that one is delicious, I went to the wrong one
Qianyilai Ula Manchu Hot Pot: There are many branches, I recommend the defatted pork belly and the sauerkraut at the end of the hot pot!
