I believe many people know that the most lively nightlife in China is in the southern cities of Changsha and the Sichuan-Chongqing region with Chengdu and Chongqing.

This place is not only the intersection of Northeast Asian and Eurasian cultures but also a culinary paradise for contemporary youth.

Centennial Tribe Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Jilin Century Tribe|Crossing a century to meet you
Century Tribe Photo Guide
Tumen City, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, Century Tribe
Half-day tour of Century Tribe in Tumen, the first stop is the Century Tribe. Considering that the Century Tribe is relatively far from the city, it is recommended that sisters find a good guide or local companion in advance. It is more convenient to drive, and you can also enjoy the scenery of the border town along the way. The air in the countryside in winter is particularly fresh, and there are many Korean-style huts under the blue sky and white clouds. Driving between the Tumen River and Sunlight Mountain, North Korea is just across the river
The Century Tribe is actually a typical Korean village. A ticket is 30 yuan (reference: ticket 30r, costume 50r, photography 100r, the costume only includes clothes and braids, not makeup). You can find a hut for renting clothes inside. After entering the house, there is a particularly low kang where you can sit and warm up and taste the free rice wine~
Rent clothes:
The styles of clothes in the Century Tribe may not be as many as in the Folk Park, but they are all very cute. The total cost of clothes + braids is 50 yuan, which is cheaper than the Folk Park.
It is recommended to choose some brighter colors, which will be more photogenic in the snow. I chose a pink top and a yellow skirt, and I think the effect is not bad haha.
There will be a Korean grandma to help change clothes. Because it is colder now, you should still wear a low-neck thermal underwear inside. You can wear a down jacket when you go out to take pictures, and you won't be cold at all.
Also, the scene may be a bit chaotic when changing clothes, remember to find a place to put your clothes and bags.
Braids:
Two Korean aunts are responsible for braiding hair and wearing hair accessories. It is basically a production line and it is completed in a few minutes. The Century Tribe does not include makeup, but it provides free makeup products. It is recommended that sisters put on makeup in advance, and you can simply touch up your makeup after arriving, so you won't be in a hurry.
Photography:
If you can take pictures by yourself, just find the scene and angle. Or ask the driver or local companion to help find a photographer, the value is about 100 yuan for a single person photography including fifteen negatives (no retouching).
The effect of the camera is still different from that of the mobile phone, the texture is absolute, the photography brother is experienced and can find a place to pose, it is very worry-free, the little fairies only need to laugh, if there are sisters who want to take pictures by themselves, you can also refer to it
I am still quite satisfied. I remember that you can see a small sedan and a swing in the yard. Sisters can think about the action. The swing should be a good place to take pictures~
If the shooting time is longer, you can go into the house to warm up at any time, and it is great to chat with the sisters you meet by chance. The sisters who have taken pictures in the Folk Park said that they spent six or seven hundred in total for taking pictures there. They put more effort into makeup, but the costumes and scenery are similar to the Century Tribe, so the Century Tribe is still very cost-effective in comparison~
On the outskirts of Yanji City, Jilin Province, there is a centennial tribe. The main building is a Korean old house with a history of more than 130 years. It was built in 1877 and lasted for three years. It has a pure earthen shingle structure without a nail. It has a distinct Chaozhou architectural features. There are also 12 old houses of different styles and uses for visitors to visit and stay. It is a great place to experience folk customs, appreciate the chorus performances of the Chao people, and specialties and rice wine.

Yanji Lazy Day Tour Citywalk Guide
Day1️⃣ I arrived in Yanji at 19 o'clock. I stayed at the 🏠Yunding Internet Celebrity Light Luxury Homestay. I have to praise this homestay. It's really very ×10 clean~ And very considerate, everything is available. Warm! Comfortable! I am very satisfied with it~ The initial impression of Yanji is up!! After putting down the luggage, I changed into thick equipment. I walked 800 meters to eat the 🍚 Grandma Yuan's Ginseng Chicken Soup
Elbow rice I really like!! Others see personal preference points, there are set meals. Their rice wine can be tried~
Day2️⃣ The next morning, I didn't go to the water market early. I didn't like the various foods sold on the Internet, so I didn't go. Plus, I didn't have much appetite when I got up early. So, we slept until 7:30 and decided to go to the West Market for breakfast.
🏢Yanbian University Internet Celebrity Wall
We went out at 8 o'clock, before the West Market, we walked 500 meters to the Internet celebrity wall at the entrance of Yanbian University to take pictures~📸 The morning light is good, the sun is not dazzling and there are not many people. After a lot of snapping, I took many satisfactory photos.
🐟West Market
After the shooting, I took a taxi directly, about five yuan to the West Market. It's really cheap, and I went straight to the delicious water tofu/small tofu. You can ask for a double mix, I really love the salty tofu head. Add some chili water, eat a big chili🌶️. It's so cool!!! There are a lot of things to eat, and when you are full, you can go shopping for special products. I bought dried fish, ten yuan a bag full of one hundred is free shipping~ There is also Qixing cloth car cream rice wine, it's really good to drink (*ノ▽ノ) I'm so cute! I bought two bottles and sent them home for free shipping. I like the cream-flavored rice wine!
🧊River Amusement Park
The entertainment project of the northern baby on the frozen river surface is just opposite the West Market. The West Market walks 200 meters across the road to the river, and you can play ice cars on the frozen river. Bargaining💰35 two people take turns to play~ It's really fun!!! I have thoroughly experienced the joy of the northern baby~
📸Development Road Slope
The River Amusement Park ends at 11 o'clock, and my stomach is still quite full. I set off to take pictures on the Internet celebrity slope of Development Road📸. 4 kilometers is also quite close, a new Internet celebrity photo spot. There are not many people~ Take a satisfactory photo and continue to the next destination.
☕Beixi Coffee
In the village next to the Folk Park. We took a taxi directly from the slope and arrived in four kilometers~ I really like the eaves covered with snow. This shop is really good-looking!! The interior and exterior are very rural, but unfortunately Wednesday is the store's day off, I can only look at the door. ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅
📸Take pictures in the Folk Park
The coffee didn't go, I took a few shots at the door. Next, I walked to the Folk Park~ A few hundred meters away. Because I booked a makeup photo at 13:30, I went to the photo studio to choose clothes and makeup first~ You can also buy tickets to visit directly without wearing Korean clothes~ It's really quite characteristic!
🦀Bendaren Seafood
I went to Bendaren Seafood to eat king crab! The meal I look forward to most in Yanji٩(๑^o^๑)۶ When I went there in January, the king crab was 218/jin. Unbeatable delicious!!!
Ten Miles Spicy Mixed Flower Crab/Yan's Sister
I returned to the homestay and ordered a very🔥 spicy mixed flower crab and Yanji's unique Yan's sister milkshake. Those who love raw marinated seafood must try it! After this set, it's really worth the trip
Here's a good and delicious travel guide to Yanji!
Our travel route is from the west slope of Changbai Mountain to Yanji, the journey is quite long and requires a chartered car, about more than 3 hours by car, it is recommended not to rent a car, the road conditions are not good in snowy weather, safety first☝️
👔Dress: Although Yanji doesn't snow much, it's quite cold, mainly damp cold, I feel colder than Changbai Mountain, ladies pay attention to keep warm~
🏨Accommodation: Recommend Hanting in the Water Market, convenient for early morning market, the room is also relatively large
Check-in points:
👉Yanbian University Internet celebrity wall: suitable for night check-in, the photos are very good
👉Folk Park: mainly for taking photos of Korean costumes, Yanji princess photo, the park needs tickets about 27 yuan/person, the park is full of princesses haha, too pleasing to the eye👀
🛍️Shopping: mainly Women's World and Jinhua City, but it is not recommended to go, there is nothing good to visit, it is quite ordinary
🥣Food recommendation
Yanji is really too delicious, I hate that I only have one stomach😭
1️⃣Xing Dou Restaurant: 🌟🌟🌟
Overall average, I feel not very clean (there are oil flowers in the tea cup, the table is not very clean, most of them share tables), so I just ordered a sweet and sour pork loin and fried sauce noodles, the sweet and sour pork loin is sweet and refreshing, the fried sauce noodles are very ordinary and not used to eating;
2️⃣Han Zheng Ginseng Chicken Soup: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Super delicious, it's so satisfying to have a sip of authentic ginseng chicken soup in such cold weather, you must check in this restaurant when you come to Yanji! It's near the West Market
3️⃣Wan Xing Jia Barbecue: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
You must come to this restaurant for barbecue, there are so many locals queuing up, the meat is tender and the portion is sufficient, and you must try the raw beef and sauce crab, the complimentary apple shreds, mashed potatoes and small dishes are particularly refreshing! By the way, their cream rice wine🍶 is very good, not sour, and there is no strange smell of fermentation, remember to take a bottle if you can't finish drinking!
4️⃣Hot and Spicy Intestines: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This intestine is so fragrant, it's so fragrant to eat with a little rice, I also recommend their chicken gizzard crispy instant noodles, it's so delicious, I will order it again next time I have a chance to go!
🥡Takeaway: How can you not have fried chicken and beer when you come to Yanji, it's too cold to go out for supper, I blindly ordered takeaway bukbuk, super delicious especially this cheese rice cake😋
There are so many super popular ones that I didn't eat: Seven Star Cloth Car, Zhenhai Shell Roasted Shell, Big Exclamation Mark, Zhengtan Fried Chicken🍗
📷Yanji Princess Photo: You must experience Korean costumes when you come to Yanji, be a Yanji princess once! Photo recommendation Xifu Haitang, the makeup is beyond words~
🥬Local specialties: Recommend West Market, a lot of specialties, kimchi cream rice wine Myeongtae fish can take a little, the taste is good👍
The Undiscovered Niche Tourist Destination - Yanji
Due to its unique geographical location, Yanji, a border town full of exotic charm, has been created. Here are some recommended check-in points~
1 Water Market
Operating hours are from 5-8 am, with a wide variety of snacks. If you want to experience the morning market in Yanji, you must get up early. Personally, I think shrimp cakes and pork cakes are worth a try.
2 West Market
The local specialty wholesale market, you can visit several shops to compare prices, generally can be vacuum packed and mailed, but the variety of snacks is very few, you can understand it as a specialty supermarket, personally recommend green grape rice wine, and various types of fish slices (fish bones can be tried)
3 Korean Ethnic Park
If there is no need for photos, I personally do not recommend going, the ethnic characteristics inside are not prominent, the scenery is actually quite ordinary, I personally feel that it is a production line operation, basically can not find a quiet place
4 Yanbian Museum
Understand the development history of the Korean nationality, if you are interested in history, you can go
5 Internet Celebrity Wall Check-in
The internet celebrity coffee cup that can be seen everywhere on the side of the road, just pick one up and take a picture, because it's really hard to drink, like water mixed with a little milk tea powder and even unwilling to add sugar
Food Recommendations
1 Eel Village
The grilled eel is really delicious, you can try all three flavors
2 Barbecue
Mainly beef plough, followed by Liujiayuan and Tanbalu
3 Mingzhe Seaweed House
Seaweed rice, fried rice cake is a specialty, can be takeout
4 Master Zhang's Ginseng Chicken Soup
Two servings for three of us were just right, light and delicious, the rice mixed with soup is really delicious, other dishes are average
5 Ginseng Flower Cold Noodles
Strongly recommend pot meat, thin and crispy pot meat is not a false name, not hard at all, sweet and sour is just right, cold noodles are okay but not so amazing
