Jilin Changbai Mountain's Three Major Resort Areas! New Ways to Cool Off in Summer

After driving back from Jilin, I tested all three major resort areas around Changbai Mountain—none can be missed! Here’s my summer cooling-off experience: 1. Songhua River Ecotourism Scenic Area: A great place for boat rides, camping, and relaxing How to play? Mainly by boat! I recommend taking a boat from Renyi Wharf to Yimeng Island campsite (round trip). Although you can drive to the island, riding the boat with the river breeze and enjoying the scenery on both sides is so refreshing and cool—southern summers just can’t compare! Yimeng Island highlights: This is a perfect peninsula for zoning out! There are guesthouses, cafes, restaurants, and vast grasslands and tidal flats that look like a prairie at first glance—great for photos. Strongly suggest staying overnight! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and you can taste the fresh Songhua River fish. ✅ Suggestion: Driving here is the most convenient. 2. Changbai Mountain Wanda International Resort: Not just skiing, summer is amazing too! * Winter skiing is top-notch, and summer becomes a summer paradise for friends from the south! Summer activities: Camping by the lake under the shade of trees, playing various water sports, full of energy. My favorite is the Acorn Art Camp, where you can sit under the canopy, sip coffee, feel the cool breeze, and watch the clouds roll by—this is the true leisure of summer! Families with kids shouldn’t miss the nearby **Petting Zoo. How to get there? ✈️ Most convenient: Direct flight to Changbai Mountain Airport, then take the free shuttle bus straight to the resort. ✈️🚄 Alternative: Fly to Changchun Longjia Airport, take the high-speed train from Longjia Station inside the airport to Baihe Station, then rent a car or take the Jilin Province scenic area shuttle bus to the resort. 3. Changbai Mountain Huamei Shengdi Tourism Resort: Family fun and exciting nights! * This place feels especially suitable for families with kids! Go-karts, Yoyo Deer Park, Castle Playground, rock climbing... kids can have a blast. * Don’t miss the night! The real highlight starts at dusk: an amazing intangible cultural heritage blacksmithing* and fire pot performance, plus atmospheric bonfire parties and summer night concerts—an immersive experience! ✅ Bonus: No matter which hotel you stay at in the resort, there’s a free shuttle bus available on call, making it super convenient to visit attractions, dine, and shop. For thrill-seekers: There’s also bridge wall via ferrata (rock climbing) and zip-lining over the Songhua River waiting for you! These three major resort areas around Jilin Changbai Mountain—boat camping on the Songhua River, Wanda’s summer cool-off, Huamei Shengdi’s family fun and night tours—each has its own charm. Driving through all of them is refreshing and fulfilling. For summer cooling-off, this is definitely the place to choose! Pack your bags and set off now!
