Not in Korea!!!

Blood-and-tear summary from my third trip to Yanji❗️ This Sino-Korean border town is truly delicious and fun - save this special forces-style guide! 📸 Must-visit spots: 1️⃣ Yanbian University's viral photo wall Perfect for photos day or night! Best at dusk to capture both lighting effects. Opposite is a Korean supermarket for snacks~ 2️⃣ Folk Village Korean-style photoshoot No trip to Yanji is complete without traditional Korean photos! Costume rental + makeup costs 100-300 yuan, remember to book photographer in advance 3️⃣ Mao'er Mountain National Forest Park Just 30 mins hike to summit for panoramic Yanji views - stunning at sunrise/sunset! 🍛 Food recommendations: ✅【Quanzhou Mixed Rice】~50 yuan/person Must-try: Stone pot bibimbap, grilled pork bibimbap 📍 Fazhan Street, Hengrun First City storefront ✅【Shunji Cold Noodles】~35 yuan/person Signature: Freshly pressed cold noodles + sweet & sour pork combo! 📍 Opposite Yanbian University main gate on Park Road ✅【Fengmao BBQ Skewers】~80 yuan/person Korean-style auto-rotating skewers - lamb skewers are amazing 📍 Multiple branches, choose nearest one ❌ Not recommended: Water Market morning market Overcrowded with poor experience - same foods cheaper at West Market 🚗 Transportation tips: ▪️ Taxis start at 5 yuan - easy to hail ▪️ Recommend chartered cars for Tumen/Hunchun trips (200-300 yuan/day) ▪️ ~50 yuan taxi from airport to downtown 🏡 Accommodation suggestions: ▪️ Best near Yanbian University - convenient for food & photos ▪️ Off-season hotels from 200+ yuan are decent 📌 Practical notes: 1️⃣ Summer: sunscreen! Winter: warm clothes! Huge temperature swings 2️⃣ Bargain when buying specialties at West Market 3️⃣ Many shops close in afternoon - check business hours
