Tourist Attractions:
Jilin City is a popular destination for tourists to come each winter to view the magnificent rime ice on trees along the banks of the Songhua River, (the river is the only river in the region that doesn't freeze in winter). The rime ice is a natural phenomenon that occurs every year during January and February. It is a result of when water vapor rises up from the warm Songhua River to meet the cold -20 °C night air, causing the crystallisation of water vapour on willows branches. The ice-rimed trees in Jilin are one of the four natural wonders of China, along with the Guilin Mountains and Streams, Yunnan Stone Forest, and Three Gorges on the Yangtze River.
There are more places to visiMeteorite Museum (largest stony meteorite of a documented meteorite fall), North Hill Park (North-West of Jilin), Dragon Pool Mountain Park, Songhua Lake (South-East of Jilin).
