Changchun accommodation from AU$71

Changchun is a young city compared to others in China, but it has established a vibrant and bustling township. The city is home to the Changchun Film Studio, and is the centre of the country's film industry. Visit during the Changchun Film Festival, and see some of China's best independent films on display.

Nature lovers flock to Nanhu Park, which is one of the best places in the area to enjoy the real natural beauty of China. The lake is perfect for boating, sailing and relaxing by the water, and makes for an awesome day out. During winter the lake freezes over and is fantastic for skiing, or you can head to the nearby man-made Jingyuetan National Forest Park and their great ski slopes.

Stop in at the Puppet Imperial Palace, which was home to the last Emperor of China, and the puppet emperor of Manchukuo. The palace was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, but has been fully restored to its original glory. Wenhua Square is a great spot to hang out and watch the locals fly kites, while you enjoy the sunshine and have a great picnic in the city centre.

The best shopping is in the area around the People's Square. This square also houses a memorial to the Russian soldiers who lost their lives helping to liberate Changchun. Pick up some great souvenirs, and have a delicious lunch in one of the great cafes nearby. The growing Korean population in the city is bringing many fusion-themed restaurants, and provides a delicious alternative to traditional Chinese fare.
