Another attraction of Jilin is skiing. Known as ‘a ski paradise', the province has a total of 70 ski resorts. Skiing has become one of the most popular outdoor activities for local people and tourists.

"This is my first time skiing. I am very happy here. There is such snow here. It is incredible."

After skiing, you can have a try to ride on a snow slide. It's a joy for not only kids but also a lot of adults.

However, the best place in the country to enjoy the scene of snow is the Changbai Mountain in the most eastern part of the province. Six hours drive from Changchun, the provincial capital, the Mountain is completely covered with snow in winter.

The scenic area is open to tourists for the entire winter season. The Tianchi Lake is a place that visitors shouldn't miss. At 2,200 meters, Tianchi Lake, or the Heavenly Lake, is the highest volcanic lake in China. Standing on the frozen ice of the lake and looking up, the lake is encircled by snow capped mountain peaks. It is an amazing scene that tourists relish.

Other tourist attractions there include an underground forest, and forests of silvery trees with their branches wrapped with frozen frost.

"We came from Guangzhou. This place is very different from where we are from. It's like a fairy land to us."

"The place is so special. I don't understand why both an ice spring and a hot spring can be in the same place right next to each other."
Meng Fanying is in charge of tourism management of the Changbai Mountain scenic area.

"There are bus routes to each scenic spot. Tourists can also drive their own cars here. And it is only half the price of that in summer."

The biggest outdoor natural ski park in Asia, Xipo International Ski Park opened to tourists last year and has become one of the most popular attractions in this area.

"Skiing is a lot of fun and in the meantime you can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of the mountain. It is a combination of sports and sightseeing."

So, why not come and have fun and relax in the icy world of northeast China at the end of your busy work of the year.
