Only after coming to Changchun did I realize that drinking coffee and chatting about gossip

*The Yongxing Morning Market is open from 6:00 to 11:00. I didn't specifically search for must-eats or must-buy items in Changchun this time, but I still found things I haven't seen at other morning markets in Northeast China (or perhaps I hadn't noticed), like cooking wine, various soy sauces, pomegranates, hazelnuts... and even freshly slaughtered "dog meat" (pictured for proof)! Seeing real dog meat for the first time was so… amazing!! Shocking! ‼ ️ Personally, I can't stomach eating dog meat! Eating dog meat is a tradition passed down from our ancestors, and it's rarely eaten by locals these days. After careful research, I discovered that the dog meat currently sold in Northeast China comes from legitimate farms, not stolen or stray dogs. Different cultures have different perceptions, so just treat it with respect! Guilin Road Coffee Street Finding a coffee shop with my travel companion was quite difficult, as we arrived early. Although the show was scheduled to start at 10:00, most shops were still closed. After walking through two or three alleys, we finally found one that was open. We each ordered a cup of coffee and chatted about our trip. We would be returning the next day...

Nanhu Park

A relaxing day trip to Changchun: immerse yourself in the city's tranquility and artistic atmosphere! Nanhu Park is one of the city's best spots for a leisurely stroll and relaxation; Zheyoushan offers a glimpse into the artistic, handcrafted, and design atmosphere. This relaxing day trip is perfect for those seeking a leisurely lifestyle. Itinerary: Nanhu Park ➔ Zheyoushan Nanhu Park (Address: 2715 Gongnong Road, Chaoyang District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, open 24/7) Nanhu Park is conveniently located in the city center, perfect for morning exercise or a leisurely afternoon stroll. The park is vast, with a wide lake, abundant green spaces, and wooded areas, creating a picturesque setting. Strolling along the lakeside, you'll occasionally spot people fishing. Spring and summer are the best seasons, with picnickers and morning exercisers grazing on the grass. In autumn, the lakeside maple leaves are breathtaking, making it a perfect photo opportunity. Bicycle rentals are available within the park, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The park is free of charge, making it a great place to visit in the morning or evening. If you have time, bring a simple snack to experience the relaxed lifestyle of Changchun residents. Zhe You Shan (Address: 959 Hongqi Street, Chaoyang District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, open daily from 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM year-round) We recommend visiting Zhe You Shan at noon or in the afternoon after a morning stroll in Nanhu Park. This is Changchun's cultural and creative hub, housing a cafe, bookstore, handmade craft stalls, and designer stores across several floors. It's a perfect spot for those seeking a stylish photo spot. Every corner is meticulously designed, and the interior lighting creates unique, striking images. The basement offers a gathering space, while the top floor boasts an open-air terrace perfect for reading, chatting with friends, or enjoying a cup of coffee. Zhe You Shan also hosts occasional markets and craft workshops, so you can confidently pick up souvenirs or specialty cookies. If you have time, sit down for a cup of coffee and savor Changchun's uniquely slow pace. Visit Tips: 1. It's recommended to visit on weekdays, as weekends are crowded and background noise can be a problem. 2. Nanhu Park is large, so wearing comfortable shoes is recommended. There are multiple restrooms within the park, so bringing water and a light snack is a plus. 3. There are many unique shops around Zheyoushan, and you can also explore the nearby Hongqi Street food scene. 4. Both locations are about a 15-minute drive apart, easily accessible by taxi or bus. 5. The air in Nanhu Park is freshest in the morning, while Zheyoushan is relatively less crowded in the afternoon, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. In summary, both areas in Changchun are perfect for a slow pace of life and stress relief. I'll definitely visit again if I have the chance! The local pace of life is so comfortable for me. I love listening to the birdsong in Nanhu Park and enjoying the aroma of coffee in Zheyoushan. If you want to experience the leisurely beauty of Changchun, this itinerary will not disappoint you.

20250821 Changchun Stroll Early in the morning—not really early, actually—we went to the Yongxing Morning Market. I ate my first pomegranate, but the terrifying dog meat stalls kept me on edge the whole day. Then we took a bus to Guilin Road to find some coffee. The cafes along the way were still closed, so I wasn't there early enough. Luckily, I turned down a side alley and found Coffee Alley, which opened at 10:00. The coffee was delicious, and the decor was soothing. After coffee, it would have been a shame not to make a pilgrimage to "Zhe You Shan." As soon as we got off the bus, it was packed. The entire mountain was lined with restaurants. I didn't want to squeeze in, so I walked across to take a picture of the 54 tram, but didn't get on it and headed back to the hotel. Changchun truly is a city you don't need to return to!
