Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, is situated at the heart of Song Liao Plain in northeastern China. It is plain and broad, and it will be the crisscross point of the third east-westward 'Europe-Asia Continental Bridge'.

Changchun is located in a mild temperate zone and has four clear-cut seasons with favorable temperatures. The city is known as the 'Forest City' and also the 'Spring City in Northern China', and is comfortable for travelers to visit this city at any time of the year. Changchun is also a good travel destination, especially in winter when Changchun's beauty is even more spectacular with fresh fallen snow.

With the rapid development of tourism, there has been a corresponding growth in the need for hotel accommodations. Currently there are more than thirty star-rated hotels in Changchun, including three hotels with five-star ratings. Most of the time travelers can easily find a hotel to meet their needs. However, during the golden holidays, May Day (May 01 to May 07) and Chinese National Day (Oct 01 to Oct 07), it is highly recommended that visitors avoid traveling to this area unless hotel reservations have been made well in advance.
