Introduction

2024-09-23---2024-09-24

Staying in the dorm every day felt boring. The weather wasn’t too cold, and I’m probably going to Beijing in October, so I didn’t have much time left in the Northeast. While I was still here, I decided to explore a bit.

1. The Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace Museum

Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace

I drove from the school to Changchun and first visited the Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace. I didn’t really get it, and I wasn’t too interested, so I just walked around and left.

2. Nanhu Park

I went to Nanhu Park in the evening. There were quite a few locals, but some paths didn’t have streetlights at night, which was a bit scary.

3. Jingyue Pool

I walked around the lake, about 18 km. My feet got blisters by the time I got back to Harbin. Jingyue Pool is beautiful, but it felt a lot like Dongqian Lake in Ningbo.

I got tired and took a selfie by the road.

I met a couple on the way, and I thought they were really romantic. 👍

4. Return Trip

I originally planned to stay another night in Changchun and visit Songshan Lake in Jilin the next day, but I was too tired and just went back to school.
