Changchun Jingyuetan National Forest Park
Changchun Jingyuetan National Forest Park is in the southeastern part of the city of Changchun, Jilin province, just 18 kilometers from the downtown area, so it is a "rare pure metropolitan land". The green leaves in the park are so thick that they form an umbrella and the water is so clear and the forest so large, the biggest of its kind in Asia, covering a 100-square–kilometer area, while the water covers 430 hectares. The park has an ecological system with more than 30 kinds of trees and is an ideal summer retreat.
Forest Bathing Place
This scenic spot in the park, which opened in 1999 is known as a "natural oxygen bar" and has been visited by many tourists from China and abroad. When Party Secretary Jiang Zemin paid a visit to Northeast China in August 2000, he made a special trip to the Forest Bathing Place and took a stroll through the forest. This is the key scenic spot in the park and has a tourist center. Thanks to its abundance of oxygen, it is ideal for exercise and good for your overall health.
Deer Park
This is also one of the main scenic spots in the park where there are more than 500 members of the deer family, such as the Changbaishan sika deer, Tienshan wapiti, Greater Khingan reindeer, and elk, as well as some African ostriches in the garden. It also holds the Ginseng Garden, the Herbal Treasure Garden, and Pear Blossom Garden.
Siberian Tiger Safari Park
The main gate of this part of the Forest Park is just across a road from the Changchun Film Century City. It is Changchun's first safari park, where the animals roam freely. It has 2,200 square meters of cages and shelters for animals and 67,000 square meters of ground for them to play in.
The park consists of six areas: a Science Popularization Area, Rescue and Breeding Area, Interactive Area, Vehicle Free Animal Area, Pedestrian Free Animal Area, and Bird Song Forest, with more than 60 types of rare animals such as the Siberian tiger, African lion, sika deer and red-crowned cranes, numbering around 2,000 in all. The Siberian Tiger Safari Park has a number of animal performances and an "Animal Parade", where tourists and animals can have fun together. That park is also responsible for saving wild animals and breeding endangered species.
Jingyue Wetland
This sits between Xiliu Bridge and Heyan Bridge on a 1-sq-km area, mainly consisting of a wetland, spillway dam, green garden, and ship-building berth. It holds white birches, spruces, maple and ash trees, reeds, sweet flags and lotuses, and 60,000 bushes, as well as 30,000-sq-m of reeds, 20,000-sq-m of purple lythrums, and 100,000-sq-m of perennials.
