Enticing Jingyuetan National Forest Park exudes special charms in various seasons.

An unexpected bonus to the forest came in the form of a skiing industry. The industry has been fully developed with skiing becoming another bridge that connects Changchun with the world.

Each year, large groups of skiing fans and professional athletes from around the world come for the China Changchun Vasaloppet International Skiing Festival.

As a state-level AAAAA tourist resort, the Clean Moon Lake forest park boasts perfect infrastructure like roads, water supply and drainage, street lamps and mobile toilets, completed ski resorts, roller skating bases, forest baths, golf courses, towers and a wildlife park. It is an excellent choice for Changchun residents and visitors from elsewhere to go for an outing in spring.

“This is a place of friendship and happiness, and a place that leads in health and fashion,” said Yang Wenjun.

Indeed, the Clean Moon Lake is more than a natural geological landscape. The awe and love it receives from the Changchun people is as affectionate and warm as that towards a goddess. She is the symbol and sign of Changchun city, and the spiritual source of the people living here as well.
