If you come to Yanji in winter, you will regret not taking a hot spring bath! !

‼️‼️1. Internet-famous wall
I don't recommend coming here to check in during the day! Without the lights, it just looks like an ordinary wall during the day. I passed by during the day and was so disappointed!! Try to wait until the blue hour around 6:30 PM. When all the bilingual neon lights turn on, the Korean drama vibe is fully on point. If you want fewer crowds, you can come a bit later, but don't go past 10:00 PM, as I noticed some signs turn off.
🔵 Travel tips: Listen to me and come at 6:30 PM. It looks so much better than photos taken after dark.
‼️‼️2. Folk Custom Park
Don't just pick any place at the entrance. I didn't know any better back then and almost just picked one at random, but luckily my best friend said she had already picked one out and told me that the ones you find randomly on the side of the road aren't reliable!
🔵 Travel tips: I recommend coming at 9:00 AM. The light is soft and great for photos, so you won't have to squint in the bright sun.
‼️‼️3. Development Slope
This is truly a spot in Yanji with such a strong Korean drama vibe! Don't be silly and come at noon. My friend and I didn't know, so we came right at noon under the scorching sun. The sunlight was so bright we couldn't even open our eyes, and all our photos ended up with us squinting and frowning! Also, don't stand in the middle of the road to take photos. Standing on the side of the road works just as well, and any shot you take will have that "Reply 1988" feel!
🔵 Travel tips: My friend and I came up here to rest after taking photos of the slope exterior. Don't just leave after you're done! There's also the Yanji sign wall, the rainbow stairs, and the big Yanji rock inside that are great for photos.
‼️‼️4. Piyan Mountain Hot Spring Ancient Village
We went on the afternoon of the third day and happened to catch the start of the bubble show. The foam piled up so high that we dove right in, smeared foam on each other's heads, and took a bunch of cute photos. Then a water fight started, and we played with a bunch of kids—it was so much fun!

About Yanji food
Baipule Walnut Charcoal Skewers
Trust me! If locals are flocking there, you're in the right place! The grilled squid on the iron plate is huge, slightly charred on the outside, and coated in Yanbian sweet and spicy sauce. It's firm, chewy, and has a bit of a crisp, tender texture.
Zhengtan Fried Chicken
A must-have food to pack and take away before leaving Yanji! I never get tired of the snowflake cheese fried chicken. It's loaded with snowflake cheese and has a light, salty, milky flavor.
Dapu Family BBQ
Finally, I know why this BBQ place always has a line! It's firm and chewy.
Jingshan Octopus City
Yanji really lives up to the hype! I actually got to eat the same food as in Korea! The live octopus seafood hot pot is incredibly fresh, and the clear broth highlights the natural sweetness of the seafood.
Xiaojin Girl Yanbian Cuisine
Yanji has refreshed my understanding of food!! The Yanbian cold noodles have a broth with ice crystals that is refreshing and sweet, with a hint of fruity aroma. The chewy, smooth buckwheat noodles are cool and delicious.

Piyan Mountain Hot Spring Hotel: Woke up early to experience the morning in the mountains. The large floor-to-ceiling windows are unobstructed, and you can see the rolling mountains and forests while lying in bed.
