Changchun Travel Guide

Changchun started as a minor trading town. In 1800, Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty selected a small village on the east bank of the Yitong River and named it "Changchun Ting." In 1889, it was promoted as "Changchun Fu". Modern Changchun, located in the northeast of the People's Republic of China, in the centre of the Songliao Plain, is now the capital and largest city of Jilin province. The name, which means "Long Spring", originated from the Jurchen language. Changchun’s residents include the Han, Manchu, Korean, Hui, Mongolian and Xibe 38 peoples.
