  • Yanji City Attractions

    Yanji is the capital of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture and a nationally recognized 5A-level cultural tourism city, located on the eastern foothills of the Changbai Mountains along the Burhatong River.

    • Dinosaur fossil geology & science tourism
    • Urban forest ecological landscapes
    • Border lifestyle & street culture tourism
    • Night economy & social media check-in landmarks
    • Anti-Japanese War (Anti-Union Army) red history tourism
