What it the best tourist spot in Jilin and can we go there by train? If so, how long is the travel by train from shanghai? Thanks
Dear Sir or Madam, Jilin city is not a famous tourist city like Beiing, Xian or Shanghai. There is few of clients traveling there. Here are some attractions for reference. 1. Longtan Hill park (龙潭山公园） 2. Beida Lake ski resort(北大湖滑雪场） 3. Changbai Mountain （长白山） There are two trains from Shanghai to Jilin every day. It takes about 34-37 hours and costs about CNY750/US$121 for the soft sleeper. 4. Jingyuetan scenic area (净月潭旅游区） Lussie Lu Replied on 2013-01-28
