Changchun, the largest city and capital of Jilin province is called the “City of Automobiles”, by locals. Though it is the most urbanized area in northeast China, being the largest hub for transportation, education, science, and industry, there are districts like Jiutai and Shuangyan that remain rural. Its massive Puppet Manchurian Palace Museum is a copy of China’s last emperor’s former residence.
The area was once a Japanese Manchukuo puppet state from 1932 to 1945. It was then renamed Xinjing or the “new capital”. When the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, it was established as Changchun (meaning “long spring”) in 1954, as the capital of Jilin province. Even with its industrial revolution, the city retained high standards for its green spaces, earning them the award of one of the top 4 National Garden Cities in 2001. The World Sculpture Park is popular for its outdoor sculptures, while the Jingyuetan National Key Scenic Area is well visited for its lake and outdoor sports activities.
