For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Educare is offering a brand new way to learn Chinese in an enjoyable series of classes. Our first trip is trip to Harbin.
We will go to the annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival .The Memorial Museum – 731 - which acts as a reminder to the world about the atrocities committed in what was Manchuria during the period leading up to and throughout the WWII era. Alternatively you could choose to visit the Tiger Zoo which contains more than 200 tigers. Our hotel will be set in the historical Modern Street or Russian Street as it is sometimes known.
The classes will teach practical Chinese from the moment we meet at the railway station. You will actually learn Chinese whilst shopping, visiting the sites or ordering dinner, lunch and breakfast.
Fee:
750RMB/850rmb (Tiger zoo) cover all the tickets fee (hotel, breakfast,), excluding dinner and lunch.
If you like to join us WITHOUT Chinese instruction, then the price will be 600RMB.If you want to choose Tiger Zoo on the second day, the price will be 700RMB!!

Now, the Visit to Harbin Ice Festival that so many people have been expecting will set off on next weekend (18th) finally. We will meet at train station then spend two days weekend in Harbin and return on 20th. (The exact meeting time and location will be sent to participant’s phone)
As we know this kind of activity is so exciting for those people who love travelling and making friends, when they come to china for first time, the most important thing is to know about china and making friends as soon as possible, cause as the saying goes, a man depends upon his parents at home and upon his friends abroad. And it’s really true!
The participants of this trip come from different countries: Span, Indonesia, Philippine, US British, Nepal etc, and some of them are family travelling with their lovely children. The cold winter cannot stop our steps, Ice and snow world and Russian feast seems more attractive. Maybe the 18 persons have losing patience now. Hope everything goes well and the trip will be fun. We will do our best, Cheers!
