For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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.

If it wasn't for wellington, I would have reached an impresive score of 0! Merci messieurs les anglais!

In fact, 1 million seems to be a mistake and there is 'only' 85 000 miniatures, the largest collection in the world.

1 million, I thought 5000 looked impressive!

Comment by Sebastien Bossard on January 3, 2012 at 7:42

Oh my, very impressive!

The Great Battles of History, in Miniature

At a museum in Valencia, Spain, over one million toy soldiers stand at attention, prepared to reenact the wars that shaped the world
