For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

Its time i got this temple in shape, so anyone on the mission let me know, want to join a gym (preferably in my area, around south lake). Also fancy buying a bike to "bomb it" around south lake...how much are bikes (not a fancy one), and where to buy one? Thanks in advance!

Richard, as for buying a bike, there's a street in town which has several bike shops. I'd try that area first. will text you the location later, need to check the map.

Im in for the gym :)

Count me out!

Good bike shop on Tongguang Lu and Lixin Jie

thanks john!

I think murin that the gym in the kfc building is the place i will go. its 800 a year there and i know the owner. mark and garrett have also expressed an interest.

I think the street with bikes is Da Ma Lu

and ou ya mai chang shopping mall

Have you got a bike? Damalu is not a place of much decent bikes.

For decent manufacturing bikes there are three main choices in Changchun: Giant(6 stores), Merida(4 stores) and Trek(1 store).  For parts like wheels, frames, forks, chains and pedals..., there are 4 main stores in the Chun. I will recommend you a reasonable store after you let me know a bike of what kind or level you want. 

imo kungfu(not taiji) is much better than gym and cycling, u get all in one:

muscles

body coordination

stamina

bye bye belly

stretching

ur learning something badass

you don't need to buy/pay anything

more dedicated people more fun, you can join me anytime


Where, When, What time I am interested and how much?

Maybe you want to come to the one in the Wanda Plaza named D-house not far away from South lake. Cool place to take part in and the price is a bargain i think. I've been working out here for about two months. As to the bike, if you are looking for a good one like Giant, you can check out the Giant shop around the South lake Square not far away from u. if not, there's a Decathlon sport supermarket and the east end of the Nanhu Road. 

There are also a spesilized bikes shop opp the shangri la hotel, next to Starbucks
