For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

-Does anybody know which parks in Changchun allow BBQ? I can bring/buy the stuff but I imagine most parks have laws or at least a BBQ area/season.

-The main one is Nan-hu park, but I'd also be intersted in Jing-yue park as well. If I can't find a place I may have to cook my meat in a dark alley.

Nic - Jinyue is very strict about fires etc

If we could find a good place for outdoor BBQ's that would be wonderful!

to be honest, there is no park allow peeple to do BBQ. i m sure jingyuetan. nanhu, shengli park they dont allowed it at all. so the good opention for you you can find a place there is no house or trees around it .. or just cook in your friends hourse

hope you can find a good place to BBQ...  I would like to join your guys if i m in changchun 

I used to cook at the bank of Yitong River,the view is fanscinating. I also camped there, but this season is too cold to camp.

Could you give me some more information? Did you get hassled by people or police? Did they have signs saying no cooking? Where along the river were you? North or south of the rail line?

No one hassled us,no signs saying no cooking.we were too tired to find a place, so we just camped near the rail line. You can choose a place, both banks are fine. You can walk along the river to find a place, there are some parks, I am sorry I could identify the directions .br />

I am sure nobody will disturb you. I am glad to join you.

Things can be pretty funky along the river, I remember biking along the river during the summer a few years ago and passing a few shanty towns.  The locals were lounging, cooking and hanging out.  Some places along the river are not really a river, but maybe a muddy tidal flat.  Your mileage may vary. 

I'm giving this a try on wednesday. I'll post how it goes.

BBQ area....nick if you go in the green and wood fronted cafe almost opposite grandmas, you will find the owners wife, a Japanese lady (or Korean...can't remember) they have a place out near jingyue tan that allows fires and camping.

Not going anywhere wednesday. Too much water, and mud, along the river.

Weather is beautiful. Will give it a shot.

Well I did it wednesday. Got rained out early. But otherwise a great spot. I added a picture as well. That's Brandon in the picture.

Well, a while ago we spend time near the HongQiJie park, called ChaoYang Park. There was a secluded area with shelter where we would enjoy a beer. Don't think we ever bbq'ed there but it could be fun. Summer is here! (Rain tomorrow) :(
