For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

THey fabian

he best way to get to Harbin is by train!

You can also get the bus

Jingyuetan park is great - just catch the light rail and it is a 5 minute walk - wear good boots because of the snow! - it is damn cold!
