For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Spring Competition - prizes to be won!

As with our winter competition, when we ask for the first day of snow, this is to ask for the first day that the temperature hits 20degrees Celsius.

Sharon and Richard won it last year and the actual day was the 22nd of April


The question you have to answer is:

When will the day time temperature record 20 degrees Celsius or more for the first time this year? The weather station that will be used is Accuweather.

People who bet 10 days before the actual record will not be counted.

The winner to get a bottle of red wine from Sam's and if there is more than one winner, then it is alternative drinks to the value of the wine split between

For those of a non alcoholic persuasion a prize of similar value will be offered.

Get your guess in now!

Visual proof? It is not so difficult! I elect to establish the viewing of the first mini-skirt as the official beginning of the spring season. Post your pics* here.

visual proof can be difficult. Only one you can get is the termometer but even here temperature can vary it depends if it is in the sun light, shadow or how high above the ground. Right now I could take one put it outside and get temperature over 20 in the sunlight. Accuweather will give you an average and for everybody will be the same. Visual proof can be a screenshot accuweather with temp over 20

Richard, I believe the Accuweather temperature is recorded at the airport. In town here, the temp may be higher or lower. I think we may need some kind of visual proof.
