For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

North East Normal University Park

A beautiful little park situated within the university campus.

It has a lake and few bridges, and a couple of beautiful pagodas.

And lots of beautiful and friendly students.

This is a great place to relax as it has a small forest area with several stone picnic table and seats.


It has a soft drinks and snacks bar at the side, and if you want more the large university canteens are within a stone's throw.

The canteens have cheap, good and very good areas to eat. SO far I've tried the canteen on the second floor which was Chinese, wholesome and very reasonable. I've also tried the restaurant on the second floor where you can get a really good Chinese meal. It great thing about eating at a university, college or school, is the food is so safe and cooked with great and fresh ingredients and eating safely is always a big concern for me.

There is also a very good supermarket in basement below the canteens. Food, drinks, stationary, sports equipment, electrical, phones, memory sticks and other computer stuff, guitars, clothes, toys and so much more, and at really good prices. I shop here often.
