For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

South Lake Hotel Park

Changchun has so many beautiful parks and I get to see a fair amount of them with my son Thomas.

So I thought we should make a list of parks that we enjoy.

I'll kick it off with South Lake Hotel park which is like a hidden gem for foreigners. It has secret pagodas, and a network of very secluded paths. You don't see many people and it's a great place to find peace and tranquility. I once met a big stag there - just came out from some trees and stared at me before disappearing once more into the forest.

There are 2 hotels there that I have been in and a small foreign food shop, there is also an outdoor swimming pool but it's rather expensive. The German hotel as I call it  - is very welcoming.

I eat there occasionally - breakfast - European style but usually I go there to enjoy the park and take photos. Here are a few. There are so many hidden gems in this place and as long as you treat the place as a treasure we foreigners will be allowed access.
