For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community.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 The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date.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

Connect with folks, contribute to the community
A little something about yourself - hobbies, interests, favorites, goals, etc

Interest webpage link you would like to share (not your QQ page)

Finally...we get way too many spam accounts trying to apply. Can you say something about Changchun to show you are legitimate (sorry, but we have to ask)
The most distinct fact of Changchun would be that it was the capital of the Manchukuo puppet state in the Japanese Empire. Along Remmin Street you can still see many buildings from that period.
