Jilin City
Jilin City (), a city that is located in Jilin Province in China, situated in hilly area near the Songhua River. Jilin is a very popular destination for Japanese tourists who come each winter to view the spectacular ice-rimmed trees on display along the banks of the Songhua River. Ice-rimmed trees are a natural phenomena that take place every year during January and February, and occur when warm Songhua River water rise up to meet the cold -20 degrees night air. When this happens ice crystals form on the beautiful pine trees, making for excellent winter scenery. Ice-rimmed trees in Jilin are one of the four natural wonders of China.
