A private tour helps tourists to find out a place better. This is particular the case for my trip to this town. Very impressive hygiene standard, particularly clean public toilets, honest local people, local traffic management, sceneries' traffic control, and environmental protection are truly processional. I believe the achievement doesn't come in a matter of days, it takes a long time to progress to where they are at today.
The long queue during peak season is a headache for everybody. I don't know how to improve but clearly there's room for it. In this respect north Tianchi is better organised than west.

We visited here after poor weather foiled an attempt to travel to the summit of Changbaishan and this was pretty convenient and a good opportunity for our five-year-old son to see some wildlife.
The park is, sadly, quite run down for the most part, although it offers a (caged walkway) walk around the park or a driven tour. We opted to skip the drive and just take the walk, so let what you read here be coloured by the possibility that the driven tour may be awesome.
The attraction boasts 16 tigers (of which three appear to be cubs at the time of writing). You enter the park to see a run-down building at the centre with some old cages either side of it, however the large open paddock to the left, with the covered walkway running along its edge is far more tempting, so left we go.
It all seems very secure, despite a lot of rust on the heavy chain-link fencing and sooner or later we came to three tigers lazing at the far end of the walkway. The good news is that they looked healthy and well-fed, in far better condition than the park around them, in fairness. We were told by an attendant that we could pay 100 CNY which would by a chicken, which would be strapped to a pulley and sent out to a nearby tree, which the tigers would climb for a meal. We opted to pass, but shortly after the keeper gave them a quick meaty snack, which showed the tigers as being pretty active.
A building behind this houses some cages and in here we could see the three cubs and a few more adults. The cages were fair sized and they could retreat indoors, but I couldn't help but feel that these environs weren't ideal for the tigers.
We then proceeded around a raised, but not covered, walkway, mildly perplexed by what it was supposed to accomplish. The height would certainly be no barrier to a Tiger and there was no sign of anything else.
Our questions were answered when we returned to the central building and on examining the cages saw a pair of fine-smelling wild pigs. The pigs were lazing around when we first passed, but on our second pass they appeared more active and responsive to visitors. It looks like they are able to roam the paddock behind the building, hence the raised walkway, but today they were lounging in their cages.
So, a decent number of tigers in variable standards of enclosure and a pair of hairy pigs. Was it worth it. Yes, the attraction may only be average but it was well priced (we only paid 30 CNY each as we opted not to take the driven tour), other visitors paid 50 CNY. If you are sensitive to animals in captivity, obviously steer clear, but to be fair, I've certainly seen worse enclosures during my travels in China.
As a diversion to Changbaishan on the days when it is closed, well worth a look.

You can do a tour through the University but more interesting is sitting down with one of the University's professors and opening up discussions on a raft of subjects.

The stadium is multi-purpose but mostly used for Football matches. The stadium is the home of Yanbian Funde F.C which play in the Chinese Super League. The stadium was built at a cost of 220 million RMB and was opened at the end of 2013 with a capacity of 30,000. The stadium has a capacity of 30,000 and replaces the original stadium on the other side of the city that was built into the hillside. The stadium has a neat ambience during Yanbian F.C game days. Right next door to the new Stadium is the Museum of Yanbian Autonomous Prefecture of Korean Ethnic Minority which is well worth a visit.
