Jilin

Located in Jilin Province of Northeast China in a region once       known as Manchuria. The city of Jilin is situated on the banks of the Song Hau River which provides       food, recreation, transportation and hydro-electric power for the citizens.

Due to its location in Northeast China, near the Korean border, Jilin City has       been influenced by many cultures.

The people are predominantly Chinese but during this       century the region has been under the control of Russia and Japan as well as China, I think of it as the baby with joint custody *roflol*.

Jilin City also has a large ethnic Korean population which celebrates an annual Korean festival.  Activities in modern Jilin City focus on the river where boating and fishing are popular.       

In winter the people of Jilin City participate in Ice skating and other winter sports.
