Located 12 kilometers (7.46 miles) southeast of central Changchun, Jilin Province, Jingyuetan National Forest Park is regarded as "a pure land in a big city." It features a forest, water and mountains, and its natural beauty and fresh air attract a large number of tourists each year. It is called a "natural oxygen bar."
Jingyuetan, or Pure Moon Lake, is named after its crescent-shaped lake. Covering an area of 430 hectares, the lake is 7 kilometers (4.35 miles) in length and 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) in width. The water is crystal clear, and the small fish swimming in the lake can be seen clearly from the water’s bank.
The park also features the largest artificial forest in Asia, with an area of 100 square kilometers (10,000 hectares). A complete ecosystem has formed, which contains 30 types of trees.
The park is an ideal place to go hiking in spring and ski in winter.
