The 2021 Jilin Culture and Tourism Week was officially kicked off on November 29 at the Changying Concert Hall. During the last five days, international friends have learned about the economic characteristics of China's Jilin Province, which has the automobile industry as its pillar, through visits to local companies such as the FAW Hongqi Exhibition Hall and Tontine Wines. They also learned about the historical and cultural characteristics of Jilin Province by visiting the Jilin Provincial Museum, the Changying Old Site Museum, the Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition, an ethnic Korean-style restaurant and, the Jinjiang Cabin Village. At the Changbai Mountains Ski Resort and the volcanic hot springs, they experienced the rich natural landscape of Jilin, and by participating in various activities, the international friends learned to knit ropes, make figurines, and make foodstuffs such as noodles, jianbing pancakes, bibimbap, glutinous rice cakes, kimchi, and so on. The international friends also watched a symphony concert. Finally, they experienced the powder snow of the Changbai Mountains and soaked in hot springs in the snow for a truly magical "powder snow encounter". After participating in this event, the international friends truly fell in love with Jilin and shared the beauty of Jilin with even more friends.

Although Ms. Kim Mi-Young from South Korea has lived in Changchun, Jilin Province for more than 7 years and visited many places, this is the first time she has visited the Changbai Mountains. She said excitedly, "The feeling of soaking in the hot spring in the snow is so amazing. I have to bring my friends here the next time." Anna from Russia said in an interview at the ski resort that, "I've been skiing in Sochi before. The snow here in Jilin is amazing, the environment and service are both great." Hansen from Bangladesh, who has previously been working in the south of China, also thought that Jilin is a sight to see: "We usually travel by ourselves and there are some places we won't be able to go. So, it's a rare opportunity for us to get to visit the FAW Hongqi Exhibition Hall and the Tontine winery! When I go back, I'll write some travel notes and post them to my social platform with photos from these activities for my friends to see."
