Yanji is a city with a lively atmosphere, this city has a lot of delicious food, and it is also a city with a "relaxation".

Yanji People's Park, along the Yanji River, locals dance in small groups to Korean songs. They are becoming less and less interested in popular attractions. They want to stay away from the city and go to a small place for a "reverse vacation" and find a place to lie down for a few days.

You can find these relaxing travel methods in Yanji.

It truly deserves to be the gourmet capital of Northeast China.

Yanji is recognized as the capital of Northeastern cuisine. Northeastern customs, Korean national characteristics, and Japanese and Korean fashionable imported products are all blended and presented here.

There are so many choices that you won’t be eating the same thing for a week.

When arriving in this gourmet capital, many people will eat cold noodles as their first stop.

Shunji Cold Noodles, the ice cubes in the noodle soup are the essence of Yanji Cold Noodles. Take a bite of ice and your scalp will be numb, and you will instantly feel refreshed. This is the birthplace of authentic cold noodles. The taste is very outstanding. The noodles are freshly pressed buckwheat noodles.

Paired with beef, eggs, watermelon and various vegetables, it is sour, sweet and refreshing.

The portion of cold noodles is so large that one person can hardly finish it.

Thin and tough noodles, you can cut them with scissors while eating.

When locals eat cold noodles, they also pair it with freshly cooked pot-wrapped pork.

Soak the pot-roasted meat in the cold noodle soup while it's hot. It's cold on the outside, hot on the inside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Guobaorou and cold noodles are a golden pairing.

Yanji people also often eat a dish called "Spicy Stir-fried Sea Rabbit". This is the first time I have eaten it.

At first taste, it tasted a bit like squid, and I mistakenly thought that "aplysia" was the northeastern name for "little squid".

Spicy stir-fried sea rabbit will whet your appetite.

But in fact, Aplysia is a type of shellfish that lives in shallow seas, also known as sea slugs.

Although it is a kind of shellfish, it belongs to the mollusk family. Its shell has degraded and its head has two tentacles that look like a rabbit. It looks quite unique.

Most of the local dishes are spicy. The hot and soft chicken feet, the steaming army pot, and the crispy and chewy spicy fried sea mushrooms (actually octopus suckers) will make you sweat.

At this time, taking a sip of cold and fragrant Yanbian rice wine is really comforting.

Cabin Tavern.

Spicy stir-fried sea mushrooms are a local specialty.

And for those who are not good at eating spicy food, Yanji will not easily dissuade them.

Go to a Northeastern restaurant and order an ordinary-looking chicken stewed with mushrooms, but the taste is extraordinary.

The mushrooms are mushrooms that have absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, the chicken is a local big rooster that has absorbed the rich aroma of mushrooms, and the soup fully extracts the essence of chicken and mushrooms.

Lin Hai Xueyuan stews in an iron pot. Common local ingredients are stewed in one pot. Lift the lid of the pot and it will be steaming.

Stewing is the most common cooking method in the Northeast. It is heated while eating, which makes people feel confused. Paired with the unique big white pear drink here, you will be confused after a while.

But the boss here is also sincere. When ordering, he will hold you down and say: That's enough, let's finish this dish first.

"The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals." If you want to experience the most unique life in Yanji, how can you not visit the vegetable market?

The breakfast stalls were crowded and I walked around a few times not knowing what to eat. There were so many choices.

The Oriental Floating Market on the banks of the Yanji River is not large, but it has everything you need. The morning market is from 5 to 8 am every morning. If you want to experience it, don't stay in bed and be late.

If you are a kimchi lover, this must be your "soul kitchen".

The locals also start their energetic day here.

The Yanji River flows slowly, and most of the people in the vegetable market nearby are in a hurry, queuing up for breakfast, wandering around in this kimchi paradise, and carefully selecting those unnamed mountain delicacies.

The largest "performance" in the floating market attracts people to stop, and the two masters seem to have endless energy.

Korean chefs will make traditional snacks called cakes on site.

They will repeatedly beat the steamed glutinous rice with a wooden mallet, then cut it into small portions, dip it in soybean noodles, white sugar or red bean filling to make a chewy snack.

Authentic Korean style.

Yanbian is the only Korean autonomous prefecture in China, where 43% of the country's Koreans live.

The locals can skillfully switch between Korean and Chinese seamlessly. One second it was a Korean idol drama, and the next second it was the taste of Northeastern old iron, which was a bit cute.

Even the street signs are bilingual.

If you land at Chaoyangchuan International Airport, you may have the illusion that you are abroad.

Yanji Chaoyangchuan International Airport has Korean, English and Japanese on the same screen, which makes it feel like traveling far away.

Entering the Centennial Tribe Scenic Area, you can experience the life of the Korean people immersively.

The locals dance the Elephant Hat Dance, swinging the elephant hat ribbons like the wind, which is amazing.

The place is full of bungalows and courtyards with blue bricks and white walls, simple yet elegant.

The owner of the oldest house is Piao Rugen, a businessman who immigrated from North Korea. He used Changbai Mountain logs and tiles without a single nail, and it took three years to complete the construction.

It has been 142 years of history despite ups and downs.
