Jingyuetan National Scenic Area (in Winter), Changchun, Jilin Province, PRC

The Jinghuetan National Scenic Area is a high-rank National Level attraction, similar in rank to Huangshan. This walking track only covers a small part near the entrance, including the dam. This walking track was recorded in late December 2018, on a sunny day with approx minus 25 degree centigrade temperatures. Like most accessible scenic locations in China, there was an admission fee.

There is also a ski area on the south side of the reservoir (not on this track) with an annual international (nordic?) skiing festival. In accordance with the skiing theme, new residentail developments close to the Park entrance are named "Whistler Village" and "Banff". In summer the road around the reservoir is said to be a popular drive for Changchun residents, and boat tours run from the north end of dam.

The Jingyue dam and reservoir was built during the 1930's Manchuko Regime of NE China, when the Manchuria capital was at Weihuanggong ("Fake Emperor Palace"), Changchun City.

It's easiest to view the route using the "Open Street" or "Open Cycle" Maps available in Wikiloc. The default Google Map doesn't work in China or is not properly geo-referenced (apparently an unresolved issue between Google and China). There is also a Jilin Province free Wikiloc map download, which facilitates navigation and the recording of new Wikilocs in the Province.
