Jilin City, Prefecture-level city in Jilin Province, China.
Jilin City extends along the banks of the Songhua River at an elevation of 202 meters, encompassing four urban districts and five counties.
The area developed from a military garrison during the Ming Dynasty into a fort city in 1673 under the Qing Dynasty to maintain control over Manchuria.
The city maintains strong connections to Manchu heritage through traditional performances, including the regional Jilin Opera and seasonal festivals throughout the year.
Transportation networks connect Jilin City to major centers through the Jilin Railway Station, while special buses run every 40 minutes to Songhua Lake.
The winter months create a natural phenomenon where unfrozen sections of the Songhua River produce frost flowers that form on surrounding trees.
