Jilin

The territory stretches from the western plains through rolling hills to the eastern Changbai Mountains, with elevation changes creating distinct geographical zones.

During the Qing Dynasty, the region was governed by the General of Jilin until 1860, when parts of the territory were transferred to Russia.

The province maintains a mixed heritage through traditional Jiju opera performances that incorporate influences from Chinese, Korean, and Manchu ethnic communities.

Temperatures range from -18 degrees Celsius in January to 23 degrees Celsius in July, with most precipitation occurring between May and September.

The Changbai Mountains contain Mount Baitou, which features a crater lake at its summit and holds the highest elevation in northeastern China.
