About Yichun

Yichun is known as Lindu, the forest capital: its towns lie scattered through the Lesser Khingan Range, and it is among the coldest cities in China. At Tangwang River Stone Forest, granite pillars rise from Korean pine forest. Far to the north, at Jiayin on the Amur, the duck-billed Mandschurosaurus, the first dinosaur genus named from China, was dug up, and the Jiayin Dinosaur National Geopark shows more finds.
