Nestled in the south-central part of Jilin Province, the prosperous and picturesque Liaoyuan sits at the transitional zone between the branch ranges of the Changbai Mountains and the Songnen Plain, hailed as a bright pearl along the East Liao River. Liaoyuan boasts a time-honored history. In the Qing Dynasty, the area was designated as the imperial "Shengjing Imperial Hunting Ground", and Emperor Kangxi personally decreed it the "Royal Deer Garden". The hunting ban was lifted in 1902, after which a county was established, and Liaoyuan was upgraded to a prefecture-level city in 1983.

Kuixing Tower stands as Liaoyuan’s most iconic landmark. Located within Fushou Palace on the southern foothills of Longshou Mountain beside the East Liao River in Liaoyuan, Jilin Province, it was originally built during the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty but destroyed in wars. Reconstructed in 2002, this pagoda-style building ranks first among all ancient and modern tower architectures and tops all similar structures across Asia, earning it the title "No.1 Taoist Pagoda Under Heaven".

The nine-story tower follows the auspicious number representing the supreme yang of heaven and earth. It stands 69 meters tall, with a base diameter of 40 meters and a main body diameter of 24 meters. Its overall design complies with core Taoist cosmic principles: Taiji (the Great Ultimate), Liangyi (Yin and Yang), Sancai (Heaven, Earth, Humanity), Sixiang (Four Symbols), Wuxing (Five Elements), Liuhe (Six Directions), Qixing (Seven Stars), Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and Jiugong (Nine Palaces), aligning with the natural numerical laws governing heaven, earth and all directions.

Inside the tower enshrine numerous Taoist statues, including Lord Laozi, the Jade Emperor, Kuixing God, God of Wealth and Guanyin (Cihang). The architecture adopts Liao-dynasty stylistic features, integrated with Qing-dynasty spiral decorative paintings and master artworks. White marble railings encircle the tower, paired with vermilion red pillars, creating a magnificent, grand and spectacular complex. Merging religion, culture, art and sightseeing, it forms a brand-new scenic highlight in Northeast China and a sacred pilgrimage site for Taoist believers from all regions.

Jinlin Villa is another unmissable scenic spot. Situated in Dongfeng County, Liaoyuan, Jilin Province, it lies on the transition belt from the Changbai Mountain branches to the Songliao Plain, within the territory of the ancient Shengjing Imperial Hunting Ground of the Qing Dynasty. It is a 45-minute drive from Changchun and covers a land area of around 3 square kilometers.

The villa boasts superior natural surroundings with its own reservoir, fish ponds and ski resort. A newly completed 2,500-square-meter three-star hotel can accommodate over 100 guests simultaneously for lodging, catering, conferences and leisure activities. Leaning on its natural mountains and waters, Jinlin Villa advocates eco-friendly, original ecological tourism. While admiring green hills and clear waters along the lakeshore, visitors can sample signature wild game barbecue exclusive to the villa.

Committed to green catering, the villa sources all ingredients from its self-produced organic produce: live fish from the reservoir, free-range native chickens and livestock, homegrown vegetables and fruits from local farmlands, as well as wild fungus, mushrooms and mountain vegetables foraged from the hills.

Last but not least is Longshan Lake, located on the upper-middle reaches of the Yalu River (the reservoir area of China-DPRK Yunfeng Hydropower Station) and recognized as a famous scenic zone in Jilin Province. Formed by damming the Yalu River, the border river between China and the DPRK, the lake stretches in a winding strip for 130 kilometers, with a maximum width of 2 kilometers and narrow sections merely 400 meters wide.

To its west lie the Laoling branches of the Changbai Mountains; its southern bank borders Ji’an City, facing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea across the water. Within the lake area rise green rolling peaks, presenting a picturesque landscape blending the steep rock formations of stone forests, misty clouds of the Three Gorges, exotic grotesque rocks of Yandang Mountain, and the delicate grace of water towns south of the Yangtze River.

The lake features wide, rippling waters, while both banks are covered with intact, lush forests. In spring, green mountains frame the vast waters, dotted with shuttling fishing boats and yachts. In autumn, the crystal-clear river is surrounded by forests dyed in rich hues, rendering an exceptionally charming and soothing scenery.
