The climate in Jilin in May is warm and comfortable. Walking into the restaurant, Li Chao, who came to Yanji from Harbin, Heilongjiang to spend the weekend, did not look at the menu, and had already done enough "strategies" on the Internet, and the ordering link was "clean and tidy". When the cool sweet and sour cold noodles and golden and crispy pot wrapped meat were served, he couldn't wait to take a bite and bluntly said: "The taste is authentic!" Come to the right place! ”

Located in the hinterland of the Northeast Asian Economic Circle and at the northern foot of the Changbai Mountain Range, Yanji City, the capital of Yanbian Prefecture in Jilin Province, has a strong Korean cultural atmosphere and mouth-watering special food.

The small city of Yanji has a population of less than 60,<>, but due to its special geographical location, it gathers the cuisines and ethnic specialties of Northeast Asia. Local officials also acted quickly and in a timely manner, attracting a large number of visitors through various activities such as continuously improving the city's reception capacity and launching food weeks.
