Longshan Korean Ethnic Folk Village

　　The Longshan Korean Ethnic Folk Village in Longjing City was established in 1995, officially named by the Jilin Provincial Government, and began receiving foreign guests. Nestled against mountains and beside water, the village boasts beautiful scenery, warm hospitality, and rich folk traditions. It lies 10 kilometers north of Yanji City and 9 kilometers west of Longjing City, backed by the towering Ma'er Mountain and embracing the renowned Hailan River...

　　With strong support and assistance from the provincial government and tourism authorities, over 600,000 yuan was invested to build a new folk museum, traditional Korean-style houses, and modern earthen-and-wooden thatched cottages. Pavilions, a red archway gate, shops were expanded, while swings, springboards, and Korean-style guesthouses capable of hosting foreign visitors were added, forming a comprehensive industry system covering food, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, entertainment, and shopping. In the folk village, visitors can tour villagers’ homes and view various traditional farming tools, ride in ox-drawn carts, swing on traditional swings, and jump on springboards. If timing is right, they may also witness grand celebrations such as Korean elders’ 60th birthday (“Hwagae”), infants’ 100-day celebration, or traditional weddings of young couples — all lively and memorable events.

　　On January 9, 1991, Comrade [General Secretary], General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, personally visited Longshan Village. On August 26, 1995, Singapore’s President Ong Teng Cheong paid a visit to the Longshan Folk Village and planted a “Friendship Tree” symbolizing a bright future.
