General presentation
Yanji et Yanbian
Korean cultural capital of China, surrounded by forested mountains, agricultural villages and controlled border towns.
The discovery of Yanji and Yanbian is structured around the Korean Folk Village of Yanbian, Mount Mao'er and Longjing. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, mountain reliefs and the countryside, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
