About Jilin City
Our school is in Jilin City; population of about one million. The Songhua river runs through the center of Jilin and its banks are lined with the famous willow trees that, on some winter days, are powdered with a white coat of rime (frost) that draws tourists from afar.
If you are interested in learning Mandarin, Jilin sits within what many consider the zone of “purest” Mandarin spoken.
