The Shenlufeng Scenic Area in northeast China's Changchun City is captivating tourists with a rich tapestry of cultural tourism activities during the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.
Visitors can climb the highest peak in Changchun and take in breathtaking views of the autumn landscape.
In addition to sightseeing, the scenic area offers family activities where visitors can create bookmarks using pressed leaves or flowers, preserving memories of their Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.
The scenic area also hosts Hanfu and music performances, offering interactive and immersive experiences. Visitors can also taste a 60cm-wide mooncake, adding to the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
"We came here for the beautiful scenery and the many cultural activities. It's a wonderful place to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with kids," said one of the visitors.
"To improve the visitor experience, we have increased the number of sightseeing vehicles and staff. And those with teaching credentials or dressed in traditional Hanfu can enjoy free entry. We hope these efforts can help everyone feel the warmth of the Mid-Autumn Festival," said Yang Xiang, a staff member at Shenlufeng Scenic Area.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that China is willing to work with Thailand to promote reform and improvement of the global governance system.
During talks with his Thai counterpart, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, on the sidelines of a UN Security Council high-level meeting on "upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and strengthening the UN-centered international system," Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China applauds Thailand's greater role on the international stage.
The two countries should work together to revitalize and strengthen the United Nations, said Wang.
The Chinese side appreciates Thailand's firm commitment to the one-China principle, and is ready to enhance high-level exchanges with the Thai side, he said, calling for the earlier formulation of a new action plan for strategic cooperation.
China supports Thailand and Cambodia in upholding dialogue and consultation to peacefully resolve disputes, and stands ready to continue playing a constructive role in this process, Wang said.
For his part, Sihasak, also Thailand's deputy prime minister, said that the world needs rules rather than unilateralism, and stressed the urgent need to jointly safeguard the authority of the United Nations.
He said that Thailand is committed to the one-China policy and is willing to work with China to push for steady progress in building the Thailand-China community with a shared future.
Thailand thanks China for its efforts in mediating the border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia, Sihasak said, adding that dialogues and communications with the Cambodian side will continue in pursuit of peace and stability in the border region.
