Airport

　　Although Jilin is an outlying province in the northeastern part of China (Dongbei), it is still fairly easy to access by plane. The easiest point to enter and leave the province is by Changchun, the capital, which is linked with major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai by daily flights and others including Qingdao, Xiamen and Chengdu. Also, if you can arrange visas in advance, a trip to Vladivostok is also possible. In winter, throngs of people opt to skip Changchun and fly straight to Jilin City to enjoy the Ice Lantern Festival.

Railway station　

　　Jilin boasts a cobweb of rail links, with an aggregate length of over 4,000km. An excess of 80 trains shuttle to and from Changchun. Even today, a considerable proportion of the travelers go to Jilin on a sleeper train from such faraway places as Beijing, Shanghai and even Xi'an! If you are based in Jilin City, it is also convenient to travel within Jilin (and without to cities such as Harbin and Shengyang).

Bus station

To do justice to road transport, it is the least advanced of the three. However, backwardness does not mean impossibility--you will still find that inter-province transport is reliable and the quality of Beijing-Changchun Expressway is among the best of its kind in China. The area of Changbaishan, which houses the province's most popular sight, The Heavenly Lake (Tianchi), is one area that can only be reached by road. See the Changbaishan Transportation Overview for details.
