Jilin is one of three provinces located in the far northeastern part of China. This region is also known as Manchuria. Jilin shares its northern border with Heilongjiang province. To its west is the "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region", which is a special area within China. To the southwest, it borders Liaoning province. To the southeast, Jilin is next to North Korea.
The capital city of Jilin is Changchun. Its name means "long spring," which is quite a nice name for a city!
Jilin Province: Land and Climate
The land and weather in Jilin are very much like those in its neighbor, Heilongjiang province. It can get quite cold and dry here, especially in winter.
Because of this climate, one of the main crops grown in Jilin is corn. Rice, which needs warmer and wetter conditions to grow well, is not as common here. Farmers in Jilin focus on crops that can handle the cooler temperatures.
